2.2.5 Patch Notes Up

as long as transmuting gives grade v materia ill be happy, it would make sense since grade v carb matter was a quest reward. but probably not considering nothing was mentioned about any new gathering additions to actually get grade v carb. ill just hope theres still a bunch of junk IVs left on the mb when i get on lol

Certain furnishings can no longer be obtained via quick exploration ventures.

Most educated guess would be the 3 stars that require special materials (i.e. Jute, Glazenut, White Raven Armor Fragment).

A matching system will be implemented so high rank players don't get matched with low rank

The animal series will be implemented in 2.25
2.25 is going to have a massive PVP update

No official source?

Guess we'll have to wait until they re-activate the page for everyone else to see the notes.

A: We'll be implementing a system that makes it less likely for players with lower PvP ranks to get matched with people with higher PvP ranks. Also, because you can obtain all PvP-specific gear after reaching rank 30 and become extremely powerful very quickly, we'll be making adjustments to the timing of rewards to make the upgrade process more gradual. We are also planning for a large update to the Wolves' Den in patch 2.25, at which time we'll raise the maximum PvP rank to 40 and implement the new PvP-specific equipment that I've shown off previously. We're calling this the “Animal Series,” so if you are into PvP, be sure to get this equipment and try it out with glamours.

Quoted from the relevant Live Letter (XIII Q&A) on this forum.

You can argue that it seems to only explicitly state a change in maximum rank and addition of new equipment, but the wording implies that there will be a large update to the Wolves' Den, and the rank increase and equipment addition will happen IN ADDITION to it. That is what PvP players were desperately hoping for given how broken the current system is.
