Thank you for the crafting changes

Why don't people understand that SE probably intends for us to focus on Materia instead of 10 parts to make one item. From the example they gave it looks like you have basic materials for it to visually makes sense. Just pretend your making buckles, straps, or whatever parts during the mini-game.

I think people also forgot what Yoshida said in his most recent letter. Here it is:

System-wise, MMORPGs are generally more complex than their offline RPG counterparts, and this is evident in the jargon they employ. In implementing the above changes in terminology, we wanted to make it so that at least the core aspects of the game can be easily grasped by anyone. We realize that more established players may find this change unsettling, and would like to apologize and ask for your understanding in advance.

Way to take that quote COMPLETELY out of context.
