Are melds and super gear really necessary?

If this is what they want to do, they could at least let some NMs drop some big rare materia

that would be awesome! People may camp NMs again. I sorta miss the competition from HNMs like in my 11 days.

I know... I'd really enjoy it...
What it boils down to is Materia is a great idea but the execution seems less than stellar... Which could be because the materia system we see now is still not finished... Just another example of SE releasing systems in micro-parts
I guess I could go by a car one part at a time.... But who does that?

Imagine if some NM had 1 materia that gave 50 int, 40 Magic Att, +50 Crit Rate and could only be melded onto a Maleficent Mogstaff (They'd just have to make that NM hard as crap)
Its all about Synergy SE
