Thread: 4.2 Patch Notes

Of course. But it's a lot of scrolling through 4.0 stuff to get to the bits that will affect my play.

I never saw anyone very excited for this, even though I know it was in the preliminary, but we no longer get hit with Heavy while riding mounts. I get what that was all about, but it was seriously just annoying more than anything.

Still very glad that elemental materia will no longer clog up space, and fewer loser prizes when converting.
I'm interested to see what changes they've made to some old ARR gear (such as circlets or ring bands) that previously had multiple variations for each element. With elemental stats gone, that could leave all that gear just being duplicates with slightly different colored gemstones.

For those who for some reason can't read the notes. For Second Lts

That's Ehcatl Sealant, mistranslated. They also listed it as being reduced in from 8 Oaknots to 3.

MCH was buffed through a bug fix. Turret damage is going up to compensate for the Hypercharge reduction. It might actually be more correct to say that the 6% Hypercharge was a band-aid fix for the turret bug and now that the bug is fixed they can move it back to 5%.

I don't think it's mistranslated. There's a part saying they change the Ehcatl Sealant's name to quick hardening sealant.

So even after the full patch notes, no sign of the text resizing feature shown in the dev blog?

That's right. Maybe they didnt bother to put in all QOL changes?

There are QOL changes present that are far more minor than that one

I know, that's why i said they might not put it all in the notes. But we'll just have to see tomorrow.

Crafter stuff has been reduced but the Gathering folklore books are still expensive AF for both HW and SB.
