That is actually a very good argument. If this trick change was to balance savage level 4 man content, I am willing to accept it in exchange for more challenging content. Even so, square should have come out and explained it was done in relation to criterion. We still don't know anything about criterion, so why these changes are happening now before an ultimate instead of the patch that introduces criterion is bizarre. I will say this is a good theory though, but does square have the foresight to do such a thing? I must say I'm not too convinced they do at the moment.
