I think most negative comments against patch are because the unfamiliar mechanics.

The new battle system is awesome and this is just the beginning!

Soon we will have great stuff like overdrives and limitbreaks

Everyone needs to adapt and have faith. SE has an awesome future awaiting us

My favorite aspect of patch is how fun mages are to play now! You have to be more mindful of everything you do

Awesome patch SE: thanks for making the game more exciting!
