Today's News from JP world:
1)
Mog House Decoration Contest
Not even worth mentioning unless they officially bring it over to the NA side since we won't be able to enter otherwise. Basically they're asking people to decorate their mog house using one or more items from a list they provided, as well as whatever else you want. Post screenshot on forum, winners get prizes. They didn't announce an entry timeframe yet, I'm guessing we'll see a similar post on the NA side today, or else the contest probably isn't coming over here.

Regarding the Mog House Decoration Contest
Not really necessary to translate, more details/corrections to the original post... won't mean anything unless this winds up coming over to the NA side anyway.

Regarding the Accrual of Legion Points
If you kill the first three enemies in the four initial halls repeatedly, even though you will not be collecting many Legion Points, you will be able to repeat Hall of Mul several times later on. (It should be noted that the points obtained in Hall of Mul are higher because there is the condition that you need to collect the four medals first.)
Since there is really no end to Legion, the challenge is to get as far as you can in the given time. Since you get Legion Points from each kill, you can of course diligently save points across many runs, but it makes more sense to reward the achievements of groups that can progress further by giving larger amounts for each defeated monster. Therefore, what you're saying really is not an exaggeration and is meant to be the case.
Since this is high difficulty content, you may be struggling early on, and in some cases you still may not be rewarded as expected. However, because we do not want to change the general concept that progressing further increases the rewards, and we do not want to lower the difficulty of obtaining the rewards, you should focus on adjusting your strategy. (Part of this is utilizing the enchantment effect and Legion specific statistics on the available items.)
I think if you work hard with a good strategy, you will be more likely to achieve your goals.
