have you ever played a final fantasy game? a square game? a japanese rpg, or hell even a japanese game? hmm have you ever played a game? they are not really about staying realistic. they are about having fun, doing crazy things and bad ass glowing weapons. chill out man if you dont wanna play or use materia or get an ifrit weapon then dont. we all understand you are unhappy with everything SE does but unless you are going to provide some good constructive criticism please just STOP
