Love the changes, this is what I have asked for since day 1. This is remarkable considering how cryptic the HQ system was in FFXI. Now if I want to spend 2-4min. on a synth and really max out the quality, equip the proper gear, use all 10 abilities, etc I can really make a big impact on my HQ results. Only downside is I feel like I should avoid doing any synths till 1.21 and the stockpile of materia I have are gonna just collect some dust. Can't wait for 1.21!!!
