The hotfixes werent even fixes.

Exp gains are too modest to matter. I don't think they will increase chain parties or soloing. The get rid of fireworks didn't even work; you still get fireworks, about half as much. You now get potions for the other half. The percentages for everything else but grade V materia suck. I don't know about the boss rendering better, and I guess the draw in thing being fixed is nice, but none of this changes anything really. You don't get increased crystals from soloing or partying, you still get anemos crystals only from FATES, and you can't actually do exp parties without a tank player and a healer player. You still have the big level penalties to exp in party, and you still can only chain solo from things your exact level.

IDK why they bothered, except for the rendering and draw-in.
