(1r) REVISIONS
==============

[ 0.5.0 -- April 3, 2008 ]

- Converted all fan-translated Status, Materia, Item, and Parameter names to
  the official English ones.  Due to this, some of the layout may be a bit
  messed up.  Rest assured, I'm working on cleaning things up. :3
- Added info to some Materia in (1m) MATERIA LIST.
- Added two more rules to (2f) BASIC RULES OF FUSION.
- Corrected and greatly expanded on the item fusion rule in (2f).
- For some reason, Energy was missing in the Fusion List (6f) so that's been
  put in now.

- Reduced the version numbers since, at the rate I'm updating, I'm going to
  end up with something like version 20 or 21 alpha before fully completing
  the guide. :P
- Completed the Fusion List (6f).  So now, fans can go wild fusing without
  worrying of accidentally using up "rare" Materia.

[ 2.0 alpha -- December 2, 2007 ]

- Swapped 4f and 5f around since it didn't seem to make sense to have the
  Grade List BEFORE the Product List.
- Filled in all the cost & description info and whether or not a Materia can
  be obtained through fusion for the Materia List in (1m).
- Completed the Grade List (5f).
- 6 classes now have complete equations and results in the Materia Product

  ly complete.

(2r) READ ME FIRST
==================
   
This section contains important info about this file!  Please read this
thoroughly before e-mailing since if your questions are answered in this file,
I will *NOT* reply.

1)  I am NOT affiliated with Square Enix.  I am merely a fan of their works
    and as such, it should be noted that this guide is a non-profit, fan-made
    piece of work.  It is all right to post this at your site but it is NOT
    all right to modify it in any way, sell it, or to claim ownership over
    it.

2)  This guide was initially written before the English version of the game
    came out.  I have since changed all the fan-translated Materia, Item,
    and Parameter names to the official ones.  However, I left in some origi-
    nal Japanese text for the benefit of those playing the Japanese version
    (plus it's more work than it's worth to remove all the kanji and kana.
    :P)

3)  For the charts, you may want to consider printing them out on separate
    sheets of paper since it'll make for more easy reading and referencing
    than scrolling up and down on the computer screen.

4)  It really helps if you know the basic mechanics of the game before per-
    using this file -- specifically, HOW to equip and use Materia.

5)  The items and accessories in this guide only list their grade level and
    the quantity required for fusion.  Since this is NOT an items and/or
    accessories guide, I WILL NOT go into detail as to WHAT they do and WHERE
    you can find them.  Please refer to other guides for that information.
    
6)  DO NOT write to me asking for the easiest way to get Zack's defense up to
    255 or anything to that effect.  You will be wasting your time since the
    purpose of this guide is to GIVE YOU the knowledge to achieve what you
    want from Materia fusions.  Whether there are shortcuts or not, go dis-
    cover them yourself.
    
7)  To see the gibberish text in this file, you'll have to switch your brow-
    ser's character encoding to Japanese Shift-JIS or use a text editor capa-
    ble of displaying Shift-JIS.

8)  My e-mail address is at the top of this document underneath the title. To
    e-mail me, substitute the ~AT~ and ~DOT~ with their respective symbols.
    Corrections, additions, critiques, and compliments are welcomed.

(1m) MATERIA LIST 
==================

Materia are your ticket to success in this game.  Of course, you CAN go
through the entire game without equipping any but why be so masochistic?
With Materia, you can cast magic, use special skills, enhance stats, and a
whole lot more which makes your life and Zack's life a heck of a lot easier
in the long run.

There are a total of 143 obtainable Materia in the game and they are divided
onto 4 categories:  Magic, Command, Independent, and Support.

Magic type Materia can be offensive, restorative, or defensive.  Their colours
are dark green, green, yellow respectively.

Command Materia enable Zack perform various physical techniques as well as
allow him to steal and hurl money at enemies.  Contrary to what you might
think, the money being chucked at enemies is used to hurt them, not pay them.
These Materia are bronze and gold in colour.

The third category is Independent Materia.  They come in two shades of purple
and these ones help Zack by either boosting his stats, grant him the ability
to double cast magic, increase his running speed around the battlefield, or
make certain DMW reels appear more often.

Finally, there are Support Materia (dark and light blue).  Most of these
consist of attacking with or defending against status effects and attributes
as well as SP expenditure to help with offense and defense.  Oh, the Materia
that lets you peep at the enemy's HP is also in this group.

Notes!
- The following list will be the only time you will see the Japanese names

- All Materia are listed in their default arrangements in the Materia menu.
  So, sorry, no alphabetical order. :P

Hammer Punch | ハンマーパンチ | AP
----------------------------------
Description:  A punch that does not take enemy defense into
              consideration.  Consumes AP.  The more AP Zack has,
              the greater the damage.  Note that some enemies
              are immune or take no damage from this.

Costly Punch | すてみパンチ | ATK (力)
-------------------------------------------
Description:  Like the three punches above, enemy defense means
              nothing.  Consumes HP.  Will increase in damage the
              lower Zack's HP is.

              This Materia is also a bit of a gamble though as
              once Zack's HP reaches 1.11 times above his cur-
              rent maximum HP, he will do 0 damage.  So basi-
              cally, anytime HP goes into BREAK mode, just let
              Zack take a beating so his health goes back to
              or below the max HP and he'll dish out major
              damage.
              
              If HP is in BREAK outside of battle, unequip Ma-
              teria or accessories that are boosting HP to bring
              his hitpoints back down.  Remember to re-equip them
              though. :P

(1f) INTRODUCTION TO MATERIA FUSION
===================================

Isn't it strange how the game doesn't give a thorough tutorial of Materia fu-
sion?  Yes, it's obvious that it's about mashing two Materia together to get a
new Materia.  Well, that's one aspect of it.  The other part of it is combi-
ning two Materia and an item as a means to boost stats.  In fact, doing fu-
sion with items is the ONLY way to max out Zack's stats; getting him to level
99 means almost nothing.

But what determines the result you get?  Why is it that sometimes a seemingly
completely unrelated Materia ends up as the final product?  How the heck does
one boost the stat on Costly Punch or change it into another stat?  Why does
the parameter change even when an item isn't used?

This following sections strive to explain the concepts used to figure how syn-
thesis works so players can minimize the amount of guesswork and trial and
error.

However, before any mixing should be done, it'd be a good idea to familiarize
yourself with the fundamentals:

1)  Surely, you don't need to know that, to fuse, you need to go to the
    マテリア合成 (Materia Fusion) menu, select one Materia to put in the first
    Materia slot and another Materia to put in the second Materia slot and
    then choose 決定 (it literally means "decision"), do you?

2)  Before committing to a fusion, you get a preview of the result as well as
    your current SP and the amount of SP required to do the synthesis.  If you
    lack the needed SP, the game will flag you.  If that happens, convert some
    Materia into SP (from the Materia menu) or sic Zack on some Movers and
    their relatives.  (See FAQ [Q3] in regards to enemies that reward you with
    oodles of SP.)
    
    To cancel the process, simply choose いいえ (No) or hit the X button.
    Otherwise, select はい (Yes).
    
3)  The Item slot will never appear until you obtain the key item, Item Fusion
    Tome (アイテム合成の書), from mission 7-2-1.  Do this simply by defeating
    the mission boss.
    
    And when the slot does appear, it'll be under the two Materia ones.
    
4)  A newly produced Materia will appear in the first available line in the
    Materia inventory.

Now with all that out of the way, you'll need to understand some terms before
proceeding further into this guide!

Materia Level = The level of an individual Materia.  It can be from level 1
                to Master (or level 5).  

                An increase in a level occurs when either two or all three DMW
                reels display the exact same number.  This number MUST corre-
                spond with the Materia slot the Materia is equipped in.  For
                example, Cure is in the second slot and the reels show 212,
                221, 122, or 222.  If two numbers are the same, the Materia
                will level up once.  If all three numbers are the same, the
                Materia levels up twice.
                
                A level up also occurs when the Moogle summon ability, Moogle
                Power, happens.  In this instance, ALL equipped Materia are
                affected and they level up the number of times indicated by
                the level of the summon.  Example~ Level 5 Moogle Power maxes
                out all Materia to Master level.
                
                The benefits of levelling is that Materia increase in power
                and the parameter -- whether default or modified -- attached to
                them also increase which gives Zack some helpful boosts in his
                stats.
                
                In Materia fusion, the level of the resulting Materia will
                only change if a new Materia is formed.  The level will be 1.
                Otherwise, if the Materia that comes out of a combining pro-
                cess is the same as one of the Materia that was used, the
                level will remain the same.
                
Materia Grade = A grade is what the game uses to weigh the "value" of one
                Materia against another.  The scale is from grade 1 (lowest)
                to grade 8 (highest).  Understanding this is vital in properly
                obtaining the results you want.  See (5f) GRADE LIST.
                
Materia Class = This is different than the categories in that all like-Materia
                are further divided into smaller groups; that is, all restora-
                tive Materia are grouped together, all Punch-type Materia are
                in their own little clique, etc.  See (3f) MATERIA CLASSES.
                
Now we are ready to move onto the rules!

(2f) BASIC RULES OF MATERIA FUSION
==================================

Although the grades of each Materia have not been shown yet, still try and
understand these concepts as they will help you make sense of the sections
4f and 5f.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!                                                                           !
! 1.  The placement of the Materia has no effect on the outcome UNLESS they !
!     both are of the same grade AND level.                                 !
!                                                                           !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fiddle around with some combinations and various levels and you will see
some differences!

In the following examples, both Materia are of grade 2 but same level:

  Silence Blade Lv. 1
+ Drain Lv. 1
  -------------------
  Osmose Blade Lv. 1
  
Now let's reverse the positions of the fusion Materia.

  Drain Lv. 1
+ Silence Blade Lv. 1
  -------------------
  Drain Lv. 1
  
Do note that there are Materia that will never retain their traits such as
those in the Other class.  In such a case, placement is ignored and rule #3
comes in effect.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!                                                                           !
! 2.  If the grades are the same between both Materia but their levels are  !
!     different, then the higher level Materia will be the base.            !
!                                                                           !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's use Silence Blade and Drain again for conveninece's sake.

  Silence Blade Lv. 4
+ Drain Lv. 1
  -------------------
  Osmose Blade Lv. 1
  
And by flipping the two Materia around, we get ...
  
  Drain Lv. 1
+ Silence Blade Lv. 4
  -------------------
  Osmose Blade Lv. 1
  
These examples simply show that Silence Blade Lv. 4 was always the determinant
regardless of whether it was on the top slot or the bottom slot in the fusion.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!                                                                         !
! 3. The higher grade Materia serves as the base between the two Materia  !
!    and is the determinant of the product.                               !
!                                                                         !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
This is the probably the most ultilized rule outsince chances are, much of
the fusion that players do will consist of Materias of the same level but
of different grades.

Easiest way to visualize this is to conjure up demented, illogical math equa-
tions such as 2 + 1 = 2 or 7 + 4 = 7 or 6 + 5 = 6.  These numbers symbolize
grade levels.

Basically, the general rule of thumb is that the Materia you get from any
union will have the same grade as the highest grade Materia that was used.
Once you start throwing in Master Materia and items though ...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!                                                                           !
! 4. If the level of one of the two Materia is at Master level, the product !
!    grade will increase by 1. If both are Master Materia, then the grade   !
!    will increase by 2.                                                    !
!                                                                           !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using the highly illogical equations again as examples, we can view this rule
as this.  Keep in mind that the numbers are grades not levels:

Master 2 + 1 = 3 -- In this example, a merging with level 1 - 4 Materia would
                    have resulted in a grade 2.  But because there was a Mas-
                    ter level Materia involved, the product grade was in-
                    creased by 1.

Master 1 + Master 3 = 5 -- The product would have been 3 if no Master levels
                           were involved.  Due to the fact that both Materia
                           were at their max levels, the 3 becomes a 5 since
                           the end grade is boosted by 2.

Master 7 + Master 4 = 8 -- Remember that 8 is the maximum grade.
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!                                                                         !
! 5. An item grade can determine the maximum grade of the resulting Mate- !
!    ria.                                                                 !
!                                                                         !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What this means is that if an item is used during a fusion, the product's
grade can increase if the grade of both Materia are lower than the item.
However, if the grade of either Materia is higher than that of the item's,
then the item grade is ignored.

But!  This isn't as straight forward as any of the above rules!  The trick
with item fusion is that for every quantity of 1 added to the item, the
grade of the resulting Materia is increased by 1 until its grade matches
that of the item's grade.

Example A:

1) MBarrier + Gravity + 1x Mythril Armlet = Elemental Ward
2) MBarrier + Gravity + 2x Mythril Armlet = Elemental Ward
3) MBarrier + Gravity + 3x Mythril Armlet = Elemental Ward
4) MBarrier + Gravity + 4x Mythril Armlet = Wall

Explanation:

MBarrier is a grade 3 Defensive Materia
Gravity is a grade 2 Gravity Materia
Mythril Armlet is a grade 7 item

Obviously, the item had the highest grade so it influenced the outcome.

Aside from the grade level, the Materia classes also played a role in 
this.  For the example above, it was Defensive class + Gravity class + 
Item = Defensive Class.  (Don't worry -- you'll get a better understanding
of all this in the sections that follow.)

So why all the Elemental Wards and Wall then?  Here are the reasons:

1)  3 + 2 + 7 = 3 (+ 1) which resulted in a grade 4 Defensive Materia.
2)  3 + 2 + 7 = 3 (+ 2) which resulted in a grade 5 Defensive Materia.
3)  3 + 2 + 7 = 3 (+ 3) which resulted in a grade 6 Defensive Materia.
4)  3 + 2 + 7 = 3 (+ 4) which resulted in a grade 7 Defensive Materia.

Note that the product grade actually remained 3 as if the item was never
part of the equation.  However, which each subsequent addition of an
Mythril Armlet, the rank grew by 1.

I stopped the example with 4 Mythril Armlets because even if you cram 5,
6, or 99 of them into the fusion, you'll always get a Wall since it's a grade
7 Materia which is equal to the item's rank.

Now, had there been no Mythril Armlet, the Materia that would have come out
of the MBarrier and Gravity union would be an MBarrier since the calculation
would have been 3 + 2 = 3.

When Master Materia are involved in item fusion, an additional grade is
added ON TOP of the increase an item may give.

Example B:

1) Master Barrier + Gravity + 1x Mythril Armlet = Elemental Ward

This is 2 + 2 + 7 = 2 (+1+1) as the item added 1 grade and so did the
Master rank.  Due to this, a grade 4 Defensive Materia was produced.

Had it been just a plain old Barrier instead of the Master Barrier, the
end result would have been MBarrier, a grade 3 Defensive Materia as there
would be no extra grade increase.

To gain a more thorough understanding of the determinants, check sections
3f through 5f.

Now with all that out of the way, I bring you the unfortunate news that
there are two items that make things even MORE complicated as they actually
each have their own little class.   These items are the Elixir (Restorative
class) and the Phoenix Down (HP class).

What does this mean for you?  Well, after all that mumble jumble above, you
probably need a breather so I won't get into the quirks of the Elixir and
Phoenix Down until (8f) ITEMS & ACCESSORIES.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
!                                                                            !
! 6.  Full Cure, Dualcast, Dash, and all DMW Materia will NEVER retain       !
!     their original properties.                                             !
!                                                                            !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you ever try to synthesize these, they will always become a different Mate-
ria altogether.  Terrible, isn't it?

(3f) MATERIA CLASSES
====================

Note that this list of the 32 Materia classes is meant to be used in conjunc-
tion with the Materia Product List since simply knowing the classes and base
grades used in fusing isn't enough for successful mixing.

These base grades are used in the fusion equation only to determine the
weight/value of one Materia to another Materia.  It does not represent the on-
ly possible grades in each class.  Almost every class has Materia assigned to
each grade level from 1 to 8.  See (5f) GRADE LIST.

(5f) GRADE LIST
===============

As shown in the list of Materia classes (3f), each and every Materia class has
Materia for most grades.  But what of all the grades everything in between?
This section will list all grades and their Materia of each class.  Note that
unlike the chart in (3f) where the grades there are used to determine bases in
an equation, what you see here are the grades of Materia products.

Yeah, things would be a lot simplier if it were one unique Materia to each
rank but then, you'd have a billion more useless Materia in the game and I'm
sure most players wouldn't appreciate that. :P

Now, this Grade List can't exactly be used by itself since it's like Jeopardy!
-- that is, all you'll be looking at is a bunch of answers.  The question part
of this is formed by consulting section (4f) MATERIA PRODUCT LIST and maybe
(3f) too until you get familiar with the classes and the Materia that belong
to each.

To really get the point across, here are some examples of why you need the
two previous sections:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example #1:  Firaga + Drain = Drainra
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reasons:  Grade 5 + Grade 2 = Grade 5
          Fire Class + Absorb Magic = Absorb Magic
          
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example #2:  Master Mug + MBarrier = Gil Toss
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reasons:   Grade 6 + Grade 3 = Grade 7 (because the Master adds 1 grade level
                                        to the highest grade)
           Item + Defensive = Item
           
It should be obvious that you would have never been able to know the results
of either fusion without knowing the combinations and also the grade of the
Materia produced.

So now, at last, you are ready to peruse the chart!

How to read:
-----------------------------
Class | (Grade) Materia Name
-----------------------------

Note!!!! There will be some classes where there will an N/A next to the rank
number.  This is due to the fact that there is no Materia assigned to it.

(6f) FUSION LIST
================

This section contains the formulas for all the Materia that can be created
through fusion.

I still recommend that players try and understand the whys and hows of crea-
ting Materia so they won't go mad looking for a particular Materia in a recipe
while another one in inventory could have easily substituted it.  Afterall,
for many Materia, what you see below are just some of the *possible* combina-
tions.

So if you understand the class equations from the product list as well as
Materia grades, you can actually figure out all the possible mixtures yourself.
(It'll be a bit time-consuming though. ^^)

About the chart:
- Like the Materia List, the order of the Materia are listed as they appear
  in the Materia menu (after auto-arranging).
- (M) indicates Master level.  In an equation where there is only one (M),
  please note that EITHER Materia can be at Master level.
