O.o Got something to keep me occupied till start of beta. I'm going to analyze every single word out of it

:O the much awaited return of the search function (via shortcut, since it was existing before in the social menu)

This info really intrigues me. Adding unspoiled locations is awesome, as is new items to obtain and levels/locations in gathering log. Less attempts per gathering point really sucks. It just means more endless circling, and not being able to use food sucks too, since that at least gave a small XP boost and some increases to perception/gathering. I'm curious about the "adjustments" which were made to bonuses, gathering rates, HQ rates, and GP Cost/requirements. I sincerely hope it's not a nerf, gathering was already rather slow and monotonous. Here's hoping it's an improvement.

And crafting XP "adjustments", I have to believe that's a nerf, considering how much faster it was to level a craft than anything else. Kinda bummed about that, but who knows... maybe it's really minor, or maybe it's an increase (a man can dream...).

Standard operating prodecure for Square-Enix in MMOs. They don't state the amount, merely "increased", "lowered", "adjusted", or "adjustment to" except under extremely rare circumstances.

I think the general consensus during phase 3 was that gathering was way too slow. Yoshi said the dev team would look into it. Hopefully that means we'll get a buff on the exp gain rate. Six to four, though, that's worrying. I assume that because we can't use food anymore, those four chances we have at getting something should be worthwhile.

Well that was a long read. I'm pretty stoked about them putting in the ability for us ps3 users to be able to screen cap.

Why won't the provoke action affect Fate enemies? What if it was like a world boss in the fate wouldn't that make it impossible to tank?

I like the materia request functions. That is kind of cool that you can just be walking along minding your own business and someone recognizes your awesomeness and asks you to meld their materia.

Yeah i can see why the are changeing the crafting xp, you could get 1000xp from almoat any level recipe if you put some quality in it. Im really wondering what they will do with gathering "unspoiled" spots sound pretty cool, when i was leveling mineing from 17-21, i broke it down and it was about 35-45 mins to level up one level, not too bad in my book, i wonder if they are incressing the xp. All in all just really excited for this game.

Dark Matter - no longer gathered. How do we get Dark Matter then so we can repair our armor. They left that little ditty of info out.

Any guesses? Will dark matter have to be crafted from other materials? Or just outright bought from a NPC?
I'm glad they have looking for party status.

Thanks for all the information. It made for a nice read with my morning coffee. Its a lot to take in, and no way I'm going to remember it.

Dark matter drops during instances and some npcs sell it. It's also easy to just have a npc fix the gear too.

Given the bother it was to change into 3 different crafting jobs I did use npc's to fix the gear. BUT, I am interested
in the long run to meld materia. Its one thing to to gather dark matter (easy and free) its another to have to go through instances for the chance to get it or have to BUY it. Bleh.

I don't like this change. People are going to get upset over deaths now because it lowers the reward, and those negative vibes tend to get focused on a single player (i.e. blame the healer, or blame the tank).

Bonuses based on completion time make more sense. The burden is then shared by the entire group, and it's harder to pin the blame on a single player if you fail to get the bonus.
