[DEV] Materia mistake ? ?!

I don't see what flaw I am excusing it with.

Barring Power Levelling, the speed of leveling prior to 31 is still quite fast enough. I wasn't even thinking of power levelling, as for that one doesn't even bother with any gear prior to their 30s.

Also, don't forget that content prior to endgame is not balanced around materia-enhanced gear, and thus nobody is expected to have enhanced gear. This explains both the very small values of materia stats you can feasibly obtain at lower levels, as well as the higher tendency to materia enhance everything after 41.

Obviously the fact they used the common sense he said they lacked. Since as you stated, 41+ is where most people spend most of their leveling time as well as the where pretty much any gear worth using for the longest that wasn't purely u/u is in the 41+ range, especially during the 'optimal' stage of gear.

He's not here to listen to reason Noctis, he's here to question SE's design for no reason.
