From now to 2.0

[Arcanum26]

Hello,

I was just wondering if what we do now will be dragged in into 2.0?

I mean I don't want to do hamlets, grind primals or w/e to find out that everything gets destryed, everything gets obsolete and that level cap raises to 99.

Thank you for your precious inquiry on this subject.

Yes, it will be nice to have a detailed list of what will be dropped, especially achievements that will no longer be doable.

Sad galka is sad. Feel free to cry somewhere else.

1. Content isn't that bad.

2. It is unlikely they are going to raise the level cap as there is no reason to currently.

3. Every game has updates and new gear?

4. Enjoy the ride?



Idk what your looking for. Are you looking to achieve something truely "challenging" which you would define as what? Then expect the developers to keep your fancy gear you spent 1 week to get by said "challenging 100% drop rate content" and wear it like its gold for 4 years like a relic pld shield from ff11? :P

P.S. its common knowledge that gear inst getting deleted, only older non-compatible content which will be upgraded.

Read this interview from about 8 months ago and you should understand:

JeuxOnline 2.0 Interview

Chuki : In the PDF, you said that Excalibur is a legendary weapon but that its appearance may change. What did you mean?

Naoki Yoshida : The reason behind the whole idea, I think Final Fantasy XI had the same problem, but because it’s a MMO, it’s difficult to bring these legendary, traditional weapons as additional items, for example, the Genji set, or Excalibur, Ragnarok… that kind of very important items which you saw in previous Final Fantasies. When you bring it to a MMO, the power level will always increase, for example, if I do bring the whole Genji set in the next raid, as a reward you can get in the raid, in a one year time, there’s going to be a stronger raid, and you’re going to need stronger items. And the people will be saying “the Genji set in Final Fantasy XIV is just a really weak rip-off!”. We don’t want to give that different impression while it’s supposed to be a legendary item, we don’t want to make it weak in MMO just because it’s a MMO. That’s why I decided to make this new system for Final Fantasy XIV.

Instead, of course, we can’t just keep Genji set off the game until it is old enough, because that’s not the whole point. We are going to divide Final Fantasy XIV in seasons, that might be one year or two years, we carefully see how the game balance is moving forward. But within these seasons, I want to make the players able to apply for these legendary items, in order to register for your own special item. For example, for the Grand Company, if you have a sword with like, level 30 strength and level 40 piety, and you have a weapon that matches that, then you can apply for the Excalibur. And in the case you have it, you will have special graphics for your new Excalibur.

But then, for example, in another year time, when the whole game is going to be even more difficult and complicated, we’ll be changing the rules of what can be called Excalibur. Then, you have to apply again to have the new graphics for this new Excalibur, there’s always going to be different types of Excaliburs, maybe having like a Legendary Season. For the next rule, you might have to work close with the crafters who can use Materia to make the new weapon so you can have a cooperation. We really want it to be like a Final Fantasy special item, to be part of this legacy item.

It was a french interview and was translated badly into english. Basically what it's trying to say is that Relic weapons won't become outdated, because they will continuously add on to the questline to make the weapon better as the game progresses.

lol I really hope so. I like the idea of progressively making your relic weapon stronger.
