[dev1017]Potential problems with item loss from failed materia synthesis

[Perrin_Aybarra]

that quote is kind of confusing to read, rough translation? anyways the last sentence seems to imply that materia synthing will make craft-able gear stronger than the rare/ex dropped by NMs. still kind of cryptic, but if it is true that NM/dungeon gear cant be upgraded with materia adjustments then wont that make all of that gear inferior and not worth getting? that just sounds like a horrible idea

Depends because NM/Dungeons gears will be as good as let's say Crafted gears with 2 materias.

Getting 3-5 materia in a gear will be risky and you might end up loosing it all, so having this "in case" gear could be a good alternative instead of buying another gear.
