I agree that this really wouldn't unbalance the game. It would unbalance it in the same way it unbalanced FFX, by the time you got to breaking 9999, you were too strong for anything in game anyway. I wish they had made VII harder than they did... it's too easy to hold X through every regular battle.... 4x cut and KoTR are too OP.... I mean yea, KoTR is harder to get, but still. And the master materia are kinda... wow.
