Tons and tons of changes. Really, it's worth reading. Lots of good stuff! Higher tome cap (450), tomes from low and high level Duty Roulette, new instances, the Aesthetician (which will be accessible in your inn room).. the major cities as a whole are now Sanctuaries, MOST classes got buffs, PvP itself looks interesting with the bonus skills, new Main Story quests.. so much stuff.
The only thing that REALLY upsets me is the ludicrous, stupid-high player housing costs. As has been said, only the richest could afford these, ESPECIALLY the high-end plots/sizes of plot.
It's like they want to force players to actually merge large clusters of FCs! That's what's gonna happen, you know. People are gonna make new Linkshells to represent what their FC used to be, all the while merging into massive organizations JUST to be able to pool resources for a house. 20 million for the cheapest, smallest plot of land on Balmung? 312 million for the biggest? What? I know some players are millionaires, and I'm happy for them... but even they would have to sink their entire fortunes (or close to it) to have the desired impact.
