Haha, yes indeed!
That's the reason I avoided materia melding any of my class-specific crafting gear, I thought, Particians may be ghastly to look at dyed Cactuar Green, but at least it'll save me upgrading soon!
Feel bad for the sods who penta melded all their individual kit if it does mean upgrading completely.

Here's hoping we get Moogle Pan and Saw.
