Never said I didn't like it.

Materia is a name, the materia system from VII won't be in XIV. They are bringing the name in to help bring the FF feeling into XIV.

The Materia system is simply a "crafting" system that lets you modify a weapon with stones to give you benefits. In FFVII it gave you skills, traits, and stat bonuses. Because skills are already granted by the weapon iteself and in the future jobs. Materia will simply give traits and stat bonuses maybe a few might give skills but that will be rare. Its the same system.
