There’s no right or wrong way to hook them up.
O Folio, Where Art Thou?

If your memory is razor-sharp, you might never need this, but frankly, ours isn’t.
It can be hard to determinewhich Materia to use inyour limited slots per piece of equipment.
Keep an eye out forlinked Materia slots.
We’ve had a great time with Materia that lets party membersuse abilities and spells on their own.
