To put a little context back into my statement I do agree that 1.0 lacked a little oomph, I also have taken into consideration all the other factors surrounding 1.0, such as, failed launch, restructured the team, create a game plan, work with the fans, rebooting the game from the ground up while maintaining the existing failed one, Greatly improved 1.0 to a playable state, etc and so on. As well the game is done, gone, never to return, they burned it with fire, the lifeforce of the equine has expired, 2+ months ago. I do not agree that this topic really needs to continue being abused.

Context for my quoted comment will be provided below.

You do realize they could have just shut down so they could have focused on the rebuild instead. Ya, a lot of 1.0 felt rushed. Are you surprised? Do you think this will be exactly the same in ARR?

It all boiled down to them just wanting SE to take their time with the story and make it more flushed out and "worthwhile". At least that's what I think I eventually got out of the interactions.
If all you are doing is lamenting about something thats dead and gone, I apologize for interrupting. But if you are expressing this as a reflection of what ARR will be like, then i would like to see your crystal ball. As of yet, no one aside from dev's or possibly Alpha testers "might" have had a small sneak peak as to the plans for the rebuild. I'm pretty sure this team will be paying more attention to detail because so far they have done more for FFXIV then the first team ever did. They did it amongst heavy fire from Fans and critics alike no less.
