Reading these patch notes are like reading "The Lord of the Rings". Everytime I go through them I find something I missed before. After reading them I am almost afraid of the sizes for 1.20 and 1.21. Most of my concerns have been addressed by other posters before me. Only need 1 clarification though <probably overreading>.

Notes say that adding Materia can only be done by Diciples of the Hand. Does this mean just having a DoH item equiped or did you actually have to have selected DoH when you first created youyr character?

Aside from that this is awesome. It will probably take me so much time exploring the new content that I should have a large stockpile of levee credits stored by the time I am done. The live session with Yoshi-P should really be interesting after reading this
