For some reason the idea of converting a triple melded item, or NPC'ing it doesn't really strike as productive, nor pleasant.

*Converts triple-melded item*
YAY! I got a Grade IV materia!
*Looks more closely*
A Water...Materia..IV....
*Marches up to Mr. Bubblypots and shoves the materia up his big goblin nose.*

Hopefully they have plans to make it so you dont get those crap materia when you convert melded items. They already mentioned something about the chance for getting grade IV being much higher when converting a melded Item in ARR, but I dont think that is enough.

I've always thought each item type converted into way too many types of materia, leaving it too much to luck to get a good one, and some pieces can create the same materia as another piece. I think if they cut out all the duplication, and leave those resistance and element materia on only certain peices people wont have that frustration. I also think that items should be converted only into materia you can actually place on the item that you converted, taking out a lot of guesswork there.
