Materia System

[Elexia]

Hmm...sounds like part of XI's Evolith system that was never fully realized. I approve.

Also, Please PLEASE keep the name.

I concur. You want more Final Fantasy? Go for the big money.

Even Yoshi P agrees with me.

This is great news. I love the idea of the whole post, but the last part really got me.

"Finally, rumors tell of a forbidden technique with a high risk of failure to attach another materia to an item that already has a materia attached to it… "

High risk of failure, but I'll bet the reward would be wonderful! It's awesome.

Dangerous move to make the rate-limiting step of the process something a shard bot can do (wear out a weapon with use then try to hq materia from it). Still, sounds reasonable.

Got some new tidbits regarding the upcoming Materia system implementation to share with you straight from the dev. team!


We're looking forward to hearing feedback on this!

*Rep note: Similar to "affection" not "attaching" something.

Cool news! I like that we will be able to trade and purchase materia freely, thanks for this.

Question:

Other then materia conversion, is there plans to have Materia drop from mobs, or NM bosses, etc? I think it would be fun to find Materia in chests randomly, but also on tough mobs.

I second the idea of having low level materia drop from normal enemies and strong materia from NMs, Bosses, and chests in dungeons.

However, now you guys HAVE to implement a Materia Eater NM.

Guess once we're done grinding SP we'll be grinding attachment points

[Cutriss]

Sure hope this gives us a new inventory tab, 'cuz otherwise you're going to be tossing a billion purple materia every day. :P

...Could it be like a Zone Eater?

I hope color wise it shows up on your equipment, like how the gemmed accessories show their stone color.

I agree with that, either to somehow show it physically on your armor, or even have the option of it adding an "aura" to the equipment it is on.

Also, the Materia name wouldn't bother me, but I wouldn't mind Magicite either(FF6 being my favorite and all), or something more aligned with the current FFXIV universe, like Aether Gems, or Aether Stones.
