Patch Notes are up!

English patch notes:

Each player will now receive a piece of diamond dust upon completion of Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme).

Japanese patch notes:

極シヴァ討滅戦において、コンプリート時に「氷神の氷晶」がドロップするようになります。
Diamond Dust now drops upon completion of Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme)

Translation and highlight is mine.
So which is it? English patch notes make it sound too good to be true.

Personally my money is on the japanese one. It sounds like they're repeating levi's mirror drops as opposed to just throwing them out like candy.

Hopefully it'll be like the mirrors in Leviathan ex post-buff.

I always refer to the JP notes. It will be 100% drop but all 8 players will fight for it.

Yeah that's what it sounds like going by the Japanese notes.

My guess is $90 for platinum....or something around that. It'll be a ridiculous price for a MMO wedding, either way.

I hope not but I expect the worse so I wont be disappointed.

They need to nerf the earlier Relic quest stages and make them easier. Especially the ridiculous Novus stage with the materia requirements. Come on Squenix, what the hell.

Unfortunately they kinda can't nerf that part specifically, maybe increase ways to get Alexandrite or lower the costs of them. Though I can imagine them doing something with the requirements for the books.

If they want to eventually make it easier they could by making you not need as many Materia. Make it for example, where instead of having to add a certain number of I/II/III/IV Materia per stat, you just have to add as an example, 5-10 of DET Materia (and they can still be the cheap ones) but you still get the maximum amount of DET. It just automatically adds it like with the books.

Alternatively (which would make people rage, I'm sure) they could crash the market by making you able to obtain the Materia through tomes or something.

Keep in mind they do want to retain some level of fair-ness with people who've already done it. Just saying it wouldn't be fair to those who paid full price. Though increasing ways to get alex (Whether it be % increase in Fate drop, or price reductions) would still keep to the fair-ness and making it easier on those that have been left behind or perhaps working on a second / third relic, etc.
