Suggestions for the retainer interface (With mockup pictures)

I like the idea, it looks great for a mouse but horrible for a controller.
Also, all menu have size scaling options, lets assume your proposal is 100% view, what would it look like on a 14" laptop monitor? What would it look like at 180% size increase?

You don't think it would work with a controller? I don't see why it would be much worse than navigating the current character window. It's structurally divided into columns (You could have the "Confirm" button below the "Reassign" button to get rid of horizontal navigation within the second column) and it has one set of tabs, which is within the the inventory grid column, and those have separate navigation shortcuts.

The size of the window is the same as the character window with the gear set list window open next to it.

With that said, I think alot of the UI would greatly benefit from being more responsive and resizeable, like the height of the market listings window or the quest log

Nice! I dream with that day !!!
SE needs improvement our QoL

You would have thought this would be common sense when designing a game...it ceratinly would have been to me.
Agree with op!!
gj

Many ppl have suggested streamlined and effecitent ui changes, mb changes etc...playing for 1 hr , the changes needed are evident, I cant fathom why designers cant do this right from the get go lol

I love it. If there are limitations preventing this at least SE could fix some of the low hanging fruits like re-assign all retainers ventures and collect all gil.

Originally we only had 2 retainers though, and I think it works fine with few retainers. It just doesn't scale well when we can buy more.

I really wish SE would take these suggestions and implement them. Such a QoL upgrade

I like the suggestions overall, but I think I'd rather separate retainer inventory into its own window so that we can eliminate the need for inventory tabs entirely and instead display the entire inventory of a single retainer at once. Then add tabs to that window that display the inventory of your other retainers so that you can easily move items around. Additionally, under such a design the sort button should work to consolidate all stacks between your retainers, unless the retainer is designated as to be ignored. There should also be a way to designate retainers as being for materials, furnishings, whatever, that will make sort prefer to either move certain items into their inventories or out of their inventories.

would love that gjgj!!

Would add a typeable "search all retainers" area. Current right click on an item only to search retainers is far too limiting.
I would like an area to type in complete/partial searches like the mb has

I was discussing an idea like this recently, and a friend sent me over the link to this post and it's good to see that I wasn't alone in my thinking! I feel like an interface such as this really gives us a way to see multiple retainer specs at a glance, and now that SE doesn't have to worry about PS3 limitations, I feel like this could get implemented if given enough time. I also made sure to share your post concerning this on tumblr as well to boost awareness! I would LOVE to see something like this in game, so fingers crossed that this gets recognized! :D
