For the love of all that was, is, and ever will be holy, may we please have two options added to the character dialog? The first allows you to remove all materia from a specific piece of gear, say your chest armor. The second allows you to remove ALL materia from ALL equipped gear. I get phantom carpel tunnel pains just thinking about all that pointless clicking.

Going one step further, it'd be great if we could also store materia profiles. Sort of like glamor plates, though when I think about it, maybe this could be an extension of glamor plates. So, for example, BLM and RDM both use "of Casting" gear, but generally have very different materia buildouts. Swapping them can be a real pain. Allowing materia to be saved as part of a glamor profile would allow players to have two glamor plates, one for BLM and one for RDM, and then swapping between them would also change the materia melding. In the event there's a mismatch between the number of materia to be melded and slots in a bit of gear, it could just be blocked similar to how some items are gender locked.

As a bonus third item, can we get a separate tab in the inventory just for materia, similar to elemental shards/crystals/clusters? Feels like half my inventory is taken up just by materia. Each type and level of materia can have its own slot and you can hold up to 999, or whatever upper limit you want, of each.

And a minor bonus fourth item: Can you please work on harmonizing the various dialog boxes? Sometimes all you have to do is click on something and it performs the action. Sometimes you have to do that and then select yes or no. Sometimes an action, like melding materia, will close a menu if you have it open, sometimes it won't. Pick one behavior for each scenario and change all the others to match. This also extends to retainers. On top of there being entirely too many dialog boxes to negotiate -- do I really need to see the same message every. single. time? It was cute the first maybe 50 times, but by 500 it was wearing quite thin and by 5,000 you want to reach into the screen and strangle them. Maybe just the first time a play session, or once every 24hr period, or optionally turn it off entirely -- just to be able to get one or two things from their inventory, but sometimes I have to hit one button, other times I have to hit another button... it's a jumbled mess.
