Bayohne has posted a translated post originally posted by Producer/Director Yoshida. This one is quite a read!

<div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>Hi everyone, Producer/Director Yoshida here.

The document I created for version 2.0 was huge and parts of it may have seemed vague and caused some confusion. I would like to provide some further details on FFXIV version 2.0, such as the transfer of character data and the decision to start billing before the next Letter from the Producer LIVE. I also intend to further explain things to you directly on the day of the LIVE broadcast as well.
(I’ll try to keep my answers on each topic as brief as possible)

FFXIV Version 2.0
The general outline for FFXIV version 2.0 is as follows:

Rebuild: Level/Map Design
Rebuild: Graphics Engine
Reboot: Server System Re-design (including layout)
Rebuild: UI System Reboot + 'Add-on' support
Reboot: Expanding the Player Community

These five points provide the driving force behind the next stage of FFXIV.
As I’ve been insisting, we’re “in the middle of overhauling the game” and I’ve been working to provide clear explanations and updates about what we have achieved so far, I’d like you to take this as an official announcement that FFXIV 2.0 is on the way.

Due to way that our servers currently operate, it has been difficult to implement and adjust these things.

Opening new servers
Setting up dedicated language-specific servers (to have language specific/global parallel worlds)
World transfer service (Limited window to move to a new server)

However, here is what the development team has managed to implement and adjust based on your feedback:

The introduction of new recipes
The Dzemael Darkhold and other new content
The introduction of personal and rental chocobos
UI Overhaul
The rebuilding of the battle system
The introduction of the Grand Company system
Quest continuation implementation
Adjusting and enhancing the beginning of the game
Continuous server adjustments

Which also define what "version 2.0" will be and will be incorporated as they are when the game relaunches.
(Working from the feedback you have given us, we’ll be switching to the brand new server and UI in the final stage).

However, after version 2.0 launches, some content will be removed or changed for quests related to "The Seventh Umbral Era" as well as new Primal content. Expect this new content to introduce items and achievements that otherwise can’t be obtained in version 2.0 (or after).

Furthermore, we’ll be implementing the following in patch 1.20:

BWHAHAHA paying for this crap? Not going to happen.
 
I think the point of the FFXIV 2.0 concept is to make it into something that is worth paying for.

Just sayin'.

I know that, but the game has been out for a year. Reintroducing billing isn't going to make people to want to play it especially with out a preview. Making it pay to play wont bring back those that haven't played the game since last year come back. They need to reintroduce the game and let people play it for a while to determine if it's worth paying for.

They're doing just that - adding another free trial for a few months when 2.0 comes out to ensure everyone comes back and tries it.

I think they really NEED the cash rather then Wanting the cash. I'm sure the developers don't want to charge but their hands are probably being forced my their lack of funds in their bank account.
 
I would pay for the game in the state it is now >_>
 
Me to, there gonna be so much happening between now and 2.0. The jobs system, auction house, a usable LFM/LFG system, lots of new content in the empire storyline, which isn't gonna be around anymore after 2.0. I think we have plenty to look forward to.
 
The great thing is that the game is fully functional now. No bugs really and no ridiculous loading times. There is some more added content. Issue is the servers are still kind of dead. Istory has roughly 200 active users right now. ;/

Still. I found a linkshell and it is fun. Parties are just like XI and in November we'll have the basic search functions that should have been there from a year ago.
 
What server are you on, Rips? If you are on Istory I can hook you up with pearl with a great group of people. We party almost every night :)
 
I'm on Istory as well. Name is Rips Chainbreaker. I have a great shell but I'll take a pearl.
 
Make a character on Besaid!! That's where the party's at! :) lol No, that's just where my main char is, but Besaid has a very good server population ^^b
 
Are 90% of you on Istory..?
 
Istory is the server the majority of QCDN joined at launch.
 
Did you guys know the the average population on Istory is 200 people? Lol. It's considered one of the medium sized servers.

It doesn't matter where you make your character. A server transfer system will come out when 2.0 comes out.

P.S. Summoner job has been confirmed apparently. Can't wait until Patch 1.21 in early February.

Just to confirm that we're on the same page, Summoner isn't being released with the other jobs in 1.21. I think it's a 2.0 job they have in the works. None the less, I'm looking forward to getting my Paladin fired up in 1.21.
 
Can't wait for drg =) crossing my fingers hoping we get a wyvern.

and the usable party search feature will improve things alot.
 
Population on Istory is large enough where shouting for a group or looking for a party in Ul'Dah is almost instant. :)
 
If there was a Drk class I'd probably consider reinstalling FFXIV. But atm.. no thanks. SW:ToR around the corner.
 
Buncha wigger e-tards from Asura moved en masse to Istory.
MoovinBrix.
Wasn't happy to see them there.
Who do the rest of ya'll hang with?
 
Endgame wise most people from qcdn seem to be in Illuminati, or Daeva of War (who just got first NA kill of ifrit on istory =P )
