The real source of the 'issue' is that you have a lot of people WILLING and ABLE to pay 2M for this item. And given how easy it is to make Gil here, not that big of a surprise.

"Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it"
That doesn't mean SE shouldn't do something the at least even the field a little.

WHMs and MNKs get off easy. Manathirst and Mind materia are so common that you can buy dozens of their materia for the price of a single one that Paladin and Bard share.

If they split them and both still cost two million then oh well. But the price is exaserbated by the fact that two classes need it in addition to it having a desirable stat.
