That could very easily be material melding, my friend.
Do not get overhype

I was thinking the same thing cause of the revisions being made to it.

True since it was originally referred to as such 'materia crafting' - though I hope their localization examines the wording. Distilling memories / assimilating memories really isnt a craft, as it stands currently (see further below also).

Before someone semi-logically says "what about brewery" you have to realize brewery also includes combining multiple materials, times, processes, and more then I can think of - can actually go along a recipe. Materia's only recipe is level and type, so if you want to argue crafting on those lines then I guess its an extremely shallow crafting experience Xd (shallow experience != good, rewording would lend better light if this is really the goal still).

* Dont want to insinuate complex recipe = good crafting, just meaning crafting is an involved processes requiring skill generally with hands specifically. Materia in the past really didnt fit this, unless skill = 2 seconds of rng while it converts into rng type of rng tier.


Certainly hoping for more then just the original - but we will see.

Ya, i realize that. Just seemed odd wording and i didn't see anyone discussing it yet.

In the beta road map, on page 11 there is mention of materia crafting.

Although they introduced the system as such in 1.0 as a sort of crafting "forbidden craft" or something like that.

Still hope that they are using the word more appropriately this time and not so loose-y goose-y as they did the first time.
