Note on Balance Changes : Items in the Balance Changes section come from the latest Live Letter, and while these were stated explicitly, it was under comment that the specifics are still in flux, so some may be added or removed as they feel the need. Some of these also vary on translation between Reinhart's translation and the official translation.

Note on FC Housing Locations : There are conflicting sources on whether this will be Limsa Lominsa's housing area only, or all three housing areas.
