I just want to share with you that if I remember correctly, Yoshi-P mentionned somewhere that rare/ex items would no be able to receive materia, making it so that craftable gears + multiple materia will be more powerful than dropped gears. I will try to look where I read that and come back to edit this post.
I remember seeing this as well.

They could work with this though:
- Make U/U gear unable to attach materia but still able to spiritbond into materia
- This adds replay value to NMs, dungeons, etc (I believe this was mentioned earlier)
- This also prevents super OP U/U gear and fulfills the idea of "the best crafted gear is better than the best NM drops"
