As for 2.0 promosing, i think a lot of people expect more than what is said.

It rewards loyalty, which alot of games do think verteran rewards "I didn't play at release and I have to wait 1 year for this item..." I don't think it will matter too much, I bet the real rage will come if we still have 120 members in a linkshell max, I don't wanna miss talking to my ls just because I'm playing a new character with my friends.

I doubt it, once 2.0 launches the full developement team (250+ strong) will be working on 2.0 content alone, so they should be able to push out some sizeable content quickly

You enforce my own statement. It not like we are gonna get content just flowing out like we are not.
the majority of use have been around since XI. more then likly after 2.0 we won't see any real extra content
till an exspantion pack is released. SE still needs to make money on this game and Putting 250+ strong on
a project need to bring addional funds

Not to sound like an ass, but where are we getting this 250 number from? Just curious.

Conclusion of the Unbilled Period and Commencement of Subscription Billing

The unbilled period has remained in place for the past year as our development and operation teams of over 250 staff have worked to bring you FINAL FANTASY XIV. I apologize for the belated nature of my next announcement, but as significant updates to the game have been released over the last ten months, a portion of the team has also been simultaneously devoted to working solely on the new FINAL FANTASY XIV. This is an essential part of the process of realizing the ideal we have envisioned. Planning for the new FINAL FANTASY XIV began in January of this year, and April saw the start of large-scale tasks. Since then, however, we have made no compromises in the game’s operation and updates. I believe this is evident if you review the contents of the updates that have been released thus far.

yes there will be a good bit of changes. Content wise we won't see to much that will keep us busy.

New player will have a much better experiance.

Casual play in a casual game wins again!

2.0 will bring about world peace, universal 500mb broadband,free healthcare and allow your computer to directly dispense pizza,cookies and hot or cold beverages of your choice. No AH though.

It won't have all of the changes right away, but it better have a lot of them. 'Content' isn't really my main concern because the UI and other functionalities are what bother me the most right now. I KNOW the content will come, so I hope they don't screw up the framework, if you know what I mean.

My biggest concern about 2.0 is this: They projected the 'finish' date when 2.0 would be complete many moons ago. It hasn't been altered much, if at all. Their biggest mistake with 1.0 was 'releasing it too soon'. Had they waited a few months and tried to implement fixes suggested by the alpha/beta teams, it may not have failed so hard at launch... but they didn't. They pushed the game to be released on time and that is REALLY why FFXIV failed so much at the start. I am hoping that if 2.0 isn't ready for release when they say it will be, they will have NO QUALMS pushing back the release a month or two. I don't mind waiting if it means the difference between a failed relaunch and a complete success.

To make a long story short: I hope they don't make the same mistake twice.
