How can we get more in depth character customization?

You mean exactly what XIV does with crafted gear being able to be pentamelded?

Not comparable, 7's materia is vastly superior to 14's as it directly gave spells and abilities so when you chose gear for a massive materia slot list you are giving yourself greater coverage and magical power at the cost of weapon power or physical defense.

14 offers no such thing.

Unfortunately you can't really do what VII did in a game like XIV. Imagine if tanks needed to equip specific gear or materia to get Rampart lol

Being honest, if this game had 7's materia everyone and their dog would be using monster skill materia then pad it with any other materia of their choice. Every job would be part bluemage!
