An item most rare you say?

Yeah that materia with +9 fire resistance is quite rare...

Why does Elemental Resistance Materia exist again since that resistance actually means all of nothing? Honest question.

It's there so your retainers can bring something back other than fish and it still be utterly worthless.

Back in the day, when Titan Hard mode was still...hard. there was a poster who melded an ungodly amount of Earth materia on thier accessories, apparently it did significantly reduce the earth based damage Titan could dish out. So, actually it does still mean something, it's just very minor and you need an ungodly amount to makeva difference. I'm sure we can all think of better melds...

Funny you say that, because back when Ifrit was a brick wall for me as WHM, I used my Fantasia just to change my Guardian to Azeyma as well as sold as much of my items and gear as possible to so I can crafted gear and put Fire Resists melds on it. Not sure if it was a mental thing or if it actually worked, but one wipe later, I had no more issues with Ifrit.

To this day, I still have Azeyma as my Guardian.

They forgot to remove it when they changed from 1.x to 2.x.

I had someone buy a 220 jewel from me and go to her retainer a few days ago. "EWWW my retainers suck. <Earth Materia V>
I suggested she take it to mutamix with 4 IV materia. "I don't have the money to buy those." I give her some. Bam that Earth 5 became a Craftsmanship V and made her over 3 million gil.

Oh ho. I think we know why the Elemental Materia exists now.
