Materia Suggestion

[Barboron]

This would allow players to make slow progress toward valuable materias such as determination and critical hit rate while doing weekly content such as the Hunt in order to cap their weekly soldiery.

This would be anything but slow. They need to not add any other rewards to hunt simply because of how easy it is to obtain the rewards. Any valuable rewards added would cause a huge influx of players back into the hunts and you will see rage post, after rage post, after rage post, after...well, you get that idea, on the forums about people "pulling early" and hunts being so OP that "casual" players can get stuff they shouldn't.

On top of that, allowing people to select a materia would destroy their values on the market. Spiritbonding, for those who don't want to grind too much, could prove to be a good way to obtain gil. Sure there already is the crafting market but you need a huge injection of gil to start your crafting classes to begin with and having everyone do crafts would then destroy the trades.

Simply put, for now I think it should continue as is unless the materia obtained through cracked materia was random, much like materia transmutation. As for getting Grade IV, I don't think that would be a good idea but that's just my own personally opinion.

I was hoping they would copy FF7 when it comes to "other" ways of obtaining materia. Remember this;



Yup, just a random Ramuh materia lying on the floor in the Gold Saucer lmao.

To be honest, while I think each FF game should stick to itself, since they went the materia route in this game there is something I would really appreciate...the elemental materia. If they made this like the way it is in FF7 that would be really nice, without the "Added Element" of course.

For those who either don't remember or haven't played it, in FF7 you could attach an elemental materia (Fire, Ice, Lightining etc.) to a weapon or armour and combine it with a materia called "Added Element" (or Elemental) and it would, well, add the element to that piece. So adding it to armour would increase resistance/defence to this element. Adding it to a weapon would give your weapon an added elemental damage based on the materia. This would actually give SOME use to the elemental materia and it would give SE a chance to play with those stupid glows they love so much.

I'm against that idea, it'll ruin the economy. I like having a weekly 700k revenue, thanks
