It's a lot of information we already knew, but there's some interesting stuff we only speculated one, too. To wit:
Flying isn't on the table for 2.x Eorzea, might be revisited in the future
Only new combat actions will come from the class quests
New Disciple of the Hand actions granted through quests
Doing current trials with less than 8 will be possible
New level sync parameters will set you to minimum ilvl for Challenge Modes
Alexander loot doubleconfirmed to be on the WoD lockout system - Run as much as you want, loot only once
Lootmaster system incoming, ability to pass after lotting, all-greed only
Token system similar to 1.0 for trials: Every kill gives a token, 10 tokens buys an item
SE considers Midlander to be the main character
There was some discussion on what armor to show off for the Heavensward trailer
The ARR End of an Era trailer was in production BEFORE Louisoix's name was even finalized - He's referred to as "Grandpa" internally
Flames of Truth was given the working name "Grandpa's Stands His Ground"
Yoshida revealed that Ishgard was planned to be opened in the 1.0 arc
