MATERIA changes to save inv space

[syntaxlies]

What would you think of resist materia just being combined with the other more popular materias instead of having 2 pieces. I don't think resist materia would make people to OP so i don't think it would be an issue.

Combine sleep resist with hp
petrifaction resist with mp and so on.

The materia system is still new and needs adjustments, i think this would be a good one.

EDIT:just wanted to point out the second agenda of this topic is to make use of less desirable materia by combining them with more desirable materia. quality over quantity.

I'd be happier if materia didn't take up space in my inventory at all, it never made sense to me that it does, my character is carrying around several thousand fire/ice/lighting/whatever crystals but because materia is a different 'type' of crystal it takes up a precious inventory slot.

this idea is also to gain the effects of less desired materia without having to sacrifice stats for it.

for standard materia i think they are doing away with all the different potency's and just making them NQ HQ so they can stack

I think materia should be done like crystals in the inventory and made stackable have ...so if you have say 4 +12 str they shoudl all be one stack and the +1 strs should be in another stack.

that's a really good idea actually.

This is what I have been saying for some time. If it must take inventory space, then let it do so in this fashion. Besides, more and less desired materia is a subjective way to look at it, so this is the much better solution.

(Example: If you have a Mind materia +16, Mind materia +18, Mind materia +18, Mind materia +20, and Mind materia +16 again, it will only take up 3 inventory spaces instead of 5 spaces. The two +18s will stack together, and the two +16s will stack together.)

Edit: uh... I guess this goes the same for NQ and HQ materia if that happens. It should stack to 99 NQ or 99 HQ, etc, in my opinion.

it may be subject to say more or less desired but i don't think it is subject to say that combining them into one would make them better without being OP.

edit: by desired i mean what sells in wards, and that is facts

Oh, well I thought we all wanted more room, that's why I said it that way. If we all didn't want to save room in our inventories then why was this thread made with that as one of the main points? lol My point was, that it's more efficient overall to just be able to stack them in the inventory.

The materia overall would be too powerful combined together the way that you described anyway. =p

you could make even more room by doing it both ways. removing some materia and just making them bonus effects on other materia, making the HQ and NQ to stack. I like all these ideas. I like the idea of some materia being a bonus stat so that example: on mrd i add 70 hp to belt bonus stat +10 pet resist. its nice to get the bonus, but i woulda picked the HP had i needed to choose one.

I see that the new goldsmith recipes are taking this approach as well, quality over quantity.

they put off the +2, +3 materials to get more space in our inventory and they add grade I,...,V materia, dark matters and stuff for craft and materia attachment, so it doesn't change anything at all to our inventory space...
