MATERIA changes to save inv space

[Coombah]

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.

It's just too powerful, is all. That's what I mean. People are supposed to make great gear by melding those materia together on gear now, if you pull it outside of that, they will say it's unbalanced and too easy in that regard.

Edit: Also, as far as we are aware, we cannot and will not be able to meld materia on to accessories, so they need to be of good quality to begin with in that regard.

that's were opinion comes into play. i don't believe having resist attached as bonus would make things op(as long as its balanced which im sure they would. i don't know anyone personally that would take a double melded resist gear over something that would actually benefit damage def hp mp or magic pot.
