well far as what they said,

people create materia by forming affection for an item

get some cataylysts that gathers will get

and bring it to a crafter to craft into the item, no chance of fail

so it looks like that part of the process will be gatherer exclusive, i think the idea is that all classes have some level of power in the materia junctioning process
