Time for me to bulk gather glamor prism mats.

When you upgrade from 330 > 340 your slotted Materia is lost, this helps safeguard against 'Materia Retrieval' RNG - especially for people who don't like to tank / haven't leveled one to access this infinite source.

The number of dungeons you can do with your Squadron will undoubtedly increase later on.
But signing up for specific dungeons will not give you the daily bonus you get for roulettes - so people will most likely keep running roulettes just as much (or little) as they have done in the past.

Don't forget that HW 24Ms gave out Mhachi Matter weekly to trade for materia. There may be more sources of Cracked Clusters in SB but it's the same idea.
Now, if they could let us trade Cracked Clusters for multple T5 materia that would be most welcome.

So much QoL though.
The tab-target fix alone makes this patch.

And the shiba-inu minion.

Everything about this complaint was made redundant ages ago when they added unsynced mode for old content. Anyone can run those dungeons unsynced already. We're losing nothing, it's just reusing old roulette fodder content that almost nobody voluntarily plays after their first few weeks of the game anyway. I haven't set foot in the DF queue for Brayflox in years. I probably never will again; if a friend needs it we'll queue with my FC.

I agree that soloing all current content would be a massive waste but giving people more to do outside of prime time or the current popular activities is a good thing for the game. I sometimes log on, queue for Frontline and wait around doing nothing until bedtime (it almost never pops at night). I'm not going to queue Brayflox with three strangers in that time anyway because there is no reason to do so, so I may as well have some interesting stuff to mess around with next to my squad of attractive NPC Elezen women if I feel like leaving the queue.

True but just 1 is absymal compared to the other sources

I'll be more specific:
The ways to get materias VI are very abundant between dungeon drops, spiritbonding, tanking or healing levelling roulette, going for S/A ranks and daily hunts and most importantly they are not as limited
The weekly reward for clearing rabanastre gives you 1 cluster/week in comparison you can get 3 and half from just daily hunts in a week (granted you won't get tomes for the upgrade item but you can get one from rabanastre anyway)
My problem is that only 1 cluster for a weekly is to few when other sources as said are much more generous on that
