So... This is the "improved encounter design"?

I'm pretty sure Yoshida made a correction that the improved encounters are coming in 7.2, not in 7.0.

We'll probably see by the 2nd tier.

No that was a mistranslation

The new encounter design is from 7.0 the job changes are for 8.0 but was mistranslated as actually starting in 7.2, that’s where the 7.2 figure comes from

There's been a lot of conflicting information on it, I don't think Yoshida has clarified anything on the matter either, aside from just saying that 7.2 will not contain job reworks.

I'd personally just wait and see if 7.2 changes anything much, 7.0 encounters were generally well received, so hopefully they'll put together something nice and not act on the feedback that the content is too hard now.

Would be pretty nice if they could bring back unique mechanics, but I fear that people will whine if they bring back something like Digititis with the forced damage down.
