Great thoughts Nya.

I agree. I'm also curious about how Materia Melded Gear fits in. It was one interview where Yoshi P was talking about the Blue/Red Scrips, and making crafting more accesible (like w/ Tomestones), which is great, but he also mentioned how hardcore crafters could still utilize Materia Melded Gear in some way.

Perhaps Penta-Melded Crafting Gear will be like it is now (BiS), but you can trade for the Artisan's NPC Gear in Mor Dhona that's only *slightly* less potent?

We'll see.
