New interview from Famitsu Connect-On Magazine Aug.2011

Thanks a lot for the translations Kristina, but please allow me to re-translate the quoted information above, as it seems giftforce has misunderstood the system.

In the quoted portion, it says:

"The Materia system will allow you to make the best gear, and for those interested in the best gear; the materia system is balanced in a way where attaching/adding materia to crafted gear will have better results then attaching them to NM dropped gear."

I apologize if my translation is not 100% correct, but it does literally say that Materia enhanced crafted gear will show better results then Materia enhanced NM dropped gear. Kristina also included this information " [materia buffed gear] > [NM dropped gear]" just not a word to word translation. So thank you again Kristina for the translations and the new information.

So all NM-dropped gear is useless?

Why have useless things? Pointless.

I don't consider my initial post as trolling or bitching, as i was trying to clear up what i assumed was a misunderstanding. I now realize the situation is similar to flipping a coin where the person complains whether its heads or tails. I apologies if you took my post to be provoking, i'll remove it. Next time you don't have to go to the trouble of logging into a different account to post, i'm pretty sure everyone who reads these forums already know which user names belong to the same person, having said that i also should of known better then to reply to you so i'll end my conversation with you here.

It just means NM gear will be less stronger than a fully grinded materia gear.
It's the same concept with NQ and HQ gear, u can spot an NQ gear or you can strive for HQ gear, however with materia the option is open for everyone, not only for crafter with high ranks or rich players.

its all about 'option', since community here bitch about everything and anything, so they need an aggro off and on icon to please both sides.
