Eitherway, that materia system sounds a lot like the armor slots/get system we got in wow.

I like it, this game is more wowish each month :O
I cannot believe you people are comparing this system to WoW. And this is not just from FFVII either, they also did something very similar to this in FFIX and FFXI, except it was for abilities, not for stats, but it is the same idea. If I am not mistaken, FFIX was released before WoW. In FFIX Weapons and Armors would have abbilities and magic spells attached to them. The way you would go about learning those spells would be to fight with the weapon or armor on and earn "attatchment points". Once you unlocked all points you were able to use the spells and/or abilities granted from that weapon/armor anytime you wanted. In this sense, they are trading magic and abilities for an actual "skill orb" that you can attach to other items. That is pretty much the same idea, and while it is not magic or abilities, the name Materia makes sense, that and they said they were not set on that name anyway.
