"You convert the Saurian Shirt of Striking into a Water Materia V."



Well, jokes aside, elemental materia should get a use in the future.

I like the idea of changing overmelding to a system which enables you to influence the outcome and reduce the pure RNG factor.
And I also agree that the stat caps should be visible when you select an item in the melding window.


Off topic:
And why do people always come up with the argument that crafters will always be needed to craft gear for materia conversion and to meld materia?
Why become a master crafter if all you do is meld materia and craft 0-star gear?
