This is a Community Rep with a translation from Yoshida speaking of a possible Materia System coming soon.

as well heres how I'm hoping its working.



But for the purpose of this thread. Do you think the Nostalgia factor of calling it Materia will appease a lot of players? How do you hope it will work? How do you think this will affect crafting in the long run?
Materia could also have skill bases as in FF7. This could be the way that a future Summoner class learns their abilities, and additionally having a Fire materia equipped could lower the cast speed, mp cost, and stamina cost of all the Fire spells.
