My thoughts:

Anima weapons: I'm thrilled that their longevity was specifically addressed, that was the ONE thing I wanted from this discussion. TL;DR - they'll be leap-frogged with raiding gear in 3.2 and then become on-par or better again in 3.25 or 3.3. I think lots of people may be upset with this because if you're on the bleeding edge of progession you won't be using your relic from like Feb-June. HOWEVER, for those of us filthy casuals who are taking the grind nice and slow, I love it. It totally relieved the pressure: I feel like I can work the grind until June and not have missed out on anything.

Housing: More housing availability in patch 3.2, Ishgard opens up after 3.3. That sounds good! I'm sure it won't fix all the problems, but it'll be an improvement

Raiding: Midas (Savage) will be less hard than Gordias (Savage). I think that will please all the people who couldn't clear A4S, unless an A4S clear is required to progress to Midas. In that case, why? They'll make raiding content easier for the people who cleared it when it was suicidally hard, but for the people who couldn't clear no dice. That development decision doesn't make any sense. It makes me think that, logically, an A4S clear won't be required...BUT that requires logic/gameplay > lore, and I don't think that's how this game's devs think...skeptical about this.

Diadem in future = less-zerg-rush more exploring focused/incentivized. Will be great, I'm sure, if it works as intended...All about the effectiveness of implementation on this point.

New Dungeon/Trials etc. New content always good! I like the sound of the Warring Traid Trial - lots of people asked for the WT to be a trial. Love the allusion to FFVI. And it kinda sounds like SCP Containment Breach....

PvP: The gil-based PvP wolves den thing looks like it has potential. I've played a little WD myself and (I'm the healer) I always get rekt in like the first five seconds. BUT if I was worth like 10% of the gil than the warrior on the team, maybe I could actually play/practice/get good so I don't get rekt all the time. I could possible break out of the vicious PvP noob cycle! Except...that I think people will still go for the healers first. Victory > Gil. Who knows...

That's everything I cared about. All and all, very pleased. IF it actually gets implemented like intended.

I thought it was 3.3 we were getting more housing and somtime after that ishgard housing?

I could be wrong on the timing. I honestly didn't triple check, I just posted my initial impression.

The point is that an effort is being made. And that's exciting because honestly any effort made into housing is likely to be an improvement over the current situation
