Materia System

[Rentahamster]

I think people are not reading this post and understanding it and i also think that the wording is not correct. Why do people keep thinking u craft materia when it states that u use gear accumulate points then convert those points into materia THEN YOU GET A CRAFTER TO ATTACH IT TO GEAR. On the otherhand the part about coverting the gear/points into materia is not concise enough ;is it that u convert gear into materia after u accumulate enough points?! ; do you lose your gear entirely at the expense of gaining materia?! or do u just lose the accumulated points and gain a materia item in inventory. If you lose your gear entirely then i wonder what the reasoning skills of the development team is rofl.

BAYOHNE you need to answer this lol.

It clearly says that after you reach 100% affection/affinity/whatever you can convert your gear into materia, then socket that materia into other pieces of gear.

As YoshiP stated when he first gave word about the Materia system, one of the aims is to stimulate the economy. Having gear be consumed would help to reduce the excess amount of items we have in circulation.

Well it may very well increase the number of items in circulation. It's that they're actually circulating that is the main goal.

Whatever the case, they're designing it to fulfill the goal of economic stimulation. Whether or not that goal occurs in reality, however, remains to be seen. We probably won't know until they implement in the patch and we see wide-scale use.
