Not an overabundance of details to share, but you can expect further details will be posted in the forums and topics in the near future. Hopefully you guys can hold out a bit longer!





That’s right. Here are the steps:



1) When you have the weapon/armor equipped, you will accumulate attachment points.

2) Once you have accumulated a certain amount of attachment points, you will be given the option to turn the equipment into materia.



However, there is certain equipment that you will be unable to convert into materia.





By speaking with an NPC, you can have materia removed from your equipment.

In this instance, you will retain your equipment, but the materia that was removed will disappear.





You can turn equipment into materia as many times as you want.





Equipment with materia attached and materia itself can be traded.

However, as usual, "Untradeable" items cannot be traded.



*Keep in mind, some terminology may not be finalized, so don’t hold me to it when the Localization guys came up with fancier terms than the above!
