User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 416: Tartarus Arc: Final Part, Review and Commentary/@comment-24102956-20150119175018

If this is gonna be a timeskip, I'm gonna expect some major character appearance changes on everyone in Fairy Tail and awesome improvements of their Magics and abilities. It's bad enough to see them look the same and their power levels to be weak to those who trained for 7 years, only boosted by nakama pawa in the seven year timeskip in Tenrou Island arc.
