Finally figured out a way to get the OST blu-ray tracks from the disc to my Mac!
I couldn't get the files from the disc to a USB stick inserted into the PS3, but the home network system did the job. It's just a matter of turning on Sharing in the Mac's System Preferences.
More details here:

It was a little confusing because my Mac had always been able to see files in my Vita without sharing being explicitly turned on. Once i turned Sharing on and loaded up 192.168.X.X (these last two being the local IP address of my PS3, which is displayed when you go to the "MP3 Download" menu while running the blu-ray, can be loaded up on the Mac's browser and the files will be saved to the Mac.
TL;DR: Make sure File Sharing is turned on. You can then move the files directly to the computer without ferrying them using a USB disc.

That should definitely help the RNG for Coil.

Looks like they did add in the WAR and PLD class mounts, tied to achievements.
Edit: Oh snap, added item list down at the bottom as well.

Looks like the Zodiak system for relics is already at work? There's two different versions of each iLvl 100 Relic, Relic Atma and Relic Atimus.
Also looks like Leviathan gives... two sets of weapons. i95 for Hard mode, i100 for Extreme. And the crafted/tome(?) weapon is both level 100 (Weathered Burtgang for Gladiator) and Level 110 (Burtgang), with Allagan 2 being ilvl 115.
...That's a lot of new weapons on the same level range for alternate stats, dang.

The "Weathered" stuff continues into all the equipment slots as well with weathered being 100, and non being 110, same as high allagan gear. Don't know if they are crafted since they are not listed in the new crafting recipes. I expect them to be the new token gear with a way to upgrade them. This would seem odd for the weapon though since before the Relic weapon filled that void, not just buying it outright.
Pretty sure that stuff is the new tome gear.
chances are the sands of time and oil of time are tome items needed for weapons to go to weathered and then to the i110 version which sounds like a huge time sink versus just a one-time cost per slot...
crafted gear is most likely the gear with names like wolfram and saurian under items crafters can make
wolfram
heavy wolfram
saurian of striking and aiming
cashmere of casting and healing
for thoroughness, tome gear would be
noct
astrum
gloam
auroral
daystar
evenstar
looks like moogle EM doesn't drop any equipment.

not gonna lie; from an equipment viewpoint I'm already feeling bored.

Yeah that is what I assumed, just odd to see the weapons appearing to be straight up tome gear as well. That is just assuming that everything that has a "weathered" version is the new tome gear though, but do belive that is a good assumption.
What would those weapons start as though? The relics have their own ilvl 100 versions. From doing the new primal every week? Or just straight from tomes like the weathered versions of all the gear you listed at the end.
Edit:
Yeah just looking at it and thinking that all that gear is just tome items and then upgraded from other tome items makes it all feel really tedious.
beats me. just doing a quick skim of the notes.
maybe sands of time will let us even equip weathered weapons (which sounds like the worst).
so you collect weathered gear, sands of time returns it to an equippable but still weathered state, and giving gerolt
or play your favorite game
the binding coil of RNG
if that's true I'm not seeing them in the patch notes.
I'm a little surprised that there was no class balancing (except for the Ingenuity skill... *shrugs* ).
Sadly, every single new weapons can't be crafted. Blacksmiths and carpenters won't have many useful new recipes, if you don't take furnishing into account.
Now, there are several new weapons that can be crafted with Alchemy (Giantsgall weapons), but since it doesn't seem we can actually wield those, I'll take a wild guess and say that they are necessary to unlock the new relic/Zodiac weapons.
And it doesn't seem the Gold Smith will be able to craft any new accessories either...

Thank goodness for that party sort feature, that is so needed, speaking as a healer.
400 level 50 dungeon clears needed for the tank mounts, 200 for each class. Goddamn we got screwed compared to CNJ mount. If it were lower I might be more willing to DF more for it, but 200? Screw that. What a ridiculous number, I would be really surprised if this actually motivates more people to tank for randoms.
The weathered Soldiery system is interesting. Hopefully the tome difference won't be too massive to what it was like with myth. I guess any way to mitigate RNG in Coil2 is good though.
Also lol@ the Leviathan HM weapon being 95(EX is 100). Twintania confirmed for vanity boss. I'm betting the i100 Ribbon necklace line of items are from Mog EX, as he doesn't appear to be doing weapons.

Oh those prism items are so simple to craft...I have some farming to do! Maybe my level 50 WVR will get some work.
I really want to do Leviathan EX...forever a EM Titan scrubcat.
I despise the mere mention of millioncorn, even if it's been around already.
Bara and Exelon will be busy.

I really really REALLY hope the tally counts runs from before the patch.
Did I see that right, STORY boss will drop the same iLevel weapon as Twintania? Seriously ...?
Seems kinda... idk... odd. The last story boss - moogle mog - dropped i75 stuff.

Ooh, with that Echo buff I will be able to say I beat Titan HM after getting wiped 3 times as a "strategy"

You can't have casuals working too hard for their stuff! They might unsub otherwise!

This only slightly bothers me since I haven't done copperbell mines hard yet and was hoping to get that for HLDR yesterday but I got PS again.
..Luckily that's the only one I've not had/done though so it's not too bad.
I think what it means is that if you have not completed Pharos Sirius once, then you won't get it in High Level Duty Roulette.
oh snap
Which is a HUGE boon! It means that places like Pharos won't be half as annoying when they come up on Roulette. Since you will always be paired with people who have completed the dungeon.
go to sleeeeep
The way I'm reading it is that you can't roulette unless you've completed all possible duties in the roulette.
