ah Boko but there is a reason to have that much materia, trying to collect materia to make 9 of each Master Materia, and the plethora of All Materia being mastered to either cash in and/or give you enough to link to a couple spells with each character so you don't have to swap out materia every time you switch out characters... anyway i always end up with more Materia than Yuffie can steal and i always thaught that was normal cuz i don't even try to get that much really, i just run around looking for fights to level up so i can kill the next boss in just a couple of hits, i hate long drawn out loosing battles, i like to make sure that i will win with no possibility of seeing the Game Over screen...
