      It's a good thing I got my game in. I'll try to install everything this weekend and activate my account before I forget and then have to wait.

      EDIT: Also, good to see other people caring about FFXIV and making updates.

      Personally I don't plan on resubscribing until I've heard from people who've actually played A Realm Reborn, but I am anticipating!

      People who could playit before should be able to play it in 2.0. People with lower level computers may be able to play it if they turn down settings, too. I believe the overall spec stuff goes like this: They're making it so people who have crappy computers can play it with crappy settings and people with amazing computers can play it with amazing settings.

      It's also the case of people who have crappy computers can play it and the quality will still be good, due to how the new engine works (and a good reason other developers were very interested in it).
