I see bunch of crafters crying how this would simply ruin the game. Get over yourselves. I tried crafting and absolutely hate it. My playtime is limited enough as it is and I don't need to be spending hours on hours grinding out something completely unenjoyable to me. Let's add, you don't even have to be ON your crafter to meld or repair. This is simply about convenience. If that makes you seem that it would somehow ruin the game I think you'll find 2 camps here: those who live to craft and don't want ANYTHING taken from them....and those who abhor crafting that just want to socket their materia and get on with playing the game.
