Suggestion: Increase Armoury chest/inventory

Armoury chest
Armoury tabs would be extremely helpful for players who need to manage their gear. Armoury tabs could be as detailed as having a different tab for Disciples of Magic, War, Hand, and Land, or simply combat and non-combat.

If it is really necessary, the size of each of the armoury tab could be reduced a little, but overall it would still be important to allow some extra space through the armoury tabs (since you would effectively have multiple armoury chests).

Inventory
Have a quest where players with a level 60 class/job (doesn't have to be combat) can increase their inventory space by an extra slot. The details aren't too important to discuss at a suggestion, but I think it's important to allow players the opportunity to expand their inventory. We can do this on so many other MMORPGs, and it's very important this MMORPG in particular with the access we have to everything.

I may not be up to date with recent discussions about this (I took a 2 - 3 month break for study), but continuing from a post I read a while back, I think it's important for FFXIV to increase our inventory slots and/or give us more space in our armoury chest.

I do not think it's fair to expect players to purchase another retainer, and I don't think it sets a good example of how SE responds to the community's issues.

(had to break my original post down into two thanks to the ridiculous 1,000 word character limit)

Inventory & Armour slots are not going to be increased. They have said that it simply cannot happen with how the game is currently coded & would require a complete change to the way the client & server communicate. The only thing that is possible is to use retainer space as it works in a different way. Ideally they should have given us at least one free retainer with Heavensward (as Yoshi suggested they would) but they realised they could easily monetise it.

Requesting an increase to our existing "on character" storage is just yelling into a void I'm afraid. It's not going to happen.

In FFXI they released the satchel in 2005? Which priced tagged at $29.99. It was an absolute must have.
Instant Success..
Devs get kudos for generating income, players buy into it because they can't object.

It appears they're planning on releasing new jobs... so if they care about the QoL of this game, they're going to have to increase the space one way or another. Otherwise they can't afford to release any new jobs because we simply do not have the space.

They can do it maybe not on equip storage as that would be big change, but adding another tab to FC safe, or even inventory or allowance of storing larger range of items in armoire.

I think something more beneficial would maybe decreasing the cost of retainers, maybe now that we have buy 6 instead just 2, maybe 1$ each instead 2$, or base it on how many you have, like subscription, buy 1 retainer pay 2$, buy 2 pay 1.75$ each, buy 6 1.25$,

in order to maximize your character inventory you basically have buy a 2nd subscription worth of retainers and atm actually buying a 2nd subscription, would net you more space, you'd just have make a crap tons alts and mail everything to yourself

6 retainers = 1050 slots(+12$/month)

2nd account: 8 alts + 2 free retainers each = 3600 slots(+12.99$/month*180d* + 10~20$ for ARR)*ARR price based on where and how you get it, HW not required*

of course you would have buy 2nd copy of game and pay slightly more but a whole lot more slots, and if you have PS4+PC or PS4/PC x2 you can have both accounts on same time.

or simply make alts on your own account but then you have mail to someone else and back to you, which is even more time....
7 alts + 2 free retainers = 3150 slots(free with standard account)

Believe it or not there are people who probably already do this, especially people who have family members who play as well

*all these prices are based on non-legacy standards*
