Why don't we just have more inventory space?
Give us another Mog Sack. Or two. Or three. I don't even care if they call it a Mog Purse, Mog Wallet, Mog European Shoulderbag.
It's been done before, so it must be simple to implement.
Let's discuss this seriously. What are your opinions and thoughts?

Just implement bags like in WoW, have several different bags but can be viewed all as one giant bag so you don't go searching through 4-5 different bags to find say a piece of sushi or a pizza?? Seeing as how people will just want more and more space that is.

03-08-2011, 09:23 PMPrefalinnot much "PS2 limitations" to it c.c the bags are already there as is they just aren't able to be viewed/used as one whole bag...and if i remember correctly WoW only gets like 5-6 bags including inventory and XI is already at 3 with more on the way...so yeah no "PS2 limitations" about it. Or simpler put, the bags are there already they just need to be made accessible as one bag verse individual bags which since they are accessible via individually they should be able to be accessible via being one whole bag without "PS2 limitations" getting in the way.Quote:

i'm not a guru of ffxi but i have clearly read that ps2 have some limit of screen space that can be used, mostly i suppose for the limited resolution.
and i dont know if its true or not, but the 80 item limit must been due to some tech issue. -

PS2---- just make new content available for PC and Xbox....leave the PS2 version locked with it's current content. Expansion could continue with the other 2 platforms then.
Implement secondary housing, with all new storage system in it. Have quests for the storage pieces to use in it. You could charge a rental for the storage housing like the lockers, but make it moghouse like. -

Personally my main problem is with all the abyssea seals I'm hoarding up for all my jobs. ^^; How come we can't have more magian trials open at the same time? That would perhaps fix that problem. -

03-08-2011, 09:47 PMGokuloActually the whole limitation thing is that they can't make all that space accessible like that. If they could then there was no reason to actually separate it into bags.Quote:

I'd be happy if we could just access storage from any mog house, or nomad moogle. I've pretty much avoided using furniture on my main character because I'm rarely in Windy. It sucks storing something, and then realizing that you need it, and have to make an unnecessary trip to your home nation. Granted getting home isn't as time consuming as it once was, but I'd still rather be playing the game, than having to go out of my way to get prepared.

Make the Mog House bigger! Add a couple of few rooms (perhaps through quests/NM hunting as per Synthetic Atma and gil expenditure or crafting).
Enable us to store Ex items in it on an unlimited basis.
Share this expanded house with all characters on the account (compliments the forthcoming Ex item sharing w/chars on yr account).
Be able to put weapons/armour on racks around the place as standard (without having to buy mannequins, or have them take up so much floorspace).
Overall furniture placement limited by visible floorspace rather than take up slots in the Mog House (bearing in mind that you'd still have to balance out your Moghancements).
idk, I just feel a little cooped up being a champion of Vana'Diel and having such a small room :)
Also, slightly sad that the majority of my event furniture sits in the event item storer. -

Very true, Burmecia. I can feel your pain with the sack. I have almost over half of my sack inventory filled with job seals, and the other portion with various +2 items.
I also would like to see more Magian trial slots, but I suppose that is another time for another thread. ;)Quote:

I'm sure everyone is holding NM drops(ie: Carabose-Gems) for Magian weapon upgrades. Most us are considering tackling this quest. So we are collecting these items now. Many of these items can't be stored on the npc at least until you at are that point of the quest. The fact that they are not stackable, like the level 90 Magain items needed, is a area which can be easily addressed. Just make them stackable, it makes no sense that they're not.

Although it does seem like we should have plenty inventory space with the addition of the Mog Sack (and soon the ability to store more types of seals), I wouldn't mind another 80 slots.
I would also really love to see this happen. I have never really used the Mog House Storage except for misc. items such as seals, upgrade items, etc as it was a nuisance and a time sink to have to go all the way back to your nation each and every time you wanted something from the storage (even if it only really takes 5 minutes). Our moogles can warp back to the mog house for gardening, so why couldn't they do the same for storage items?Quote:

i feel that three inventory bags of 80 is enough for "in the field" access, However i would appreciate another "Mog House only" type of storage.
i think 240 spaces is more than enough to be able to access anywhere, lets not be greedy. Simply having another 80 in the mog house would allow you to empty out some of the "in the field" inventory bags and that would be enough to help everyone out im sure. -
03-08-2011, 11:57 PMShowmoYeah, I agree. Inventory, Satchel, and Mog Sack is more than enough for outside storage. Although I wouldn't decline more outside storage, I wouldn't mind having more mog house storage space as well.Quote:

Actually with all the new storage, i've never even come close to running out of mog house storage. However i like to carry around gear for 2 jobs, so i can switch jobs, and instantly leave the mh, and get gear while traveling where i'm going. This works very well for me, since i would mainly play two jobs, and often switch between them frequently, however the 180 slots, while it was enough for everything i needed, and then some, it didn't leave a ton of space for drops.

I just want more "Inventory" space too. RDM gear can easily max out Inventory space before you even attempt to put some melee gear in Inventory too, and there's no space left for meds, linkpearl, stuff that drops, etc.
I've never read this either. It would be nice to see a link to one of these statements.Quote:

Maybe a "Mog Suitcase" with 80 slots, which all gear swapping takes place from instead of from Inventory, and you just place all the gear (probably ammo too) that you have in your macros, or plan to equip manually, in this bag instead? -
03-09-2011, 12:35 AMrogThat could be done. The actual limit is 160, which is cut in half to 80, so it can display both inventory, and safe/locker/etc at once. This is why temp items work. The only coveat would be that it'd be impossible to transfer the equipment directly to safe/satchel/etc, and would need to be first transferred to your main inventory.Quote:

how about just upping them all to hold 99 instead of 80 even that would be enough space and if you think about some of the other ff games like 7 or 8 you could hold a max of 99 items till you were full yes we have mog safe,mog locker,storage,mog sac and mog satchel and if we had a few more gobi bag quests to up them to 99 then that should be more then enough as you can now store stuff via mog slips and npc's so i think se should just max storage at 99 like they will be doing with lv 99.

Think it'd be nicer if some stuff got their own inventory like the automaton parts get their own. While this in no way fixes our lack of storage space, it may alleviate it a bit.
Linkshells: Linkshells when used should then be added to the Linkshell menu instead of kept in inventory. From here depending on the person's authority within the shell (sackholder, etc.) the person may create new pearls, drop the pearl, switch to the pearl, or whatever normal options we have regarding pearls. The inventory pearl would be deleted and instead in our linkshell menu we'd just have our list of pearls that we've used. I know some people with multiple pearls for either socials or events and this would be a welcome addition.
Currency and seals: Ever see how we carry hundreds to millions of gil and it's all in a little text box? Why can't the other currencies be like this? I propose something similar to what I proposed for linkpearls for currency and seals. For these items, make them usable and when they are, ask for an amount to be used (for convenience) and then add it to a little text box. The current gil text box could have a drop down menu that allows to change currencies to view your current totals for what you'd like to see. Similarly, the trade and delivery box could have similar drop down menus for transferring of these items (the box menu would convert it to an item again automatically as it does with gil). Also allow for an option to re-make them into items for bazaaring purposes.
I'm sure there are situations I haven't thought off but this is just a proposal and would have to be tweaked as necessary. We need to think about different methods of alleviating our storage woes rather than just expanding the size and numbers of our bags (although I don't mind if they do so)! -
03-09-2011, 02:19 AMNeofireThat is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time lol, yea let's cut off 60% of our user base to easy a few babies crying about space lol.Quote:

"I haven't done enough research into the problem" is not an acceptable excuse for ignorance. That said, it wouldn't hurt to have an official statement from SE about this now that we've got forums we can link to and discuss these things on.
There's no real way of getting out of the two bag at a time limitation, but I would be very interested in yet another mog sack. And by 'interested in' I mean 'you could probably get your playerbase to debase themselves utterly for this'.
Edit: Maxing storage at 99 is impossible; 80 is the actual hard cap on per-bag storage.
Pagronith: That would be a good idea! I don't think it's actually feasible, though. They're running up against severe memory allocation problems, and I'm not sure they'd actually be able to add in a system like they use for Guild Marks in FFXIV, unfortunately. This would be amazing, though; imagine seeing all your cruor, ichor, assault points, and so on, in one menu. -
03-09-2011, 03:06 AMrogIt actually should be feasible. Linskhells definitely don't need to be an item. Seals can certainly be saved in such a way...seeing as beastmen/kindred seals already are with with whatshisface in port jeuno.Quote:

If you have temp items, and open your safe, the temp items are unloaded to make room in ram for the items in your safe, which is why you can't see them at same time. If you were willing to put up with such a limitation with equipment, they could in fact extend our inventory up to 160. However, temp items would still interfere with that. You can have a max of 50 temp items, leaving 30 slots left which could be used to effectively extend our inventory.
I certainly wouldn't get your hopes up, but it absolutely would be possible to extend our inventory by 30, while working within current ps2 limitations, and code. -
03-09-2011, 03:15 AMffxkenshin
More bags is find with me, inventory accessible anywhere would be nice, we do have our almighty Moogle working for us don't we @.@
PS2 limitation is 80 per bag, (non-techincally speaking). So just give us MORE 80 limit bags then =D
With all the rare/ex gear/item/seal/etc/etc why do big change like delivery of rare/ex to mule, storage slips, blah blah blah, just give more inventory bag, less trouble for SE to code I think, and less trouble for us player trying to remember where we put the stuff. (gear set NPC, porter moogle, event item npc, etc etc) -
03-09-2011, 03:30 AMKarumac
Give us the ability to choose which two bags are open as well. Sometimes I wanna move things from my Sack Satchel to my Locker or from Storage to Safe.

I for one would welcome a new storage option within the mog house exclusively limited to furnishings. Storage is great and all, but its a real burden that I can't freely decorate my mog house without sacrificing a vast amount of my mog safe storage in the process. With all the furnishings we have access to its awful that we have to sacrifice visual appeal for storage space. Sure, mog houses are for the most part shortly visited and rarely have visitors, but its nice to have a place to store the various trophies and odds and ends I've accumulated over the years.
