In fact you have an much smaller chance of getting the secondary stats as a mataria when compared to all the other stats. Creating materia is more RNG then when atma farming + it cost you gil. There is no way you can do a novious without spending large amounts gil, even if your an omnicrafter, and spiritbond everything yourself.

yes, i have a bunch of Materia IV from SB, and it didnt cost anything, cause i grathered/crafted the gear myself=win.
it will take time to get gil to by materia.
it takes time to SB.
doesn't matter which you prefer, but i prefer to not spend gil on greedy ppl.
it only takes a long time with lv50+ gear, and you can get IV from lv45 stuff, and possibly a bit lower.
And if you get *wrong* materia, you can trade it for what you need. or convert materias until you get what you want.

Finally we can automatically skip cutseens. Do you know how much time loading a cutseen take on ps3??! Like 30 secs. That's to much time already wasted!

Something tells me there'll be more to Novus than just the "infusing materia" part. I expect the sphere scrolls themselves to take a long time to get so I wouldn't worry about materia prices just yet.

We've know Alexandrite will need to be collected for some time. It's listed as a Catalyst so I imagine it will replace Carbonized Matter for melding Scrolls.

I like a lot in this patch! I'm not a big fan of the materia upgrade. I just used all of my gil I'd saved up to buy a house. So currently I have less than 100k gil. And then they add a patch where you (what we assume) have to get materias which are gonna be soo expensive. I'm so excited about the sightseeing log though.
doon't know how I feel about the pvp upgrade. The one advantage/disadvantage I have when playing pvp is that I have more/less skills than the other players. Now that everyone can access them there's no real advantage for higher ranked players, except gear but usually you don't play against ppl with higher pvp gear than you.
I do like that we can change them as we like though

"The party member list will be sorted automatically upon entering a duty.
Sorting order can be adjusted via the Party List tab under UI Settings in the Character Configuration interface."

Yay!~ It's silly, but it drives me nuts every time I'm in an instance and have to re-order the party list. I play on a controller, so I like to have the tanks right at the top of the party for easy cures. Yayyyyy, thank you! Finally!

"Teleport can no longer be used when engaged with an enemy."

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~! I abused this a lot when I was done with quests and whatever. xD Ah, well.

Should I feel worried that they didn't mention anything about fantasia potion apart from they weren't unique anymore? :<
