To Yoshida-san (and thanks Gildrein for translating / posting ,

YES! The Materia System is great news!

Please keep the name and here's "vote" to bring this system in as soon as possible!

It's as you said: It keeps Gatherers, Crafters and Adventurers involved with each other, customizing, tweaking armor and weapons to keep the game interesting (and go beyond what the standard RMT Botter would flood the market with (generic mass-produced items)).

Also, a post like this should go on LODESTONE's MAIN PAGE!

This is huge news and would surely get New Players interested (and Players who left, to come back).

Thanks~
