I've said it many times that I think the materia system is the worst thing to be added to this game.

They definately need to address the fact that U/U gear is lesser than craftable due to being able to meld it.

They should go back and rebalance the materia and U/U gear IMO, otherwise people won't bother retrying content after several wins.

Whilst they are rebalancing materia they should try and consolidate the tiers also as there are far too many.
