Will we have to make new characters in 2.0?

**Wakwazu** · 07-27-2012 06:01 AM

I know we get to keep our characters but, to experience the 'new story' will we have to start a new character or can we simply go back?

I have a level 30 LNC right now, is there any benefit to getting to 50 before 2.0? Any 'End of the World' exclusive items we get to take to 2.0 with us?

Pretty sure we'll all be able to experience the new story without making new characters. That's what it sounds like when the devs talk about it. I'm sure they wouldn't exclude the loyal fans who stuck with them so long. ;3

I would definitely get at least one 50 before 2.0 to experience the one-time content in the game right now. Don't wanna miss out on that epic story. Unsure about items that may be unavailable later.

When we get level 50 can we fight the new Final Boss or do we have to gear up? I don't know anything about the end game in FFXIV.

I would think you'd have to gear up to some degree. Perhaps you could make some friends who might let you borrow gear if need be. But leves make decent money at level 30+. I think if you work on some leves you could get half-decent gear. :3

I'm unclear on the requirements for the new "final boss" battle. Unsure which quests need to be done first and such. Patch notes might say.

(Sorry for the late reply. Been busy today. X3)

I'm working on getting to 50 just for that reason. Curious tho, are the story missions all soloable?

I'm in the same boat as you are, working on getting brd and getting it to 50 before 2.0. I hope they let us go back and do the beginning story. Trying to get as much done now as i can so when 2.0 comes out and hopfully they release pet jobs i can focus all my attention on leveling it. YAY PET JOBS!

Afraid not. Many have minimum member requirements, and some without minimum requirement (magitek fight for example) are ridiculously hard/impossible solo.

That's Company missions. Story missions are another affair and, at level 50, all are soloable. More than half don't really require any fighting at all.

your AF s houdl be acceptable. focus on accesseries for bare-minimum gear. you don't need the super elite gear to just beat the storyline. it helps but is not a requirement.

if you have the time and dedication GC gear is very nice, and doesnt' cost gil. with sanction many of the weapons are on par or better than primal weapons.

Thank you for the helpful replies.

Will the FFXIV servers go down when 2.0 Beta goes live or can we still play? I've tried searching the forums, google, and FAQs for the answer but I can't find it.
