Materia system should be streamlined and based on FFVII.

I dunno about you, but I like the idea that every other piece of equipment you come across was player-made with time and effort put into them, and not just some drop from some mob that some DRK happened to kill repeatedly.

Exactly. While I would like to see improvements done to the system (mainly introducing ways to improve extra meld percentages) I wouldn't want it to stray too far from what it is now. It's just cool to see multi-melded gear and the benefits are massive.
