    People are probably gonna be pissed for me reviving this thread lol but anyways. I actually never paid attention to the description of my Valor Surcoat post-update since I had this piece for a long time, but I noticed they changed the description.

    Valor Surcoat now reads Augments "Cover" while stuff like Melee Gloves, Saotome Kote still reads "Enhances". Could just be SE bad wording stuff again like they did on a few drg pieces which confused a few players at the beginning(wyvern:etc). The only thing I can see why they would go through the hassle of changing the way it's read is maybe for the fact Valor body adds a whole new feature to Cover (converting 20% of damage taken into MP) that never existed initially, while as for something like Saotome Kote, is just improving an already existing characteristic. (hence, more TP from meditate).

    Anyways, just decided to post because it's one thing to make a new description for new stuff, but going out of your way to change already existing items description is another. Also reminds me of how they "just added" an aftermath icon for the Zilart Weapons.

    SE stated that this was the reason for the change themselves.

    The help text for the following items has been changed to alleviate confusion:
    Beast Jackcoat / Beast Jackcoat +1 / Valor Surcoat / Valor Surcoat +1 / Monster Jackcoat / Monster Jackcoat +1 / Monster Gloves / Monster Gloves +1 / Saotome Haidate / Saotome Haidate +1
    * "Augment" refers to the addition of extra effects.

    Drama's run its course and the subject is settled, so I think we can wrap this thread up.
