As others have mentioned, are there any plans to expand on the current Materia System? I'm guessing it was brought back from VII because I'm pretty sure the materia system in VII is unanimously considered the best/favorite customization system in any FF.

But I feel it's implementation in XIV falls short of what it was in VII. I understand balance makes things harder, we can't have people running around with Counter-Deathblow and Mimic-Knight's of the Round. But it would be nice if they enhanced abilities, for example, if you could socket a materia that increased the amount of people a pld could use cover on at once.

Currently, as a PLD, if I can't put VIT materia on my gear, I'd just as well not waste the time/money on it and get the gear with higher VIT that you can't put materia into.
