"Greater Materia Sockets" Concept Idea

[Dragon246]

that would create unnecessary item bloat. we don't need things like "savage might VIII+1" "savage aim VIII+2", etc. etc. materias out there.

No no, i don't think you got my point there. What i said was that to make this kind of Materia i mentioned in my first post stronger but put a "once per equipment" restriction on it. That wouldn't create a bloat since they're only 4-5 new "big materia" (depending on what exact effects they would have) items in the game in general, and as a nice sideeffect would also increase the worth of lesser used materia again.
