As we see the people is complaining because of the PS3 limitations, support for the PS4 and PC platforms will be terminated in the near future so every player has an equal experience on the PS3. This change will also alleviate a lot of headaches in the Dev team, because from now on when they want to add features to the game they won't be able to make them too complex or demanding.

"Instead of adding additional housing plots on each server the team has decided to add a monthly housing fee. You will now pay for rent, magic consumption, and additional charges for every FC member and chocobo stabled. Payments will be made on the Mogstation in the form of Crysta. Failure to pay your rent puts the plot back on the market. If your home is repossessed you will be given a "Repo-Moogle Minion" and a new title "Mogstation! Buy Crysta! 100% Hand Crafted!"

ROG: Aeolian Edge
ARC: Hawk's Eye
ACN: Virus
CNJ: Aero

Choose wisely.

The issue of Mudra Lag has been addressed. Mudras will now have a one second casting time.

RNG issues have been resolved. We've been hearing reports of people getting these items in a period of time that is not in-line with what the development team expected. As such, all items that were previously RNG will now be awarded after a flat 50 attempts to get it have been made. Loot tables remain unchanged.

It's been determined that personal housing is prohibitively expensive. In order to resolve this a system has been put into place where a player may work to build their own house, rather than buy one with gil. The materials for these houses will be 4-star craftable items. The recipes will be purchasable from Talan for 30 Mastercraft Demimateria. A total of 10,000 Galvanized Nails, 5,000 Pressure Treated Lumber, 2,000 Kiln-Fired Tile, and 1,000 Roofing Shingles must be crafted (All HQ) and turned in to the Housing Foreman on an empty plot.

We've been hearing reports of certain classes out-performing others. From this point forward there will be a hard-cap on your DPS based on your item level. Abilities that deal damage beyond this hard-cap will instead report a result of Ineffective.

In order to stimulate the economy and drive down the price of high-level materia, a system is being put in to place where you may increase the level of materia through Bonding. All materia will now start at Tier one and through Bonding, increased in level. A new catalyst is required for this process (Called Aether Soaked Matter) that can be gathered as a rare item in unspoiled nodes. To increase the level of the materia it must be Bonded with another materia of the same Tier. Success rate is determined by the Tier in the following manner: Tier 1: 80%, Tier 2: 50%, Tier 3: 20%. Failure results in the loss of one or both materia as well as the catalyst.

To appeal to a boarder audience from 3.0 and on Crysta will be a craftable item in the game by any DoH, it will be tradeable and sellable in the Markets. A new NPC will be added to the Manderville Golden Saucer where you will be able to transfer your crysta from your character to your MogStation balance, but transferign crysta from the Mogstation to your character won't be possible. The materials needed to craft Crysta will be updated with each patch to maintain the desired level of crafting difficulty of this item.

Additonal note: From 3.0 and on all the gill selling companies are subsidiaries form Square-Enix Co.

To help with balancing the cost of housing, all small and medium houses have been removed. Owners of these types of houses will have first choice on their old plot, but must pay the adjusted price.
