D'oh I patched 2.5 to my USA iso. It definitely works. I haven't play mission 4 yet, but these are the things I noticed after wasting 5 hours this week:
Two Chocobos in a random encounter- They spam Choco Cure and Esuna (revives enemies)
Difficulty is up like nuts even if early missions should be relatively easy. (I'm at level 14).
Move +2 and stuff are still there, but it's okay.
Great patch, and it looks like its working as it should. Edit: Decrypted my save, but noticed save works regardless of region.
