Disciplies of the Land can gather catalyst items to meet the realm’s demands


I’ll be posting more details on the Materia System at a later date.
This sounds, imo, absolutely awesome. My biggest fear about the new battle system is that we are going to loose a lot of customization. I would like to suggest, however, that you give crafters a way to remove "materia" as well. No one wants to have the koolest piece of armor ever, customize it, and then find a better customization.
