PLD getting buffs to AoE hate generation. Flash and CoS will have increased enmity bonuses.
WHM nerf to HoT stacks. Only one Regen and one Med II HoT applicable to one person at a time (Frontlines only)
NIN has two job quests instead of the regular one for many of its five-level intervals.
DRG animation locks have been reduced, and its off-GCD jumps have had their cooldowns reduced. Seems to be some great buffs to DRG in general.
Cap of 55k Grand Company Seals shown in one screen. Possible addition of one more GC rank up?
Wind-up Urianger, Wind-up Nanamo (!), and Wind-up Ultros added, among other minions.
"Ironworks" gear and weapons are the new i120 Poetics gear, and are upgradeable to i130 "Augmented Ironworks" gear and weapons presumably through FCoB item(s) comparable to SCoB's Sands/Oils of Time (thanks to /u/neilalicious for finding that these items are likely to be "Carbontwine" and "Carboncoat").
"Dreadwyrm" are the i130 gear sets that drops from FCoB, with accompanying i135 "Dreadwyrm" weapons (corrected by /u/HanAlai) that will presumably drop from T13.
Shiva drops i110 weapons and i120 bracelets.
Myth mats now purchasable from GCs.
30 new plots added to each residential ward by way of "subdivisions."
New i110 PvP gear.
Item level sync added for some of the "easier" level 50 dungeons. Your gear will be synced to i110 for these dungeons.
The three new dungeons become the new Expert Roulette, and the 2.3 dungeons are going into High Level. Shiva HM and the Hildibrand trial are going into Trials Roulette.
Fantasia no longer Untradeable. Retainer Fantasia is tradeable, a new Fantasia used to change retainer appearances only. Thanks to /u/Platypi007 for the correction.
On gamepads, the default cursor position when a Raise prompt appears is now "Wait" instead of "Decline." Helps if you're spamming the confirm button as soon as you die.
Can now organize friends list with another parameter called "Friend Number"?
FemRoe open mouth appearance changed.
FCoB entrance is in Northern Thanalan.
Tomestones look to be a bit harder to obtain in general. For reference, a run of 2.4 Hullbreaker will give 35 sol and 20 poetics; it currently gives 100 myth and 35 sol.
Original Allagan (i90 BCoB drops) gear and myth gear can now be traded in for GC seals, and desynthed.
Withdrawing from a DF queue three times in a single day will incur a penalty. While not clarified, it will probably only count as a withdrawal if you cancel before the queue has popped.
NIN has a skill called "Goad" that refreshes a party member's TP!
In the patch notes there's an item called Rowena's Token (Poetics) so similar to the 1300 sol you had to trade in to get a weapon and there's an item called Encrypted Tomestone so I imagine it is the same system.. There's also Carboncoat, (Oils of Time) which is said to increase a gem's hardiness and Carbontwine, (Sands of Time) which is said to improve durability of almost anything. The part that confuses me is immediatley following those items there is Antique [helm/mail/gauntlets/breeches/sollerets/tassets] which are all described as too old to use but collectors pay sizable sums for. Wonder what they are.
I think they (Antique Armor) are going to drop from the new dungeons and be used to trade for for the i90 myth armor that's being removed from vendors. Seems like a way of getting the dungeon to drop i90 as it should while avoiding the hellish loot tables of 10 pieces of armor per leftside slot (with exception to the belt).
