Has the question of how many people have cleared T9 vs. obtained Novus ever been...

[Taruranto]

Turn 9 weapons are definitely a lot cheaper than Novus... >___>

I don't see how a "casual" could ever afford to meld all the materia. I've heard it costing 8-12mil gil for a det/crit novus. My BLM one is at 60/75 and I just have little desire at this point to finish it when DET IVs are 600k each. My DRG one is at 25/75 and will be staying there indefinitely because @$^%! that!

So, to me, getting a T9 weapon is less painful than having to rely on RNG and cry everytime a meld fails.

You don't have to use for level IV Materia. Also, what are you using your girl for?

I don't "have" to use IV materia, but the perfectionist in me won't allow otherwise, so I'll just wait and hope prices eventually go down. I'm in no rush. I'm doing novus because I know it'll keep upgrading as time goes on and I don't want to miss out on that content. I don't need it as a weapon, I just want to have a nice glowy thing.

What am I using my gil for? I have a wedding to save for! Also, I am no where near having 8mil gil, so it's not a matter of being stingy, I'm just poor lol.
