Just got the Fairy Tale staff for Aerith and I loooove that it has so many material slots. This works because she's my Mage/summoner, so she needs dem slots!

Also, I'm actually... not enjoying material as much as I remember. It takes extremely long to level everything up, and I'm really missing the stat variety that the espers provided. I also miss the complexity and convenience of the Junction system (such as being able to just transfer one person's settings to another - that's an awesome thing that would work here because you're always only using three members at once anyway, and I like to transfer material to my active party so it levels up quicker).

In all, playing this game has really made me eager to play VIII
