So what to lvl 90 gear SB into? The same stuff that lvl 70 gear does? Looking at the post which has a JP translation, "system updates related to materia" means just that.

What high-grade materia actually is, I guess we find out on our own.

Tier 5? You know, since we had the tier 5 carbon matter since launch.

But your comment has nothing do with what she said in her post. At all. So you didn't misread, you just responded completely randomly?

I heard that on the french release notes page it's explained as combining 5 materia to get a higher grade one.

. . . Kinda glad I create all my materia myself because this is really going to make the lower-tier materia hard to come by on the market board and we do still need those for penta-melding. Overall a welcome change, though, and something to do with all the unwanted materia sloshing around in our FC chest.

Well, jokes aside, elemental materia should get a use in the future.

I like the idea of changing overmelding to a system which enables you to influence the outcome and reduce the pure RNG factor.
And I also agree that the stat caps should be visible when you select an item in the melding window.


Off topic:
And why do people always come up with the argument that crafters will always be needed to craft gear for materia conversion and to meld materia?
Why become a master crafter if all you do is meld materia and craft 0-star gear?

Master crafters also craft vanity gear ^^

Game is back online I heard. Still at work so did anybody already do the quest and can tell us how it works? Can you choose the Materia you will receive? Or is it just a RNG upgrade +1, for example take 5x Materia I and receive a random Materia II for it or use 5x Materia III to receive a random Materia IV?

I have only tried it 3 times, but it seems to give you a random materia from ANY of the same tier

So 5 materia I's gives a random materia I, 5 materia IV's give a materia IV
