I just finished all my crafts class quests and I find it in horrid taste that I have to spend 30K+ per class just to get a materia for the final quests.

It adds up.

I believe the goal for making us attached materia is to teach us how to attach materia, not obtain one.

You told us we can gather for ingredients, you told us we can grind monsters for ingredients, you told us to craft items we needed, you told us to use the market board.

There was also more than one way to obtain items we needed, but materia is not like that, there is 2 options, spirit-bond till we get what we need randomly or buy it and I feel like those are not the intentions for the quests.

So for future crafters doing their quests, just hand them the materia.
