Better Materia System

[Reika]

I believe they should nerf materia or buff gear. (I personally don't like materia at all and would rather see it gone but meh...)

Adding +16~40STR to a pair of gloves with +4 on them is ridiculous, its pretty much increasing the stats on items by up to 10 folds.

Materia now took over equipment and gear is judged entirely by the materia glued to it than by its actual stats, something unremarkable as normal quality Felt Bracers with enough materia on it becomes the "Best in slot" hand equipment is just unreasonable.

I've always thought this was one of the major problems with gear and materia too. crafted gear stats are all weak until you OP them with 1 or more pieces of materia. Tho in ARR supossedly materia wont make a piece of gear that much more powerful...
