I'm certainly welcoming this change, it is more of the materia conversion that bothers me

Let me quote what I posted in another thread:

But the notes seems to also hint that IL70 will no longer give a 100% Tier IV conversion rate, and probably only IL90 guarantees Tier IV.

This would have a hit on the supply of Tier IV materia and cause it likely to rocket even higher.

If true, it might also hint that there might not be Tier V materia in Patch 2.4 (since IL70 guarantees Tier IV, I was expecting IL90 to guarantee Tier V), or IL90 doesn't give 100% Tier V for the new IL110 crafted gears and cause creating and pentamelding IL110 gears extremely expensive than ever.

That's going to be a little troublesome.
