I see a lot of requests for gobbie bags and items for the Mog House.. But here is my suggestion.

Hopefully I get a few people will rate this up and start a decent conversation about it.

Why don't we split up the safe / Storage / locker / and all that and allow for shelves so we can easily drop items and keep them sorted

For instance, a shelf for crystals, one for equipment, one for crafting, one for house decorations, and so forth.

House decorations shouldn't be a penalty against you.. Managing inventory is already hard enough. I've seen some amazing houses only to realize the toll it takes on their mog safe.

Small things like crafting should be accessible like the Mog Sack, stuff like equipment should be like the safe and you must go to the Mog House to get stuff out. Also along the lines of the equipment, allow us to group equipment.

So if I want to withdrawal my bard outfit, I can just select that group and not have to go hunting for each item.

Stuff that can be stacked, like crystals, should be able stack to 99 when they're in the moghouse. Things that can't be stacked should be stackable to 12 or something.

Bag items should also be sorted, I carry a stack of prism powder, silent oil, deodorizer and food buffs everywhere I go, it'll be nice to have that in a quick side for buffs / healing items. Equipment also in its own side items. That way while we're out and about, we can easily grab stuff when we need it.

I'm not asking for bigger space, just minimizing the space everything takes while stored and putting them in categories for easier maintenance.

If you don't like it, just post bad idea and move on. This is just my opinion and would like for people to expand on it and hopefully have a good debate and get SE involved.

-- EDIT: Sorry for the jumble of everything sorta working on the company database as I typed this.. :)
Also, for whoever gives me a thumbs up I'll send them a google+ invite..

I think somebody suggested a method very similar to this in one of the numerous threads. Basically a word for macros or a sorting method that you customize. So say if you want to sort by keyword "Paladin" the inventory will pull every item you have tagged with "Paladin" (armor, tools, food, etc) from your mog locker, satchel, storage and put it in your inventory replacing items that aren't tagged with the key word.

I think that would be amazing for all the management problems but the other problem is still space.

Space will be cleared up with stacking items to 99 for anything that is already set to stack to 12. Also, items that aren't meant to stack, such as Sandy flour, will be stacked to at least 12. This will clear up a lot of space for people.

I actually made a similar thread suggesting some of the same things: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forums/286#threads/4058?p=56745%23post56745

Yeah, I seen that one, I figured I'd expand more on the Mog house and how they can improve the storage.
