Hello,
I just wanted to give my feedback and check opinions of others on 3.2..

How would you rate 3.2 in comparison to other patches?

In my opinion this is finally patch after a while that satisfied me almost in every aspect.
+ The customization option given by ability to meld every gear
+ The MSQ + Sidequests (Hildi)
+ Vath - really like the adventurer's guild thingy
+ The Feast - it is not perfect PvP, but it is the best we have got so far in my opinion.
+ Alexander Midas - after dying of boredom in A1-2 savage and then enjoying A3 savage just to be bored again in A4s, I feel that SE did great job with a5-6s (haven't tried the other so far) and A7-8 normal looked fluid and fun too (will see how I feel after I spend weeks in savage modes).
+ Sephirot Extreme - to me it really seems that 3.X scored big time with the primals - Ravana, Thordan, Sephi are all nice fights, Bismarck isn't my cup of tea.
+ Seasonal events - Hatching Tide repeatable quests are much better and different from anything I have seen in seasonal events so far.

++ From MSQ (grand melee), quests (Vath, Hatching Tide) we can see that there are some new ideas being tested so we won't be forced to do only fetch quests and fates all the time and I really support this. Big scale quest fights, NPCs randomly roaming around.. why not.

- Expert dungeons - They look good, music is good, but it is hard not to fall asleep in them.

Atleast from my point of view SE really stepped their game up with 3.2
