Expanding Inventory Space

[Zhronne]

The mog mail and Auction houses aren't loaded until they are accessed.

The Auction House is handled by a different "server" within the architecture of each FFXI world though. Dunno if it would be technically possible to do that.
Dunno about the Mog mail but it's likely it uses the same server.
I do agree though that they should be thinking out of the box more than they did so far (or than they gave us the impression so far)

One question I do have regarding storage- were there or is there any plans to be able to store empyrean armor seals and +2 items with an npc? Personally this would alleviate a lot of my inventory woes.

[Zhronne]

Having porter moogle accessible from inside the MH is not a definitive solution, but it's a nice compromise at least.
Correct if I'm wrong though, currently the FFXI Inventory is structured with this scheme

A + B

B is the normal player inventory and it can hold up to 120 items, 80 normal ones and 40 temporary ones.
A is a "dynamic" inventory and it can be any of many other repositories (Mog House, Storage, Mog Locker, Satchel, Sack etc).

My question is: shouldn't "A" be able to hold up to 120 items as well? But since there are no temporary items there, maybe we could get 120 slots for "real" items?
Also, two further questions for Mr. Akihiko Matsui:

Some of you guys almost promised you would have made "Storage" accessible from all Mog Houses and not just from your home town. Any plan to make that change happen?
And if adding a new Sack/Satchel item could be a problem when characters are zoning in and out, why not making it like the "Mog Locker" added in the ToAU expansion? I'm sure many of us would consider it a really acceptable compromise to have another 80 inventory spaces, even if you can access them only from your mog house.

Storage is really becoming an issue for me once again as I level more jobs. I like the Producer's suggestions. Coupled with a few more changes, we could have a decent update:

• Access Porter Moogle from Mog House. I know I'd use it more often if it were in the house.
• Access Storage from any Mog House / Nomad Moogle.
• Quest to permanently unlock Mog Locker.
• Moogle Whistle: Summons your house Mog. Access to all storage bins in the field. No job change/delivery options. Works like Magian Specs.

I'll take whatever help I can get. Thank you very much for attempting to help.

I always want larger inventory because some jobs have much higher inventory than others. My main job is still RDM and I could use around 10 more inventory. I usually don't have more than 5 slots for drops and that is after I remove a set like damage taken or slim down multiple other sets. It can get very tedious and often times I just throw things on the ground instead of taking the time to sell them.

I'm sure making another 2 gobbie bag quests won't happen because the max that can be achieved right now is 80, but I would appreciate it if was addressed eventually because it would do more for me, to have 10 extra inventory on my person than another 80 as storage.

More inventory is nice. We definitely appreciate it.
The ability to use Storage Slips in your Mog House is also lovely.

Also, a suggestion for the future:
Please give us new gear that can replace multiple pieces of old gear.
An example? For DNC you might use Dancer's Casaque for the Waltz Potency, and Etoile Casaque for the Violent Flourish effect. You could easily make a new piece that has both of these effects on it, and maybe more, and I would attempt to obtain it.

I'd also like to see a better way to use slips, maybe job slips?
I currently go through...6 slips, I believe, to fully bring out my DNC gear if I was on a completely unrelated job. That's just not acceptable. In comparison, I'd love to see a slip that could store every piece of AF, Relic, Empy, Nyzul, Salvage, etc that DNC COULD WEAR. You could keep your old Slips, and still make "Storage Slip DNC". It shouldn't really matter to you guys whether someone stores them with one slip option or the other, and imo would be more convenient without getting out of hand.

Also, a suggestion for the future:
Please give us new gear that can replace multiple pieces of old gear.

Words can't express how much I want that. I've basically stopped going after new gear, because they're just sidegrades that offer some functionality without completely replacing other pieces. And seeing how I'm already more than capped on all possible inventories, there's very little incentive for me to pursue it for no visible gain.

I'm happy about an additional mog backpack/basket/tupperware container. Porter service in MH is nice too.

I'm throwing my vote to more space in each bag though. Having to slim down optimal sets is heartbreaking. In lieu of more physical slots, I'd actually prefer Kari's suggestion of items with combinations of stats and effects. For example, a quest to combine all obis or magian damage staves once you've obtained all 8.

[Zhronne]

Item solidification would be a nice inventory saver (all sea gorgets in one, all belts in one, all torques in one, all elemental obis in one) but in the long run it wouldn't really change that much I'm afraid.

Not saying I wouldn't like it (I WOULD!), just that it wouldn't really make that huge difference on me.
