What is materia final fantasy

Advent Children depicts it as being noticeably larger than the Materia found in the original game. It's possible that the inconsistencies when it comes to Materia size could be explained by the game's growth system. Materia grows as the player accumulates Ability Points. As it does so, it can sometimes grant the user access to more powerful versions of the spell it contains.

In the original game, a Materia's "growth" culminates in a new Materia being born once the original is fully mastered. If Materia really does grow in size as it accumulates experience, it's possible that this 'birth' represents the Materia reaching its maximum size and splitting itself in half. This mechanic wasn't found in Final Fantasy VII Remake , although it's possible that developers didn't want to unbalance the early stages of the game and will add it in a future entry.

Although most players will never come close to hitting this limit, the original game prevents the party from carrying more than pieces of Materia.

The original game split Materia into five main categories Magic, Command, Support, Independent, and Summon with each having its own distinct color.

Although this mechanic was carried over into the remake, it's not the same in all of the games found in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Magic is split up into offensive, defensive, and curative whilst command, support, and independent are also separated into sub-categories and colors. Together with the black and white Materia, this means that there are at least 12 distinct types.
