There is no learning curve because players would rather cry for nerfs than figure out what it is they're doing wrong, and the devs happily oblige. The last time we had "medium" difficulty content was Pharos Sirius and it was nerfed to the ground.

My assumption is minor adjustments, item removal and replacement, and uploading some pre content for the expansion (to reduce day one and early downloads). However, prior to rouge they removed things like maddening blade and other short dagger like weapons for gld/pld and replaced them with swords. They might do the same thing in this or the next one and remove any large swords that are named after two handed long swords and replace them with shorter/thinner one handed blades.

In order to create a greater level of balance amongst melee DPS roles, the following revisions have been made:

LNC/DRG Jump: Additional Effect: Reduces target's critical hit evasion by 10%. Duration 10s

Where are you getting that from?

further increase drop rate of alex from fates and dungeon items for zodiac, pls.

People usually get their hopes up, then the patch notes land:

*Fixed small graphical glitch of Nanamo's right toe.

I doubt they'll unlock poetics, but even if I did it wouldn't make me run the godawful 2.5 dungeons any more than I already do.

Pretty sure there'll be FCoB adjustments, though in what ways I'd rather not guess. If it gets nerfed then I really fear for the skill of the playerbase in 3.0.

The ability to memorize and be patient is the only skill needed. Most people have the former, but not the latter.
