I didn't exactly EXPECT much, but I think having more "job packs" where we get an area with a corresponding unlockable job would've been nice at least. Though the quality of life changes like outings and the "Equip Stats Only" button shouldn't be understated.
Nope. You could still equip weapons and armor stats-only, but you had to equip the weapon/armor you wanted the stats of, then go into the "Stuff" menu and change the appearance manually
