News for this week:
Since the thorough details for Equipment Skills was released, I was a bit concerned over how limited their access would be. Even if you had 4 skills on each accessory, and even weapon, that'd only be 16 skills, of the possible 50 plus Same/Elm/Union.
The news for this week is about [Normin Search].
Normin are these if you don't remember.

A familiar mechanic in many tales games is collecting certain NPCs, such as Wonder Chefs, or Cats. In Zestiria, these are the Normin, which is the character that hangs off of Edna's parasol. The official site states as an example that finding a [Defense] Normin will make accessories with this bonus drop more easily from monsters. The new information states that finding a Normin will unlock the Equipment Skill with the same name, allowing you to freely equip it.
It's possible that there are different Normin who do either of these things, the finding requirement may be different (i.e. you need to find a Normin twice), or both of these things will occur, so that you can freely equip certain skills while farming for some to spawn on items.
Other information includes that all of Edna's cooking items fall under the [Snacks] category. hnnngggg. This may indicate that the cooking system is not exactly like Xillia's, where you purchase the items and use them for an effect after battle for a set number of times.
