Such materia prices are discouraging gameplay... SE shd sell materia by M-tomes
No thanks, I can probably earn the 450k to buy the materia faster than I can spirit bind it. As you say, RNG. I don't have a shortage of gil anyway, I just don't feel the upgrade is worth the cost when far cheaper alternatives exist. Why spend 10 million on this when you can spam hunts for 15 hours and get a sand?
