Welcome to Coffee Talk! Let’s start off the day by discussing whatever is on your (nerd chic) mind. Every morning I’ll kick off a discussion and I’m counting on you to participate in it. If you’re not feelin’ my topic, feel free to start a chat with your fellow readers and see where it takes you. Whether you’re talking about videogames, Demi Moore’s health problems, the Susan G Komen Foundation controversy, or Demi Lovato sexily licking a lollipop, Coffee Talk is the place to do it.
Based off a message I sent in the More-or-Less-Official RPad.TV Google+ Chat Room, I’ve been thinking a lot about materia. You know, those lovely magical balls (mind out of the gutter!) used in the world of Final Fantasy VII. If you could have one materia, what would it be and why? Would you go offensive? Maybe you’d like to summon Bahamut for afternoon tea chats? Or perhaps you’d like to heal you friends and family with restorative materia like Curaga or Esuna. Give it some thought and let me know your dream materia (please!).
As for me, I’m stuck on a pair of materia from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Initially I was thinking that Costly Punch would be the way to go; it would pretty much let me win any fight in a cheap and annoying way that would mentally scar my opponents. However, I’m more of a thief than a fighter. Mug materia would be much more useful to me. Being able to steal and hit at the same time would rule! In my head, Mug would work with friendly slaps too. My victims would lose valuable possessions (or more likely, Pez dispensers) after innocent pats on the back thanks to the deceptively awesome power of Mug!
So how about it? If you have one materia, what would it be and why?
Final attack materia linked with Phoenix
This makes me Immortal.
At first I thought "Ice" but then I thought about it a little more and realized that it wouldn't let me create a contiguous ice-slide out of thin air. So, I'll go with Knights of the Round.
What's better than having your own small army of tricked-out, magical knights on elaborately-clad space horses? Nothing! That's what.
-M
Having the materia that lets the next person repeat the last person's last action…..meaning duel Knights of the Round!!!
I thought you'd want get jiggy with Shiva.
In somewhat related new, I want a Siberian Husky named Shiva. My wife wants to not sneeze. Thus we are at an impasse……
You and me both.
-M
I don't think Mrs. "Iceman" would like that at all. Besides, getting jiggy with Shiva may be a bit hard to do when your jigger goes all "shrinky dink" on you because of the cold.
-M
WOAH, WOAH, WOAH. You wanna get jiggy with Shiva. You want a dog named Shiva. Anybody else sensing the problem here?
Is a "Master Magic" materia cheating? I mean it has all the green materia powers in one ball. If not, I'd totally go with that.
Nah, that's not cheating, but it's not the most fun choice either. :p
What, no Ultima? I think I'd go with Knights of the Round for above said statement by Iceman, lol. But I've always leaned towards white mage magic types, so Fullcure works too.
"All" Materia for multitasking purposes.
On a related note, you know the "Black Rage!!!" scene from Chasing Amy? I like to substitute "Black Mage!!!" in the scene. You know, because the man in FF is trying to keep the Black Mage down.

Am I allowed choosing the Murderous Thrust materia from Crisis Core? Because everybody knows not to screw with Tonberries.
Tonberries are definitely cool. I love that they're all issues lamps and knives.
Tonberries OHK any monster or party member ever created. They are the epitome of evil, and are INCREDIBLY difficult to deal with.
Id have to go with the Luck materia. Which in turn to letting me always win jackpots and hitting on stocks would allow me to also find an Odin materia. The occasional Zantetsuken could be handy. And with Luck it should happen often enough.
Luck is a fine choice. Love it!!!
Bah! I wanted to choose Luck!
I'll go with the time one because it will give the illusion that I have super speed.
Demi Lovato pic was a very pleasant surprise it seems like that girl has low self esteem if wanting to be viewed as sexy was the reason for the pic. I can't wait for the sex video!
