"Perks" would do soooo much for this game

I'd love to not depend on materia for all the gear, yet if you could remove materia and make it 100% success melding, then it would be a new thing D:!

Or making it like FFVII, when you get 5 stars of that materia, it replicates itself at 0 stars and so on...

I don't know, we just need more personalization here, having in mind that gear is temporary and will be useless after 6 months, so the "perks" should come from somewhere else and not be tied on the gear D:!

I pretty much like all the ideas on this topic, there are many ways to make it work on the actual expansion o,o
