Obviously I'm going to check on the patch notes, but that's quite the read from what I can tell so far, lol. Can anyone paraphrase the huger additions to XIV since 1.7?

I've been reading a lot about 2.0, and think that is looking pretty awesome.

Back from the future?

Yoshida stated that Primals will be roaming come 2.0, nothing else touched on that fact, just that Odin is main roaming Primal, but ifrit and etc will be on the overworld as well.

- Grand Company Quests. You must align with Twin Adder in Gridania, Maelstrom in Limsa or Immortal Flames in Ul'dah and complete quests to earn company seals and rank up within that company. You can also purchase unique items with your seals. The story events leading up to 2.0 are found here.
