Crafting in General - OMG Fix It

[Biggs]

I really like the materia name, who doesn't? But lets be honest here, if you're gonna throw around a name like that, you had best be prepared to back it up or risk cheapening your image. I don't mean this in a negative way, i love these ideas, but I don't want to see what many of us see as the staple system in the FF brand cheapened to be used as parlor tricks for a system that isn't implemented well. Don't just boost 1 or 2 points of dex or add plus 1 to evasion, give us something inspiring. When you call a system materia, it conjures up images of me infusing my breastplates with skills like permenant protect and shockspikes. Making my boots randomly have the chance to activate featherfoot at no stamina cost to me each time I am attacked would be the business. Lets see some skill and magic infusion! How about making it so I can pick out materia that would allow me to make my own theme armor. Maybe I want to make hands, feet, and chest pieces all boost me with evasion and speed style defenses. Or a mage set that protects me from physical attacks. The skys the limit, and I have complete faith in your teams abilities Yoshi, just be remember whats in a name sometimes drives up expectation.
