It sounds like you think this version (1.22c) is what will become 2.0. That is not the case. 2.0 is pre-alpha and has only been seen by some press & fan site reps at E3.

Today's FFXIV still suffers from a lot of the bad design decisions that SE couldn't incrementally improve upon (large, featureless zones; inefficient server data exchange; laggy UI; etc.). It's why most people I've heard are telling people to wait until 2.0's release before judging the future of this game.
