Materia and the Past/Future

[Viridiana]

I think they've already explained what exactly it will be. <snip>

I only have one problem with this post. Way back when they first started developing the system, didn't they say they wanted it to balance (somewhat) demand between NQ and +3 gear? As much as I agree with your post, if this is their goal, what you suggest would only do the opposite.

That said, I do agree that better (or just rarer, for that matter) gear should have better materia. . .
