Elemental Materia - Make it useful or do away with it.

Please make the elemental materias (Fire, Thunder, Ice, Water, Lightning) worth something for melding or please completely do away with them. At this point they serve no practical purpose, and are completely worthless, making the items obsolete.
This needs to be re worked.

buy the ~900 gill materia and meld them to what you are spirtbonding for faster bonds. i have a perfectly good use for them.

Currently, its only use is to meld to gear to increase spiritbond speed. However, there was talk at Tokyo Fanfest that the Elemental Materia may have a practical use for Black Mages in the future. Could be misinformed about that, but that's what it sounded like.

Yep, frustration. Gotta have that RNG junk option.

They are. :) Hopefully they will become more useful, how they were in 1.0!
