Yeah, I'm not completely done (although I must be closing in on the end), and it was pretty damn great. Also the music is just top notch.

Did they change something about character and NPC load in? I dont appear to be lagging and even on my home rig, if I load into an area too quickly - it takes 15-30 seconds for everyone to pop. (or is it just because everywhere I go there is at least 30 people minimum?)

The servers are just loaded because of everyone logging into the new patch and tons of people are all standing in the same area.
Ya, more Nier music and more Nier game cameos. Fights are decently difficult until you figure out some of the new mechanics they tossed in there (1st boss has a couple new ones)

Max Penta melded my crafting gear as this will be enough to start 6.0. Need very few HQ materials to 100% HQ. It needs a lot of Craftmans Cunning V materia which havent been needed for years so get to the boards and just buy hundreds of that now before folk become aware of it. Craftmanship is not needed anywhere near as high as I have it, it could be a couple hundred lower - just max out Control so buy lots of Craftsmans Command VIII. If you want to make a killing buy those two materias all week and sell them this Saturday and Sunday. Not sure how much scrips it costs to buy those Vs so maybe consider that.
The new Gathering tools are needed to gather the new Tender Dill and Brashgold Ore but the Gathering left and right side gear is totally unnecessary so give that a miss for now.

Eh? I can 100% NQ them fine w/o the new tools and still have a 12% base HQ chance.

Yes, they trimmed down the ARR MSQ this patch. Some quests were outright removed and some were streamlined so they are more time efficient. I think they also give you some Waking Sand teleport tickets at points so you can get back to the base more quickly.

You don't actually need new tools for the Dill or Brashgold at all, I was 100% gather/14% HQ basically from the jump. The Cunning V's are 200 yellow scrips, so with the new set collectables at max you're getting like 198 a turn in so almost 1 to 1. They were already up to like 12 or 13k apiece on the market boards on Gilg so you better hope you're on a slower server. Honestly I've barely seen a bump on stuff like Control VII's or VIII's certainly nothing like I was able to sell them for back in 5.05 or 5.1 (up to 75k for VII's and 400k for VIII's back then).
It's still pretty much syrups for yellow scrips as most efficient, especially since anyone who has been using it all expansion already should have a stockpile of the mats which are the exact same save it's 2 waters rather than 1. Not really sure what the best white scrip will be, probably depends on crystal prices, the cooking one doesn't look bad. I had a stockpile of mats for the BSM/ARM ones so was using those to get my sublime solution stockpiles.
Have my full crafting set, everything pentamelded but some of the tools I'm not quite done with. 6 button macro for syrup, 8 button macro for white scrip. It's nice. I do agree 2801 is probably too high for crafting, my specialists are 2772 craft/2831 control, and I've seen other sets where they go for 2850 control just full out, but I assume we'll need some minimum craft value for the eventual 4 star combat sets.
My bad, I wasn't clear. I was talking about from the fresh 80 set of Dwarven Cotton/Swallowskin/Lignum Vitae acc. All you need for the 5.3 gathering materials is that fresh 80 gear with 5.3 main hand and offhand.

So far, I think they have done a good job with this trial. I had forgotten just how beautiful the looks and sounds. I love the FF classes as well. I'll probably start doing a little instancing tomorrow and see how that goes. It's just been so long, I can't remember how it was when I played it last to now. Our WoW guild is definitely in a lull period until Pre-Patch and this is going to be a great filler until then. I wish it was more popular amongst my circle of gamer friends but it never really caught on with the exception of a handful of us.

The MSQ for this patch was pretty great. The new crafting recipes will keep me busy for a goodly while because I have to up my DOH and DOL ilevels quite a bit. Not sure where the battle classes will end up, but if the progression stays the same it should get up to 540 by 5.55. ARR was 130, HW was 270, SB was 400. My alt did POTD 1-50 in a pug, so that was some shit.

Should be 530, goes up 30ilvl per tier and we're at 500. Weapon will be 5ilvl higher as generally is the case. I think we might go another expansion without the need for a stat squish which is nice. Numbers are getting pretty high but it's not too crazy just yet.

MSQ was fucking great yeah. Loved the send-off from the people of the First.
Unlocked the second Nier raid last night, didn't see that twist coming either.
Now I'm just sad we'll be getting back to Zenos and his new crazy ascian fuckboy. I've never found Zenos interesting, he should have been done after Stormblood.

Ya, Xenos isn’t very interesting. “I love the WoL, I want to kill the WoL because everyone isn’t on my level”. Rando Ascians also aren’t as interesting, although technically none can be created anymore.
Seems the obvious road is next patch takes us to civil war Garlemond or close to that anyways. Hopefully they introduce some new characters that might make a good foil, like how they introduced Emet at end of SB.
