[dev1017] Materia crafting system & Materia: A Matter of Mystery (08/26/2011)

Materia system should be interesting
They really didn't explain one part which I was wondering about
If making materia from a gear/weapon with materia already attached would the end result be still be same as the same gear without materia? or since we have this new info would it increase the chance of giving the higher end materia.

Don't think reps answered that one yet, I know you can make the gear/weapon with materia into materia but no info on if materia is going to be exact same or better/worse.

I think it would be the same as the gear without the materia, otherwise you'd start getting obnoxious +999999 in everything materia eventually. For balance reasons I think when you convert gear to materia, it'll only take the gear's base stats into account. Increased chance of higher end materia would be interesting but then you'd get people who feel you have to have 5 materia in an item before you convert it.
