It's on YouTube but it's Japanese, so someone on Reddit is translating the interesting parts. Maybe someone will post a full translation later:

So far:

Items
DL gear will be dyeable from 2.2 onwards together with the introduction of the Vanity system.
Relic +1 items have been renamed to Relic Zenith, because numbers are silly.
Materiga can be obtained from <i50 items. Chances of getting materiga have also been raised.
Skills
Curaga was buffed because not a lot of people were using it, and also because you'll find a lot of use for it when doing 2.1 content. It's extremely useful because it's a directed AOE heal, you'll be able to heal the tank together with all the melee DPSers at once.
Holy was nerfed because speedrunners placed a lot of pressure on White Mages to DPS. Healers are healers, not DPSers.
According to their numbers Summoners are still top DPS even with the removal of Thunder. They decided it was better to remove an additional skill rather than nerf Summoner DOTs.

Here's a google doc that's being updated: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J-giuL0gZb4LnRe9EbkKo5a_mXm9i3-yKtunp9yO0OE/edit

And, I don't know that a 40 potency reduction to holy is really going to slow up a speed run all that much.

YoshiP is saying it was set this way so players don’t buy out all the lands right away and end up in situation where none is available. RMT estimated gil has been removed from their amount, they checked how much gil the FC’s have and got the estimates.
with battle alone you should be able to earn 15000-18000, little bit over 20000 gil with role bonus every day. If you farm 7 days that’s good amount X number of members.
It’s set so players can buy in 3 month time.
He says again he will look at situation and make adjustments.

"Heal the tank and ALL the melee dpsers at once"

So we can heal the tank and one dps. Still skeptical.

With the extra range (2 extra yalms isn't huge but it's something) and the reduced cast time, plus the potential for it being half mana if the cure 2 additional effect procs, it'll be nice for when people are stacked up. I mean it's 250 more potency than a medica, so if people are stacked that's a hefty heal for the group.

And in t4 where sometimes swapping off a tank to hit the drg/mnk with a cure or regen is scary (depending on how things are going) I'll take the tank+dps even if it is just the melee dps. ADS, too, if it manages to hit a drg or mnk that'd be awesome.
