Materia system should be streamlined and based on FFVII.

[Jocko]

While I'm not sure of adjusting the current system to be like VII's, which would require quite the overhaul, I'm all for the inclusion of more unique types of materia, and ways to receive said materia. Even if they were to not drop directly from bosses, I would love if U/U boss drops could be converted into that unique materia. In example, as I've used before, Ifrit's Battleaxe being converted into the Ifrit's Rage materia, that when slotted into another weapon would allow it to proc fire damage, each additional one slotted upping the chance to do so. I feel like it would add a lot of customization to character building, as well as being a nifty way to keep old content relevant. Imagine slotting materia that lowered a weapon's delay, and then supplementing that with materia that allowed you to proc HP or MP regen?

I'm not sure how I feel about attaching skill to materia,I do think it would be nice to add skill enhancing materia, much like the AF pieces have. I would also love for elemental resistances to be worth a damn, perhaps having endgame ice themed areas, where creating an ice resistant set would actually be worthwhile
