Being able to use all grades of materia unrestricted until you reach the cap would be great.
eg. I can use 3 x II materia instead of absolutely needing a tier IV with no penalties provided the correct amounts of Alexandrite are supplied.

IF that is the case (and let's hope it is)... people flocking to the market boards buying all the inflated IVs might actually just be burning the gil?
