"The party member list will be sorted automatically upon entering a duty.
Sorting order can be adjusted via the Party List tab under UI Settings in the Character Configuration interface."

Yay!~ It's silly, but it drives me nuts every time I'm in an instance and have to re-order the party list. I play on a controller, so I like to have the tanks right at the top of the party for easy cures. Yayyyyy, thank you! Finally!

"Teleport can no longer be used when engaged with an enemy."

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~! I abused this a lot when I was done with quests and whatever. xD Ah, well.

Should I feel worried that they didn't mention anything about fantasia potion apart from they weren't unique anymore? :<

melding mataria to a scroll... and they had to postpone this update over a month? really? i'm seriously infuriated by this I would rather go farm atma for another 30 hours then deal with materia/crafting classes, this is novious it should have absolutely nothing to do with player crafting at this point. Not to mention this also completely removes any work from the player except for gathering the mats needed to meld. So in other words this part of the weapon is a pure who has the most gil race... which is not what the novious is supposed to be at all, gil shouldn't be a factor.

The delay was to increase the ways we get the Alexandrites, which are the catalysts used.

this is what im thinking about now, even check mogstation and nothing under optional services.

Something tells me there'll be more to Novus than just the "infusing materia" part. I expect the sphere scrolls themselves to take a long time to get so I wouldn't worry about materia prices just yet.

We've know Alexandrite will need to be collected for some time. It's listed as a Catalyst so I imagine it will replace Carbonized Matter for melding Scrolls.

It doesnt need to cost anything.
you can spiritbond without DoH/L, and i dont think we'll need DoH to *meld* materias to scrolls.
also you need to get alexandrites and sphere scrolls.
ofc those with lots of money, or those that SB a lot, previously, will get their Novus a little faster. And you needed materias for making your relic, to begin with, so what's the fuss now?

Uhm, that Gae Bolg got a pretty good boost in crit rate...

The delay was to increase the ways we get the Alexandrites, which are the catalysts used.

Having plenty of ways to get a catalyst won't matter when materia is 110k+ already and can expect to see 200k+ per materia(like accuracy). over 1 mil to make a novious isn't right it's not in the spirit of the weapon and they should have told us a month ago to start working towards the materia we need or saving money. Instead they told us we have quest and we are adding more ways for you to obtain items needed for novious. this is adding more ways to get 1 item a catalysit. when the real concern is that there is no where near enough materia on the market to support this, on top of the fact there is no way to reliably create new materia, it's all luck based and worse then atma. No there was no need to postpone a month for this update.

Curtana with Vit, Str, Parry and Dex anyone? (doesn't dex improve block and parry rates?)
