I'm not going to summarise everything, but the "newly double-dyeable" list is a bit overwhelming so to simplify that down...

Anima weapons and intermediate stages

The Twelve's PVP series (Halone, Althyk, Oschon, Thaliak)

Majestic (Alma)
Oracle (Ryne)
Gaia
Zero

Other:
two specific sword/shield sets (Divine Light and Palaka)
Fat Cat loungewear and shorts

a button to repair EVERYTHING at ONCE.

thats unexpected. the sound of several 'thats not possible' still sounds in my ears xD
but good thing. Good thing!

Am I blind or do we not get a single new hairstyle in this patch in-game?

I had thought they would bring out one each patch by now.
Not getting one while the mogstation receives the ones from the crossover leaves a pretty sour taste in my mouth, ngl.

Look forward to glamour unlock though...

I am still wondering why the graphics update has been so lacking in the patches.

They must be aiming for a massive graphics update in 7.5 or I wonder where all the promised patch updates are for it. It's always just a few categories of items such as relics, NPC outfits or mog station items.

"The confirmation prompt when extracting materia has been removed."
Oh my goddd...PLEASE please, remove more unnecessary prompts in the future.

Glamour unlock is huge obviously...

I think the uhm 5 stacks for duty support is nice for people who are struggling to clear with npcs...So more accessibility ? I feel like dying once in trusts = wipe is kinda meh.

Is the new FL mode going to be daily, running along the old ones? Or did I misunderstand?

The rotation of available campaigns has been changed.

BEFORE
Seal Rock (Seize)
↓
The Fields of Glory (Shatter)
↓
Onsal Hakair (Danshig Naadam)
↓
The Borderland Ruins (Secure)


AFTER
Seal Rock (Seize) / Worqor Chirteh (Triumph)
↓
The Fields of Glory (Shatter) / Worqor Chirteh (Triumph)
↓
Onsal Hakair (Danshig Naadam) / Worqor Chirteh (Triumph)
↓
The Borderland Ruins (Secure) / Worqor Chirteh (Triumph)

As someone who is working towards the Field Commander on my alt, this would actually suck...? Or maybe I'm missing the bigger picture.

This means you have the ability to queue either the proper older map of the day in the rotation, or Triumph. They tend to do something like this with every new Frontlines mode. It gives people a chance to grind out the achievement rewards of the new mode before it's relegated to only a once/twice a week ordeal.

So yes, this means it may be difficult to get into games of the older modes since most folks are going to go hard into the new mode. Unless Frotnlines roulette favors the old ones somehow, but I doubt it.

Yeah you're not the only one to notice. The section of items that were graphically updated seems pretty small for a four-month period. I can only guess that the same team was putting in work for all of the zones that came with this patch.
