QoL Suggestion: Re-Attempt Meld

If a meld is unsuccessful, it currently takes us back to the menu, where we have to re-select the item from the list, select the materia from the list, then blow through two warning prompts to try again. It is not uncommon to do this dozens of times in a row for the same meld.

It would be nice if when a meld is failed, so long as you still have the same materia and catalyst available in your inventory, that it gave a prompt asking, "re-attempt the same meld?" with the meld window in the background. If not that, at least keep the item and materia selections saved and bring us back to that point instead of square one.

YES! Do it please!

By the Twelve, why didn't I think of this earlier!
*thumbs up for this suggestion*

Becasue of this, it's faster to use the "Request Meld" feature and have someone else do the melds. You can re-queue the request while they are writhing in agony. My wife and I, both omnicrafters, do this for each other all the time when overmelding.

The OP's suggestion here also eliminates the chance of melding something wrong unintentionally. I'm not sure if everyone here has this experience before, but there was this one time that I selected a wrong materia after a string of continuous failed overmelds, and the wrong one actually melded in...

Yes please

Another suggestion to go along with yours. Have an auto-meld option, similar to the quick-synth method. The player can set the number of attempts, depending on the specific number of that materia and catalysts in the players inventory. Auto-meld will burn through that number of requested, and will stop once a meld succeeds.

Please!! I support this

Please! Please! Pretty Please! With ice cream too!

I need this in my life ._.

would be a nice addition op, agreed.

Take it a step further. Meld like quick synthesis with an option to stop on success. Enter how many you'd like to try. Get up, walk away, go do something more interesting than watching failing 50 times on a 7% meld.

But, if SE feels that is being "too nice", I'd take the OP suggestion. The navigating of the menu alone is such a PITA. When I have to meld anything below 20% chance, I move all my materia to a retainer, except that which I want to meld and use... whatever the "confirm" key is on my keyboard to just spam it until success. /yawn

Absolutely need this, doesn't mean that I like having failed melds, but this will cut some time.

And minimize human errors in itself.
