But I can't help keep singing Arabian Nights when I think of Ul'Dah... I wouldn't want it to be a Jeuno. :<

Because it was the easiest to get to. That doesn't mean it's best to compound the issue of making two cities nearly dead by placing a mini-game casino in the most popular city.

You all would feel right at home working for World of Warcraft's city design team.

Official translation is up:

One very interesting point - Materia is no longer tied to specific slots, you can now add any materia to any item! However, there will be stat caps according to the item type and level (Naoki gives an example of max +5 str on some gloves) and items will now have a set amount of slots you can safely add materia to. Adding more materia beyond that will be risky like it was on 1.0 (chance of failure) however if you blow it, you only lose the materia now and not the item as well.

Really, really good changes :O

EDIT: Okay, some really cool updates on PvP.

So, basically you'll earn points by participating in matches which you can then use to buy PvP gear, but also SKILLS! One example he gave was a skill you can buy for Paladin that will have a different effect based on which GC you belong to - which I think is a great twist. Now I'm actually somewhat excited to try PvP out (the PUG armor he showed off was pretty sick).

So i wonder if the uber gear with the 3-4 level 4 tier materia items will be grand fathered in, or if they will be reduced to the max stat allowance... Probably reduced which would piss a few peeps off, lol...
