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

Unless there is a reason to make HQ items into materia.

I really need to find this reference. I recall reading (from a dev source) that HQ items would have no advantage when converted to materia, compared to the NQ version of the item.

Finally tracked down the link: here

Key portion, direct from Yoshi-P (well, with Bayohne translating it):

When turning weapons/armor into materia, it will not matter if the weapon/armor is HQ or not.

In another tread we already determined that quote means that you turn NQ or HQ into materia, it doesn't state that materia made from HQ items will be lower, the same, or higher than materia made from NQ items. So we have to wait for more info on that.
