I'd like to see rare/ex that can be enhanced with materia, but not rare/ex that can be turned into materia. Reason being: If the gear can not be sold / traded then neither should the materia from it.

If r/ex gear carried more slots than normal gear, it would balance things out. I know SE said we can fuse up to 5 materia into an item, but is that for all items or does it vary?
