• To prevent the manipulation of matchmaking, a ranked match penalty has been instated. Players will incur a penalty by withdrawing when a match has been found or in the middle of a match. Players so penalized will be unable to register again for 30 minutes after their first penalty, 90 minutes after their second, or 180 minutes after their third.
• Withdrawing When a Match is Found: A penalty will be incurred starting from the first time a player withdraws. The penalty is only applicable to registration for ranked matches and will not affect the Duty Finder.

  * Players who remain in the match with less than the required number of combatants will not receive a penalty for abandoning the match.
• Season Two will end and Season Three will begin: When the season ends, the top 100 ranking players from each data center will receive vouchers via the moogle delivery service. Players finishing in Bronze tier or higher can claim rewards by speaking with the Feast Quartermaster at the Wolves' Den Pier (X:4.9 Y:5.7).
  * Tier rewards for Season Two must be claimed before the end of Season Three.
  Following the addition of demotions and adjustments to matchmaking in Season Three, all tiered players will begin the season at Bronze 3 with zero Risers.
  * Players who were untiered at the end of Season Two will remain untiered at the start of Season Three.
• Beginning with Season Three, players will compete for rankings based on their highest achieved tier and Crystal Credit score during the season rather than their final standings. Tier rewards will also be based on the highest achieved tier during the season.
• Players will now receive portraits, achievements, and titles for all tiers and ranks up to and including their final standings at the end of the season.
  * The portrait, achievement, and title rewards for all tiers and ranks up to and including the final standings of players in Season One will be unlocked automatically.
