i remember there being a regain materia that would have a constant regain effect on your character. IN ff7 different weapons had a different amount of slots, lancer always having the most it think. You could move the materia from one weapon to the next. Now, in FFXIV when you equip materia i believe it becomes bound to the equipment and cant be removed and i think it cant not be traded either. Its been awhile since i read anything on and even longer since ive played ffvii. and for all the ff7 haters out there, if you actually played the game at release you'd know how awesome it was.
