That is my point. It seems like they are but there is a chance they don't change the format and just give you the option to fight the Deviant Diablos in the special permit section while you are in G-rank. Honestly, who knows at this point. I guess we'll find out soon enough. Less than 2 months, and I'm sure there will be Famitsu info on G-rank before then (Feb.22nd)
