Materia System

[Malakhim]

You guys remember skill up parties in FFXI, right?

Well here they are again. That simple.

Also, gatherers are in THE highest position of power. No catalyst = no materia grafting, and who are the only ones who can collect catalysts again?

No way. They would shoot themselves in the foot by not AVOIDING grinding and farming for this system. It's poor game design, and archaic MMO content.

Just because gathering mats are required doesn't mean the gatherers who gather them will mean anything. See: the current crafting system in its entirety where gatherers are treated like common ants because their products are so oversupplied and common.
