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.

Yeah... no. Any level 50 or so gear can be spiritbonded and converted to T4 materia, just with varying (read: low) levels of success. But then equally, I could SB a level 90 Cashmere coat and still convert it to a tier 3 elemental junker. I daresay I've actually had more luck spiritbinding level 49 gear than I have with the higher, more expensive stuff.Where do you think that gear you're spiritbonding comes from? You can buy the lower level stuff for the lower tier materias (which you can SB full sets of in just a few minutes if you know what you're doing) from merchants, but for tier 4 materias, that needs crafted gear.
Incidentally, the lower, cheaper items are the ones most people buy simply because they're more plentiful and cheaper, so failures hurt a lot less.
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
