Two of the same materia on one weapon?

[Chrisern]

If I choose to have two of the same materia on one weapon, will they stack their effects? Or is it just a waste? Will the AP i get from killing monsters be divided between the two materia, or how does this work?

they dont stack, there are Link Slots on Equipment to add bonuses to specific materias

having 4 cure materias is nice way to lv up 4 cure matrias same time, but 3 of them are pointless in combat

More useful a materia on each character, Only time having both the same materia might be useful is if you've linked them to other materias while I've not tried it, potential combinations that may work is having healing linked to magnify and another linked to, can't remember its name but it costs less mP, I haven't tried it but it may give the effect of magnify and mp reduction per cast at the same time as different combinations like that worked in the OG but I'm not sure how in depth the materia system actually is here.

It's called 'Magic Efficiency' or something like that.

I'm not even sure if it would work, just a possibility.

Link a up level materia with any other materias will immediately upgrade it to 1 level up. I link it to prayer materia and basically, I am always full health came out from any encounter beside the boss fight.

No, but you could do it just to level them all, and I think you also might get specific character stat increases from each one equipped, but there are caps.

If you want to boost the damage of materia link it with a magnify materia. Another cool Materia combo is elemental with combo materias on cloud. It will empower his sword with elemental magic damage.

I can confirm from testing that if you have the same materia multiple times, linked to different enhancements, they will ALL work. I never would have figured this out on my own, but apparently it's a key strategy for Hard Mode. I.e. Fire + Magnify, Fire + Magic Efficiency, Fire + MP Damage (or whatever it's called) will result in Fire/Fira/Firaga having ALL the effects at once, magnified, efficient, and return MP for damage. The possibilities are pretty shocking and almost OP, but somewhat balanced by the fact that all the Fire materias (in this example) take up so many slots. Very cool... and a nod to how OP the OG let you make characters!

This is true is would give you additional attribute points from the materia.

Do forget the absorbition or whatever, where when you use that element it heals you.

But do you link them, or are they just next to each other?
