A11: Basically, there won't be too many changes. In the current version, there are fluctuations in the resulting stats for materia, but in ARR these fluctuations will be removed. The rate for multiple melding will be higher than it is currently, and the materia system as a whole will be made more casual.
LOL @ everyone who spent several hundred thousand (if not millions) of gil extra to get that 1 additional Enmity on higher-tier Touch of Rage Materia IV when they're all going to be rounded to the same values.

Oh. Crap.
