Right but that doesn't change the fact that the system exists in that game, as well as other games. I wasn't saying anything bad about it, just that it seems more like those than FF7's materia system considering in FF7 the slotted materia gave you access to abilities. Here it seems like specific stat boosts instead, which are more like gems in other games.
