I've played games with a LOT less storage than FFXI offers. Personally, I think it's rather generous...

The only real reason why FFXI suffers more from storage issues than these other games is its sheer scope. Being able to level up every job in the game will undoubtedly lead to huge issues with gear for all of them piling up. That they've added so many storable armour sets and items shows they're working hard to fix the majority of these issues for us.

Let's at least keep things a bit civil for now.
