Hmm, well if you are using the exact same account as before then your character should still be there, though I am not sure which server it would be on exactly, except that it would exist on one of the Legacy servers. If you are using a completely new account, then... well, I don't think you can get it transferred. You'd have to use the same account that you used in 1.0.
If you find that it is on a Legacy server that you don't want to play on, then you can have it transferred from that server to another Legacy server. Otherwise, if you want to play on a normal server you'd need to start over with a new character. This is because at the moment SE has decided to not allow Legacy Characters to transfer to non-legacy (normal) servers. It's kind of silly, to be honest, but whatever. Maybe they'll lift the restrictions on the transfer service in another 4-6 months after the housing system sucks up a good chunk of gil from the economies to level things out.
