I'm just thankful that thanks to Yoshi-P's team having magicians they've somehow managed to get this game running on as ancient and different of hardware as the PS3 is, for those folks still stuck on that version.

Implies that we will be able to get more than one reward. The question is if this is actually the case, (being able to pick 1 reward per tier) or if we are forced to pick only one per week

( I am aware that the screenshots show all but the 1 line rewards being slightly greyed out, though that might be due to an insufficient amount of seals)

The wording sounds like all to me.

Technically not even that last one. And none of these are that significant. But then that's what QoL generally means. The only big example of QoL I can think of is when they added item sorting back in 2.1, was pretty crazy it wasn't there in 2.0.

Removal of furniture destruction on most primal furniture. Summoning bells in Gold Saucer.

And a plethora of display changes, most important of all:
