Materia is great. Materia is beautiful. And it glows in the dark.

But why the hell do we need 7 subtiers for each of the 4 tiers of materia?
Why is there IV materia with stats +13, +14,+15, +16, +17, +18, +19 and +20?

Not only does it take away inventory space, it also is pretty annoying to double-check
every seller for the exact value sold (because not everybody uses the last-digit-markers,
and some try to scam).

First they do away with +1 and +2 drops because they clutter up the inventory, and the
next day they intoduce a gazillion of materia that doen't stack and is an inconvenience
to sort through.

Strange logic >.>

I am pretty happy about materia per se (although it is a tad overpowered), but would be
very happy to have the variation toned down to a more manageable level...
