If they want to eventually make it easier they could by making you not need as many Materia. Make it for example, where instead of having to add a certain number of I/II/III/IV Materia per stat, you just have to add as an example, 5-10 of DET Materia (and they can still be the cheap ones) but you still get the maximum amount of DET. It just automatically adds it like with the books.

Alternatively (which would make people rage, I'm sure) they could crash the market by making you able to obtain the Materia through tomes or something.
