    Forbidden Materia

    This "Dark Side" of materia crafting is said to be the most powerful, but will come at a cost.

    So what will the cost be?
    What are we able to sacrifice?
    Gil? Time? Gear? Anima? Guardian's Aspect?
    Perhaps none of those but it may be a different kind of sacrifice.

    When they use terms like "Dark" or "Forbidden" to describe this materia enhanced gear it brings to mind Cursed Armor. Armor or weapons with a soul of their own, that uses the possessor as a host to carry out it's dark wishes.

    So it may be that this Dark Materia Gear may take your body in some way.
    It could possibly:
    Slowly drain your HP or MP
    Increase your enmity
    Have a very low durability

    Or my personal favorite, the price of wearing this evil gear is your body itself.
    Once crafted you will not be able to remove the armor from your body.
    In a game designed for variability, you pay the ultimate price of having no choice.
    So not only can you not change your gear, but you will also not be able to change your class.

    That is, until you pay for the "evil" materia to be "purged" from you.

    If you fail to succeed the Forbidden Materia ritual, you lose your character permanently.

    Just like Salem MMO, they have perma death PvP.

    I really hope they dont use this as a way to limit crafters to specializing in one craft. As a person with 7 almost 8(cooking at 47) crafts I would like to be able to do anything available crafting wise all on one character.

    I have 8 crafts at 50. All I did was watch T.V. and spam standard for easy mode synths. Enjoy leveling those crafts in 1.19 and beyond everyone!

    Enjoy it while it lasts, they've already said they're going to be limiting characters to be able to further one or two crafts exclusively in the future, in some shape or form.

    Yawn at the casual remarks, the fact that she/he wasn't even serious cements this as a pretty lame remark. No, I don't play 6 hours a day like you do. Does that mean I have a different preference in play style aside from in volume? I wouldn't say so.

    In the context of this whole little joke, I'd say 'casuals' would be more accepting because they don't see their characters as important to their lives, like someone who invests an excessive amount of time probably would.

    Do you have a link to this. I would like to see where they say for sure they will be limiting it.

    They didn't. Famitsu asked if they were going to, they didn't say yes or no.
