Materia System

[AreeyaJaidee]

If they are going to call it the Materia system, it needs to WORK like the Materia system:

-the more you use a Materia it lvls up
-Materia is equippable and unequippable
-Materia doesn't break when you remove it
-Materia imparts skills not just lame ass stats

Come on SE, get real. This is a halfassed attempt. We need more than just retarded atk, def, etc. Stats on our weapons. What's so great about working your ass off just to get +5 STR on a sword?!

This is an insult. If the system isn't good no one will use it and a lot of players expecting above average quality content are going to hate you a lot.

I wouldn't put it passed me if this was only the start of a System that will expand into something much more.

We could only hope so. I doubt it will have time to expand if the dungeon sucks.

Because SE will loose their remaining playerbase to WoW or the much anticipated and content rich Guild Wars 2.

Without a playerbase they won't get a chance to even have a reason to continue anything ff14 related.

This next patch is a deal maker or breaker.

I'm wishing with all my might that they pull a giraffe out the hat instead of a bunny. Why? Because ppl are tired of the same **** again and again. Fool me once...

Not necessarily. Magicite started in VI, was seen in XI, and XII as well. In all 3 games magicite functioned differently, so just because it shares the name doesnt mean it has to be exactly the same.

And those extra stats can go a long way, doesnt just mean it'll be attributes though. Could have crit rate up, elemental attack added, absorb/defense for equipment, and more.

Its not half assed in the least bit, since we will/already have classes and jobs with skills that unlock via level up or quests. Stats are very important in games like this as well...thats why we're in the predicament we're in now...stats not having any real discernible effect.
