Materia Pouch: Can we have it?

ITT : People still don't understand that adding tabs is nothing more than adding extra inventory.

If SE just wanted to give us more inventory slots, they would just do it. This game doesn't run on PS2, we could literally have 500+ items in our inventory if SE wanted to. So it has nothing to do with tabs or how things are organized. It's all about a game design decision, forcing players to manage items they own by imposing limits to them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is good or anything and I would like more room as well, then again we should just ask for extra inventory slots rather than bother with some fancy features. When you see how inventory is organized in ARR (at least from what we have seen), it looks like a classic bag feature like in WoW and such. What prevents SE for adding more bags? Nothing.

Didn't they also mention that materia in 2.0 would be less effective as it is in 1.0? Other then a materia tab, which would be nice only if there isn't a bajillion different materias. What I really hope for is home storage where i can store all my stuff. Also I'd love to be able to see what I can craft, attach to, a Quest item, or just NPC junk.
Also need better pag up/down when jumping through items going from my shield to my accessories is very silly when my other armour is 4-5 pages in between

Poet, out of curiostiy, were you going for triple tier IVs? or something smaller?

that depended on the types of materia i had. some were 3,3,4 some were 3,4,4 and some were 4,4,4. strength gloves for example i had tons of tier 3 and only limited tier 4's so it was mostly 3,3,4 there, but did make like 10 tries at 3,4,4 and 4,4,4.

Did you know that a 2, 3, 4 has an average success rate of 1/17? As long as you have top notch 2s and 3s for the meld, you can make a 2, 3, 4 that is as good as (or better than in some cases) a 3, 3, 4. Not to rub it in, but I went 1/1 on some 2, 3, 4 STR gloves for +41 STR.

Tonight or tomorrow, I'm going for 15 or so tries at a 3, 3, 4 on an hq kite shield for 154 or more HP. Wish me luck!

i only keep the top 2 tiers of the 3's and 4's. so like the strength i only kept the 13,15,18,20. the 2,3,4 combo can't beat a 3,3,4 using he higher tiers. it's like my double melded gloves. sure it's only double meld, but it is 2 perfect 20's so it's still +40 by itself. if you look at the triple meld the lowest i could have been was 13,13,18 to be +44, but it was usually 13,15,18 or 13,15,20.

But it can get close. a 10 + a 15 for the first two is 25, vs a 13 and a 13. so 1 less stat point for a much higher success rate is a great trade off. My goal with triple is always to make a better meld than you could possibly do with a double, and you can get there with a 2, 3, 4. It all depends on what you're aiming for. Plus those 20s are always extremely expensive. The 2, 3, 4 could be cheaper to make in the end than a double with two 20s. It also very much depends on what materia you're melding. HP is not a good candidate for a 2, 3, 4, for example.

We asked the item team about implementing a materia tab like the current shards/crystals/clusters tab but currently there are no plans to create this in A Realm Reborn.

So which PS3 game did you develop?

thanks for checking, but it's not a shock to hear they're not considering it since it would make common sense and we've come to understand that's not very common anymore.
