No new materia for Patch 1.20?

Just as title says, I was sort of hoping for new materia....... particularly +shield block rate........ We have +parry so, was hoping this would be evened out.

Unless you guys are planning to let Gladiator be able to parry with shield equipped again?

I want to say yes (edit: to the parry with a shield question), but I'm basing this only on the new Grand Company swords having a Parry stat.

edit2: but there's always the possibility that this was meant for a gladiator who does not use a shield.
