I mean, what they say is "new abjurations and hexed equipment will be added" and "ways to modify existing hexed equipment".
They never really hint at the cursed sets beyond the image on the post, so I really don't think they're part of it. I'd love to be proven wrong, though :)
And now they're just saying "Abjuration gear" instead of "hexed".
Which is awesome! I'm totally okay being proven wrong on this :)

what is so special about cursed gears?, it may have some extra boost of side grade when it came out but the game have transformed to ilvl stat vomit and now skirmish gear already gave you those unique customization on each slot.

For one thing, some of them have different job sets (crimson gear comes to mind).
They might have different caps, or different augments (Dalmatica could get Quick Magic, for instance). We can't really know how good it'll be until it's released, but when has more content been a bad thing?

And not to be repetitive, but VW/Legion abjurations are awesome looking!
Which I guess with lockstyle now it's not so important, however it's really nice to see cool designs actually being relevant as well.

It's easy to forget that Spurrina Gages were best-in-slot for SMN even after ilevel was released. It wasn't until Helios came out with BP DMG+7, Pet MAB+30 and Crit Hit+4% did the Gages finally become obsolete.
And unless I'm mistaken, Spurrina Coif is best-in-slot for the jobs that can wear it in terms of a Refresh 2 head piece.
EDIT: Not all jobs that can wear it. I think BLM, SCH etc it's still the best Refresh +2 head armor.

Another noteworthy piece is Kaiser Schaller. By todays numbers the augments on it went up to Shield Mastery +30.

Augment on Blood Scale Mail is STR+6 Acc+9 and Haste 3%
Augment on Dalmatica+1 is Quickcast 3% FC+5 and MDB+2
Augment on Blood cuisses is FC+5 Vit+4 and Eva+4
And the list goes on.
From my understanding it will get ilvl'ed and prolly HQ > NQ like it did with Augments. Only SE knows what boosts they will recieve at this time but i am sure excited to find it out, since when those augments been relevant it was allways a nice addition to have them in my arsenal. Macro piece or not.
Edit: Upgraded Byakkos Haidate makes me sooo curious.
Edit2: And i also think Blood Head is the only head for COR with Quickdraw delay - on it when augmented? Iunno. Just leaving it here also.

Byakko's Haidate was never cursed gear though, that was a direct drop.
I'll just be happy to have ilvl stats(not be a rag doll) when wearing Blood Cuisses and Spurrina Coif.

Im kinda worried about the wording... It sounds like only the old abj. and not gear will be used. I hope its a mistranslation.

Quote: If we were to add throwing skill to blue mage, the skill level would not be very high, and it would not result in a significant difference.
In regards to the job trait Snap Shot, this becomes effective when you use throwing weapons.
The overall decision to give blue mage throwing weapons was so that they could pull enemies and guide them to their desired location.
Quote: Greetings,
We have determined that players will become stuck if they enter a Mog Garden with an invitation and log out without changing areas. In this case, as reported by Devilishangel, you will need to contact a GM and request to be moved from the area you are stuck in.
This bug does not occur if you've completed the Mog Garden tutorial.
This issue has already been addressed, and we will be fixing it in the August version update. We apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.
Quote: The skill values for chocobo digging are stored differently than other skills, therefore it will not be possible to display the skill value. It may be possible to have an NPC share this information, but we can’t promise this will be implemented.
Quote:
We can't promise that we can create a system that will allow the storage of Rem’s Tale chapters, but we'll look into this.
Quote: Luzaf is a character that possesses his own style, so we'll look into this, but it might be difficult to have him use pet based rolls. However, we'll be looking into adjusting Qultada so that they use pet based rolls.
Thanks for the feedback!
Quote: Koru-Moru was intentionally designed to not casting Refresh on blue mages.
There are a couple of reasons for the decision.
Blue mage can cast Battery Charge on themselves, which is already a large boon to blue mage MP management.
When playing blue mage a lot of time is spent monitoring your own MP.
If there are more targets that require Refresh, it’ll make it increasingly more difficult for Koru-Moru to support other party members, and this might result in braking one of his main roles in battle where he casts strong enfeebling spells.

Quote: A new quest will be added to Seekers of Adoulin.
The final, concluding chapter in the "No Laughing Matter" storyline sees Tarutaru Sauce come face-to-face with a familiar threat.

A few require to be past certain missions.
But most are just behind fame barriers.

Quote: Using the feedback we received in regards to coalitions, we're looking into adjustments that'll either make it easier to rank up, or make it harder to rank down.
We're currently working out the amount of resources it will require to make these adjustments, so we ask for your patience a bit longer before we announce the adjustment details.

Hi.
Dev tracker is a kind of feed in Official Forum that highlight (in the left side bar) posts from development team to players demands, questions and sugestion. Given that those answers are given by someone who effectively works with the deveopment of this game, they can be considered as official and true.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php
The japanese side of OF has its own dev tracker, that normally is way more active and detailed than english side. If someone feel like translating it to bring the info, feel welcomed too.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15480698
BG site has one specific topic just to publish and discuss those official answers, and i think ffxiah lacks something similar as not everyone here check BG or OF, so lots of details/dev opinion are missed. So, thats the point of this topic, anyone who see new info in dev tracker feeds, quote it here, and start a discussion if you feel like.
Starting now, a couple of new dev posts were released after march update annoucement. Here they are:
Trust changes
Quote: [dev1261] Alter Ego Adjustments
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following content.
Walk of Echoes
Wanted battles
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following mission battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess missions
When Wills Collide / Maiden of the Dusk
It will be possible to summon alter egos for the following quest battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess quests
Champion of the Dawn / The Dawn Also Rises / A Forbidden Reunion
-----
Dev answer to a sugestion to add new ways to obtain dusk type of alluvion skirmish stone.
Quote: Since dusk-type stones were just implemented, we'd like players to do alluvion skirmishes to obtain them, so there are no plans to add the ability to trade other items for these stones at the moment.
However, we'll look into increasing the amount in circulation and the means of obtaining them in some way in a future version update.
Monster rearing news:
Quote: [dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments
Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.
The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.
Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.
Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.
The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.
Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.
Sugestion about blu traits having aditional tier info.
Quote: This is something that is difficult for us to address at the moment as we would have to send data each time you open the menu to see which tier you currently have. We're concerned about this largely affecting UI response time.
Similarly the same holds true for saving the data client-side as well. Since all of the trait data for this would have to be saved, it would consume large amounts of memory, which also makes this feature difficult to implement.
