Like red scrip was the problem...

You can obtain tier V's through it so it does count. On day one after tier V's could be obtained from it there was half a dozen various tier V's already in the market on my server. Granted they were expensive but the price has been dropping on tier V's since then.

Actually it doesn't count because Square has stated Grade V materia will not be available until a month after release (3.05) other then through mutamix.

Even if they said nothing, it hardly counts because the rate of obtaining V material via Mutanix is so incredibly rare that there are hardly any Grafe V's out there.

Heck, if you were to get every Grade V on every server and use them all to max meld the new gear, chances are you wouldn't have even close to enough materia. Right now their only is rings and items that only require 1.
