That's by no means certain... we see him take a blue materia into his arm, and that same arm glows when he's summoning later on. But then, we know that those guys have a whole lot of materia in their arms. You can see that when Yazoo and Loz are dissolving at the end. So Kadaj was quite possibly using a different materia for his summoning. The glow was blue/green, not red, but that's the normal colour of spirit energy apparently :monster:Quote:

I think it's correct to assume that Cloud and the others really don't need materia at this point. Having a better understanding of the Planet, they can no doubt form a relationship with it that allows them to do things they weren't able to do in the past (such as jumping 80 feet in the air and destroying solid objects). By the way, I don't think Cloud's weapon is all that special. It's not the Ultima Weapon. It's just a bunch of swords that lock together. I think overall that Cloud's strength extends into his swords while he's fighting.
You could say that people all over the planet have latent LIMIT abilities granted them by the Planet upon their birth. I would bet that this is how the Cetra could defeat Jenova without materia (if they did). Of course, upon the discovery of materia, a lot of people would forget about their own abilities and simply rely on Mako. Pretty much everyone who uses LIMITs has a reason for why they'd know how to use them. Of course, Cid's only hint is his spear and his last name which might make us think he's been trained by a long line of warriors.
I think they were putting the materia in armor when they did equip it. maybe thier jacket or something.
It would've been a nice touch, but I don't think the absence detracted from the movie at all. However, I want to know what types of materia Cloud had in that box. There was a bunch of it :)
How do they know what materia is what though? Do you get a brainwave type thing when you touch it? Or do they secretly put labels in, so that they don't get confused.Quote:

Who else would have made the black and white materia?Quote:

Yuffie makes a comment about how all the materia are to do with battles and magic, and how it must have been awful for the ancients because they must have always been fighting (no wonder they died out) so i figured that Materia had like Ancient knowledge in it, cos it comes from the life stream doesn't it.
Yep, that's basically how it's explained in the game - materia, like some of the the Spheres in FFX, are distilled and condensed spirit energy that's been floating around the Lifestream. That can sometimes include memories or powers of particular individuals who've returned to the planet, such as the Ancients - who were spiritually in tune with the planet, and able to communicate with it and call on its powers. Which is what materia allows a regular person to do, albeit in a more limited way.Quote:
