Spiritbinding = Ex?

[Ferth]

It's bad for the economy actually.
You can easily make gear, and instant bind them, then convert to materia. So melding will be very easy and convenient to do. Before you needed to grind a lot to bind gear.
Then again i don't think you'll bind an item on 1 kill.

There's nothing in the post to indicate that once an item is bound to your character it is suddenly eligible to be converted to materia.

I imagine the grind to spirit bind will still exist. And you can still make multiple melded items for trade, you just no longer have the luxury of using them yourself before you sell it.

I'm not sure how I feel about this at the moment. I kind of agree that it will greatly depend on what other changes to materia there are.
