Please simplify the materia system. It's an obnoxious, confusing aspect of the game and a huge gil sink detrimental to new players that can come nowhere close to being able to afford a single one not to mention the confusion measure of going about getting one's armor melded and the differences in the levels.

There's not even an explanation that states the limitations or the importance of the order by which you meld.

This needs to be simplified and addressed.
