Materia System

[Sparker]

it makes perfect sense that you lose the weapon. If you havent noticed there is a flood of equipment and weapons. This will help 'consume' the mass supply.

If you dont want to lose your HQ weapon then dont turn it into materia

It doesn't make perfect sense. People are reading too much into this.

"By using the armor and weapons that you equip yourself with, you will generate "attachment points"* and when your attachment points reach 100% you will be able to convert them("them" means the points you've earned, not the gear) into "materia." This is known as "materia conversion." "Materia" is a crystallized form of the weapon and armor’s stats (Stats from the weapon, not the weapon itself) that the player has used and formed an attachment to. "
