Materia System

[Peregrine]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. I'm not sure I've ever played a game where you purchased one set of gear ever for the life of your character. Can you clarify what you mean so that I can fully understand your point?

Instead of buying one Jade crook to use, now you end up buying one to use and five or six just to turn into materia. That is where crafters benefit. The consumption of the gear they make goes up six-tenfold.
