Materia Stacking (Inventory Killer)

Would be best if they can just move it to it's own category imo but it's a start

Wouldn't be realistic, because it would simply mean adding over 1000+ inventory slots. When -you- see "just a category", internally it's most likely extra line of code, for each item within that category.

Right now we have 200 slots + crystals + currencies.

Now, each single materia type got 4 grades, and within these 4 grades you have ~4 different values. Which gives ~16 different tier per materia. How many different materia do we have? Too lazy to search now, but something around 80 I'd say.

80*16=1280

So by granting materias their own category, you directly enable players to own 1280 extra different items on top of the 200 + crystals + currencies they already have.

I just hardly doubt that the current XIV will be able to manage that. If it was possible without any issue, then we would already have an even bigger inventory.

The best solution for now is to be able to stack them, as long as they have the same value.

Why not put them in another Category.. should help on space or just make "Bags" for materia

Own category? yes
Own item slots? no

And get rid of multiple types per tier.

If you get a tier IV materia it should have one value. not 4.

They unfortunately could not do that now, though. Since people have been using variants on gear, own variants, etc. Unless we went through another round of dated gear/dated materia they won't be able to get rid of the variants.

I like this idea in combination with the stacking if the same tier.

I would ask that the materia the change happen so that all NEW materia of the tier is one value and stackable.

And possibly (and I do mean possibly) consolidating the catalysts to the tier. Dare I say... even just using Dark Matter?

I agree with the idea of making all of the materia of the same tier the same value. As it is we basically have tiers within materia tiers, corresponsing first to the title name, and then the value. Stacking could also be implemented at that point for even more inventory compaction. This also has the side effect of making materia easier to appraise, as the worth of a materia is only based off of the tier, and not an additional factor.

[Xenor]

They could do this going forward, when tier 5 materia eventually exists. Since it would be better in general than any 4 they could then get rid of the extra lower tiers as gear with it in wouldn't be the best any more anyway.

You guys are clearly asking for too much
