That's a heck of a lot of notes, but well worth reading through.

From everything they said, I've gotta say, I love the new rings they've added for completing the Hunting Log and Unique Recipe achievements, as well as Dhorme Chimera and Hydra being added to the Duty Finder. The ability to keep the Sic or Obey stances active outside of battle without them resetting is fantastic, and I'm curious to see how the new AoE indicators work out. But, to be honest, the best addition: being able to refresh the Party Finder! I'm glad they added that sooner rather than later, haha! Oh, and of course, the way weather affects your character is great--I can't wait to see if they add anything else later, like snow or sand sticking to your character during a blizzard or sandstorm, or if their skin will have a sheen from sweat during a heat wave. Gotta love those little touches =P
