Huge Materia

[Bambi]

Why do you suppose there isn't a purple one?

I've never really thought about it til now, maybe it was in a reactor that blew up......but saying tht, if there are all those reactors, why can you only find 4 huge materias in the first place?

And where did they originally come from, or do you suppose they were created because of all the Mako in the reactors?

It never hit me as strange because I always thought that there was a purple kind of materia, anyway - Long Range, Counter Attack, etc. Colour blindness strikes again.

Purple materia is independent materia, and the reason there is no huge materia for it is because it is really just an add on with way too many effects to have a Master Independant materia. if there had been one, then it would be far too powerful and the game, with what little challenge it would still pose at that point would be irrelevant.

think about it, having a fully mastered hp+,mp+,luck+, magic+, etc. materia would make you basically invincible, so its just not logical to have a Master Independant materia.

i also believe the reason behind there being no huge materia for it is because it is more of sub-class of materia, that doesnt really measure up in strength or importance of the other types of materia.

 

[Aztec Triogal]

Exactly. Same reason there was no blue huge materia... because a Master Support Materia would have made the game ridiculously easy. I did love me some blue materia though... powerful stuff...

There is blue materia, it gives you bahamut zero when you prod it in bugenhagens litle thingy majig that you store it in

It might make the game easier, but there's no reason why there shouldn't have been a huge purple one really, even if it got destroyed for whatever reason so you could'nt use it, after all, the others have a huge one

true but it all comes down to what makes a game easy with some challenge, and what makes the game just down right simple.

but i do believe that they could have at least alluded to it so you can know why you wouldnt get a nice big purple materia...well maybe they could have made it a special item after you beat the WEAPONs from the traveler's wife...because if you can beat the WEAPONs, the game has already become pretty easy.

You know what? Shush! So I forgot you got a summon from a huge support materia. I remembered there wasn't any blue master materia. Furthermore, you mispelled Hojo as Hoho... so... you can just go suck a rock. /pout

actually in order to recieve Bahamut ZERO you need to examine all of the huge materia, and not in any specific order, so you could recieve B-ZERO from the command or magic huge materia as well, its just random order of examination, so you could get it from any of them.

@Aztec: suck a rock? lol, that would be interesting.

>.> I'm having a rough day here with my favorite game. I thought you were off killing someone! *checks mood thread* Yep, it says right here that you were gonna.

Did they ever say how they made huge materia? Other than "in a reactor"? I know it was 330 times more powerful than regular materia though...

 

[Bambi]

Oh right, I must be proper predictable then, because I get it from the blue one evrytime xD

Actually, no thinking about it, when I was examining them, I examined the red one last and I defo got it from the blue one -shrugs-

*after looking on google

You need to have Bahamut & Neo Bahamut in your possession and all of the huge materias, then all you need to do is touch the blue one. Doesn't matter about whether you touch the others

That's about all I remember...that and I think that Scarlet bird said something runs off huge materia.....if it's the reactors, then there DEFO should be more than four......

@materia sequence: hmmmm....it only works when i examine them all, and it works with no particular order too....weird.

@Scarlet's idiocy: she says that reactors produce huge materia through a special compression process, and that it can give reactors special strengths(not 100% about that), or something. also she says that it would help to run the ultimate weapon if gathered...which is rather weird.

@the more huge materia idea: you actually have a really good point on that. considering there is like 13 or so reactors (Midgar 1-8, Fort Condor, Nibelheim, Gongaga, Corel, Underwater), there should be 13 chunks of huge materia...hmmm...weird. that kinda implies that there are 13 catagories of materia, which would have been awesome.

@Aztec: i wont comment on that. if i do it would cost me 25-life. lol.

I think the Huge Materia was formed at the largest reactors, or those in areas where more mako gathered...
Why four? 4 is a nice number. Remember the plot at this point swapped breifly from the main character (Cloud) and story for a while, and had other party members take the reigns of party leader and search for the Huge Materia. Having too many to have to look for would have slowed the plot down significantly.
They had to make that bit last long enough, but any longer and it might have dragged on a bit too much for some people, even though they fitted it in with the plot and general happenings anyway.
