Orange Materia

[Doho]

Huah! Good God. What is it good for? Absolutely NOTHING.

No, but seriously. Does anyone actually use Orange Materia or is it just widely acknowledged as useless? Could there be any plans for it in the future, possibly increasing the types of armor it can be melded to. Hell, if jewelry could be melded I might be inclined to slide some heavy resist on a ring or two.

Mmmm, citrus flavored...

They are good for reducing the number of available inventory spaces you have. Actually, they are great for that!


Jk, they do have one real use; they are great for using to get your gamblers crown so that you don't have to use a bunch of expensive materia for it.

since almost no mob use debuffs that really affect gameplay i dont think that the materia is useful now. i bet when we get more debuffs and they actually become worth using, we will get mobs that aslo use them and we will need to build a strategy around resisting a certain debuff. in 11 for instance you would have a fire resist set or a slow resist set or a sleep resist set for certain bosses. now everything is kinda still zerg fest so having those resist sets isnt worth it

Game has devolved into a DPS fest having a tactical advantage like resist vs slow is pointless because the two monsters in the game that inflic the status on you can

1. Be dodged
2. be killed before they even think about using a TP move.

could be very useful in pvp

Lots of mobs use debuffs, lots also have attacks that have additional effects of certain debuffs. The thing is, mobs die so quickly you almost never see it.

Link approaches chest. chest creaks up slowly.
