Huh? QoL means changes that make things easier to manage but don't essentially change how the game is played. Like the change to allow you to buy 99 ventures at once instead of clicking over and over for sets of 5.

The only things that'd be considered QoL in the notes would be that moogle quest having its npcs moved, the door cutscene in aquapolis being changed, tooltip showing full name of long orchestrion songs, the materia melder for estates, that compact version of the lv 6 aetherial wheel, and using food/meds while mounted. 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.

Basically if something makes you more likely to complete things it's not considered QoL; they're actual balance changes to the game.

edit: just noticed this one change:

* Names cannot consist of two or more punctuation marks used in succession.

So what about names that currently have this? I recently renamed one alt's retainers I'l'l'l'l'l, I''l''l''l''l, I'''l'''l'''l'''l and I''''l''''l''''l as a way to keep track of which was which (1st thru 4th based on how many apostrophes in a row). So will I be made to rename these?
