Patch 3.1 Known Info?

[Purrfectstorm]

I was wondering what is known about 3.1 so far? I've heard various things but I don't know what has been confirmed from official sources:

- Gold Saucer update (new prizes, modifications to old prize costs and/or MGP payouts, chocobo racing update/additions)

- Wolve's Den ranked play/tournaments/seasons?

- New 24-person raid

- Better crafted accessories for DoW/DoM?

- New relic questline

- Ability to change FC name

And I'm sure there will be new dungeons, which I'm really looking forward to. Anyway, if anyone has any information about any of the above stuff, other expected additions, or release date of 3.1, please post below. Sources would be great also.

I'm really excited about some of these features and I hope they are truly coming soon.
Thanks

For new 24 man raid where is the info from (since 3.0 ?)

[Kikoten]

More main story, hopefully?

Don't have the source "handy" but there is going to be more mini games in the Gold Saucer and another big event type thing on the same scale as Chocobo Racing...some speculate that it could be the snow boarding Yoshi P mentioned he would like in the game.
Of course more main story...we have to find out what happened to the rest of the Scions. Relic Quest and the new 24 man Raid are the HUGE ones that I am excited to see.

Something related to the airship that can be seen in the churning mists, iirc.

More like the Crystal Tower raids we got...
And with so many references in the MSQ, I hope it's based off of VI

It's the mysterious UFO that people have spotted flying in all of the Heavensward regions. It looks like an Allagan space ship. Beyond that we don't know what it is or why we're going there but YoshiP said that UFO would be the new 24-man in the last Q&A.
