Should be working on the large files, but that's boring, so let's look at the prepatch files!
New partner cards: Klotho, Jozsef, Barbara(!), Revelle.
New key item: Level Cap Raise III (so that's coming soonish).
New NPCs: Notburga (magic stone exchange attendant), Roc, [Young Person], a few numbered NPCs (tres, quattuor), [Twin - Boy], [Twin - Girl]
Enemies: Sent Rappy, Dahgash Nero (remember this in the large icons?), another Falz Hunar story variant (still named Falz Hunar), Falz Arm, Dark Falz Elder, two story variants of Hadred's base monster type (unnamed), a rare version (unnamed), and the mantis warriors are now named "Predicahda", "Dicahda", and "Predicahda Nero" (rare).
Premium medical drinks: Weakness (element, I think) damage up, rare droprate up, meseta droprate up, PP regen rate up, Experience gain up.
New item affixes: Photon Collect, Klohm Soul (description file's not on the prepatcher yet).
Rare maps: Teleporter, location name are present (presumably function like the PSP2 ones).
New area: Arks Ship Wreckage - Deck (darkernest, presumably)
Weapon avatars: Halfway present (presumably these let you change the look of your weapon)--the subcategories for player shops exist, but not the main category yet.
New quest type: Advance Quest (probably those capped ones)
The big thing: item abilities. List follows, each goes up to 5, only one listed per. Many are named internally based on class skills (numbers appear to match), so I'll list those alongside them. Note that in many situations, these are
not the name's translation, so don't expect them to be the same in the patch when it appears.

EDIT: Right, forgot advance quests. Shame the actual quest list is in the wrong half of the patch, so I don't have it yet...
EDIT 2:
New large icons. Small icons are, again, in the other half of the patch. Note that map 12 is the area in the previews (Darker Nest), 13 is Arks Ship Wreckage - Deck (Dark Falz Seal, I believe).
EDIT 3: If you downloaded the icons, redownload, I'd somehow lost the two enemy icons (0314 is a Falz Arm, 0315 may be Elder).
