Seriously though... Rare materia... Materia that only came from 1 piece... it gives people a reason to do the content, even when something better comes a long....
I don't know man. I see people doing DH, Toto-rak, Ifrit, Moogle, CC and AV all quite regularly as is. The expedition for seals was a fantastic addition to have people go back to dungeons and farm old loot. Ifrit and Moogle still keep people busy.

Like I said, a new system like the one hinted for the upgrading of AF weapons is much more appealing to me for rare/ex things than some extension of the materia system. The materia system's primary purposes are to promote customization in gear, give a long-term goal with forbidden melds, and more than anything else provide a gear-sink to maintain circulation of crafted gear in the market. It's quite successful in those regards.

All that needs to be done is add more materia to entice players with established gear to start blowing shit up again.
