I mean, change the stats to the existing materia so they have the bonus effects while removing the materia that are those effect from game.

so add pet resist to str, and remove pet resist from game as a drop.

do you ever convert gear to materia and get a resist, yea, it sucks. if they removed resist from game and added them onto materia as bonus effects then that wouldn't happen anymore.
It's an interesting idea, but they would have to go through another round of dated gear then, because people have already used the current materia we have on gear. Melded, double melded, etc. It wouldn't be equivalent anymore if they just dated that materia, and allowed gear with dated materia on it to remain existing.
