Call me pedantic...and I will return the compliment.

Definitely agree on your second point. If the 2H weapons were not more powerful than the 1H weapons I would agree that some change would be needed, but since 1H weapons are clearly weaker, it's not a problem.

One thing I'll mention again though is materia. I really wish that they would introduce a kind of materia that has a slight impact on the main stats of a weapon. Nothing game breaking, only a point or two at the very, very most, and since they mentioned tier 5 materia in the live letter, I'd suggest that tier 5 materia would be the only tier capable of affecting a weapon to that extent. Probably won't happen, but it would be nice, and give another avenue to customize weapons.
Lol which was why I had Off-hand in quotes in my original post. I was simply trying to give more background on what the OP may have been referencing, not giving him a signed endorsement.

Anyways, nitpicking aside; I agree I would like to see materia expanded. I'll just quote an older post of mine :

OT, but the materia system would be a lot more interesting if they would add unique effects and stats to this game. Stuff like Double Attack, Enhance Jump Effect, Increase Emnity, Cure Potency, Absorp HP/MP/TP, etc. So slotting certain special materia could add new effects to your weapons or equipment. I'd limit the number of specials per piece for balance.
