Looks like no game is safe from early patches and updates nowadays, not even the long-standing Kingdom Hearts series which is typically known for its polish. The 1.02 patch that launched in Japan today made adjustments to camera speed, shortcut button response, and the magic command display. Gameplay aspects such as reflect and cartwheel response times, Barrier Cracker cancellation time, and MP consumption were also "adjusted."
Square has seemingly avoided phrasing these changes as "improvements," but it obviously wouldn't update the software to make it worse intentionally (it's not Mozilla nor Windows). In any case, these changes come at the cost of making the game easier on higher difficulties.
On Proud Mode, you'll receive less damage than before the update, and Critical Mode has been updated to increase the amount of damage you inflict on enemies. "Enemy AI and parameters" have also been adjusted but aren't specifically detailed.
