Materia system should be streamlined and based on FFVII.

I dunno about you, but I like the idea that every other piece of equipment you come across was player-made with time and effort put into them, and not just some drop from some mob that some DRK happened to kill repeatedly.

Exactly. While I would like to see improvements done to the system (mainly introducing ways to improve extra meld percentages) I wouldn't want it to stray too far from what it is now. It's just cool to see multi-melded gear and the benefits are massive.

Thats just it though... The benefits won't be massive in the future because they are making the bonuses from materia equivalent to the bonuses from gear (lesser effect). No point in keeping it how it currently is.

Has ANYONE seen a 5x melded piece of gear with non-shit materia? No, I didn't think so. So whats the point of having that option if it's not possible.

Well I sort of agree with you. I think the crafter's skill or stats should influence extra meld chances to some extent rather than being completely RNG.
