our 3rd week, what do you guys think of 3.4 so far? for me it's an improvement. the new raid while easier, seems to fit more with the mid-core, and offers an entry for casuals to try savage. i love Sophia fight as well, it was well done specially the music.

crafting wise, it was challenging for me to gear up the first few days ( thanks to overpriced materia in mb ) , it was fun to make some of the weapons and gear for my raid team.

I do however, have some negative feelings about some of the new additions , the squadron seems nice that u can get rank, but i think it's a very cheap way from SE , similar to Wondrous Tails/relic quests, to force players to redo the rehashed old content again , instead of doing new content, we just keep getting more and more check lists of old content, to help new players. while sadly open world remains empty / ghost towns.
