I'm very cautious about the materia discussions as well. I'm slightly disappointed with the cash-shop gear and hairstyles, too...

I am very glad about primal minions, however! They look super cute. But, in regards to primals, I wish they would complete the chocobo barding sets with ALL primals. We start at Leviathan all the way through to Bismarck, but we have yet to see barding for Ifrit, Titan and Garuda! That frustrates me a little.
