New System Involving Materia

[Thaliss]

No information, already announced in previous live letter that materia system will be reviewed.

We can speculate as much as we want.
@Remus : maybe once your End game gear reaches 100% spiritbond you will have the option to attach a materia. then it resets and you have to spirit bond again to 100 % for another

One fun thing would be resistance materia allowed on Endgame gear. Prices would skyrocket

That is a really really good idea. Would give more reason to grind, and its a repeatable grind where you can actually see a % increase as you go. Though I think they would need to cap it @ 2 materia per item slot.

Either cap it, slow SB down on a non-linear progressive curve for each materia added, straight up make the success chance lower per successive materia, or put in a simple system of diminishing returns after 2 materia per item slot: IE X Material gives 5% bonus, but if it's the 3rd Materia on the item it only gives 3.5% or something (all numbers are just BS and used for effect).

What about materia merging? Like 5 lvl 3 materia to make a lvl 4 of the same kind and so on?

Please, no. ;_; They already took a (welcome) step away from the Korean MMO model when they abolished the "fail an overmeld and it destroys the equipment" - let's keep moving in the same direction.

I think you may have misread, her idea was that you could combine lower-level materia, perhaps via a crafting process, and produce higher-level materia. No gear destruction involved.

Another really cool thing would be if you could combine the effects of two different types of materia into a hybrid materia. Did someone else say that here yet?

I'm aware of that. I didn't misread her post.

I'm aware of that. I didn't misread her post.

But your comment has nothing do with what she said in her post. At all. So you didn't misread, you just responded completely randomly?

that would be amazing *^*

i would really like to see that happen.

If you consider each tier as a system yes it can
Tier 5 materia (what I lvl gear will it go in,wat I lvl will make it etc) I'd consider it a system within a bigger system
P.s quoting a dictionary isn't smart.. It makes u look like I douche

it really isn't.
materia already has a tier system (grade 1-4), adding another tier is just expanding on a preexisting system.

(also quoting a dictionary is a perfectly valid way of persuasion. it is called "argument by definition")

I knew there was a word for this! Thanks.

As for the other suggestions. I love the idea of new materia that adds different stats, but that still doesn't count as a new system. It's just more materia in an existing system. The idea of fully spirit bonded gear without slots suddenly gaining a slot of some sort might count. It's different enough they may call that a new system. It would finally give me a good reason to care about my dungeon gear getting spirit bond as well since we can't even convert that stuff. As of now that is indeed a useless stat on that gear.

Arguing definition is just pointless in a thread that is all about speculation. You could add to the argument instead of trying to teach english on a message board.

I'm sorry but it was completely on point considering we are speculating about a new system. People were not actually speculating about a system at all, and the conversation was falling off point entirely and devolving into what kind of materia people would like to see. I wanted to see the conversation stay on point. It was not an english lesson at all. If anything it should be a reading comprehension lesson. -_-

That would be nice, but wouldn't it basically make crafting gears even more useless?

It kinda already is at this point mostly know craftable gear is going to play catch up after each patch or expansion at the present. Also I blame rmt's and SE fear of them in this problem of crafter in making gear though imo.
