Materia System

[Rowyne]

You do know FF7 came before Diablo II which is where Blizzards socketing system came from and IIRC the DII team even said they came up with the idea from FF7.

Yes, I am aware of that. I am a 36-year-old old-school gamer. I fell in love with the Final Fantasy series when I first played FFVI (III-US) back on the SNES in 1994. It remains my favorite of the series, to this day.

I know the gaming timeline.

That doesn't change the fact that the new 'Materia' system sounds more like, what I said, a hybrid of WoW's enchanting and gem socketing system than FFVII's Materia system.

Shall I reiterate why it shouldn't use the name?
