Materia

[Shougun]

lol WHM was not OP, it was just stronger than people are used to seeing. It's nice to see a healer that doesn't hit like a baby. I liked helping DD on WHM. It made it more interesting and less boring.

Thanks for posting that Reika, but it still looks like materia won't be worth as much as it was. In time or Gil.

So how am I supposed to pump up my character stats along side my newly wimpified materia stats? Splitting the stat pool just seems to make it more complicated.

Well you'd still pump up your character with materia, its just less obvious when someone is single wielding or dual wielding. (hoping there will be some cool materia like add sleep effect, or abilities)..


I'm going to have to test what they mean by this stuff though, like I wonder if that means I can solo more stuff naked lol

Gyoo... I was hoping to see less naked runs. >.<

So basically our stat-plan will involve a) character stast b) gear stats and c) materia slotted in d) food and meds.

Oi, oi oi, I'm going to need a calculator to change jobs now...?

Well.... Assuming you only get limited stat resets I'd be careful how you allocate your character stats (since its half your character now).


I hope there is more calculations given to players. Else I'm just going to stick to my stats and save my respecs till someone uses theirs to figure it out ;P lol

Same here.

I hope they get materia to work on a slot system like in ffvii. I also want to be able to keep my materia and level it up over time like in ffvii. Not that they will do it, but that's how I always pictured materia would work when they mentioned materia initially for xiv.

Yea that was one of my biggest beefs about the old system, you couldn't slot raid gear or AF.

Because that wasn't the purpose of the system.

In A Realm Reborn the materia system will be seeing a revamp and we're planning to announce some interesting details before the beginning of Beta Phase 3, so expect to learn more around then!

So the dev team changed mind? Time ago Yoshi-P said that the materia system will not change greatly, but they will raise the % of success for multiple meld.

I hope in no more luck system, but in predefinied slot like, normal mode content 1 slot, hard mode same piace but 2 slot, and same with craft, nq 1 slot, hq 2 slot to place materias..

I would love SE to do as the OP suggested. Both ideas are solid. If SE implement this idea or close to it, I'm sure the community would welcome it.
