    No More Elemental Materia!!! Rejoice!!!

    Was just watch the letter from the producer live and they announced it.
    Elemental resistances are being completely removed and elemental materia are going with it.

    I'll actually be a little sad to see them go, because for whatever reason (Anima?) grade IVs sold on the market board at pretty decent prices. Transmuting materia can be pretty profitable, if extremely tedious.

    Elemental really made no difference... so it doesn't affect anything lol...
    Though they are adding something to relic and Eureka so you need to work with elements to beat certain fights. They just are making elements needed in a different way

    Reading the patch notes and anything involving elemental resistance is either being changed such Fire Ward Potions and the like among other things.

    I wager for the silver circlets and things like that, they're either just gonna remove the elemental resistance, so the only difference is appearance although I do wonder what that means for things like Boarkskin Wristband of Flames or whatever. It's a level 46 or so piece using a lower level piece as a base, so I wager they're gonna ditch all of them sans one and make it into a piesteskin wristband or something?

    They went with your first idea. Duplicate items with different gems. Can't fault them, but would've been nice to remove that clutter, too.

    I instantly went and transmuted all mine to marginally more useful materia. Freed up more retainer space than the glamour dresser for me.

    Yeah, realized that and it's like why? Can't even consider having them for cosmetic reasons as the differences are pretty hard to see especially with the hand gear.

    I def think ill hold onto them... Did one better and cleared out MB too. I think those being technically discontinued will be pretty neat in the future... Not like other materia will be of much relief either -can almost guarantee blue or green materia by transmutation now - prices will collapse

    I miss suiting up in all melded ice resistance gear and letting an ice sprite attack me. Sometimes I'd ignore 100% damage!
    I kinda wish they'd go the other way and let us have elemental wheels mean something again.

    Soooo does this mean my 300 of each elemental materia V's are now considered unattainable tradeable items?

    Sounds like those could have even more value later than i thought they could by SE using them in relics like they did with animas. Quite the goose egg to stow away in the darkest depths of a retainer...
