I'm actually really excited about 2.0, I have nothing negative to say, no "maybe" or "meh" or "50/50".. just plain excited.

However, on the whole? I think this is a very depressing time for FFXIV players, and gauging public opinion on how "excited" they are about it will never come across in true colors at this point. With 1.0 winding down to a close, no matter how many challenges people have been through with 1.0, and whether or not people admit it or not: this is a sad time to watch it creep closer and closer to server-down/last-character-save. I think mixed feelings are going to be the norm as a result, but that more excitement will come back once the game has been down for a little while.
