Lightning on the horizon (Lightning FFXIII event)

We should be able to store event items right away! Or at least shortly after...hehe SE, y u do this? They did this in FFXI too ^^; We weren't able to store event stuff for a good long while after it was out...

This is just plain stupid, so you make a event with no point and rewards that do nothing but take up limited storage space. So what is the motivation to do this event? can we vendor the items or are they going to be like the others that can not be stored or deleted?

All unique/untradeable drops need to be armorie storable in the future. Make this happen in sooner rather than later lol. I haven't got a crystal ball or anything but I don't really need one for obvious stuff like this.

I really don't have the space to store 10+ new vanity items. UPDATE THE ARMOIRE.

I have to agree with the current trend of thought on this. This is potentially a large amount of wasted inventory space for some players, where inventory size is already becoming a limiting factor. I, myself, already have a number of items that I cannot put away but don't want to discard (or in some cases, can't discard, like AF that I have "reacquired" having done them in v1.0). I have no issues with the actual items, or their overall uselessness, but having inventory arbitrarily reduced through items you can't store elsewhere isn't something any player is going to appreciate.

Event items need to be storable for those who want to collect them. Otherwise, partaking in these events is a choice between desire to collect the items and the desire to keep inventory clear from clutter.

...you can get a retainer that holds 170 items per retainer (you can get multiple retainers).

Which means, let's presume, that you can get three retainers: one each town.

That means you can have 510 places. And you guys are complaining about the Armory not taking the gear.

Come on.

Max retainers is 2 and obviously you don't gather and craft and store your mats. It fills up insanely fast with the number of crafting/gathering/ Caster/ DPS / Tank gear and to top it off most mats you will hold onto are a mix of normal AND HQ versions making it take up double the space.

2 Retainers MAX.

Aaah good to know. So 340 slots.

So you put four slots for the gear until they fix the Armoire. Time to purge, folks!

fine! but make it possible for ME to hire more retainers, do not limit the amount of storage space I can have, with multiple classes being 50 2 retainers is not enough space!

How do you have multiple 50s and yet don't know that you can only have a max of two retainers?

I think I know what all the FC houses will be full of in a few weeks time....

I'm disappointed. All of my war/magic classes are at 30+.

Oh well. Vanity is vanity. But I hope they let us store these items down the line. :[

Honestly the problem isn't just the space its the fact that they clearly have a system in place to hold event/af/seasonal gear but refuse to utilize it. Why add in the armoire system if we can't store event items immediately.

Then again if we didn't have to wait until 2.2 for vanity slots you would actually see people running around in event gear beyond day one and not even thinking about the armoire.

This. There's really no other reason that the items would be Level 13. It is not a coincidence, and I think it's really cool in a silly kind of way.

All these item rewards are going to be great thanks to the vanity system we have in place.

Oh wait...

Do we get anything from the first quest? I kind of want the armor right now.

Figure some other way to store them then. Inventory is limited especially with the AF glitch still effecting users who have copies of AF gear sitting and taking up space in one's inventory!

First quest unlocks a hairstyle (Lightning if Female, Snow if Male) for when the Barber Shop comes out.

How useless. Have to wait till patch 2.1 and later to actually enjoy any of this stuff.

guys. The reason everything is level 13 is because...-GASP- Lightning is from FF13! WHAT A CONCEPT!

so if we get all the item they will just be stocked in our retainers because they are low level and vanity slots are not implemented...
Please make is so that we can AT LEAST put them in the armoire

We actually don't even know if it will be useful then. They mentioned they weren't going to allow seasonal items to be used as vanity (ie there won't be anyone raiding coils in bikinis), so these event items may not be allowed, depending on what they do with the system.

Edit: I realize now you were talking about the hair style, but yea, still remains to be seen if the vanity system will allow event items or not.

they aren't seasonal items...and why would they release themed gear from past games if they weren't going to allow us to use it with the vanity system they are withholding from us?

That's why I said it remains to be seen if we will be able to or not. I hope we can, but it wouldn't surprise me if "event" items are classified the same as "seasonal".

Why would you waste a Fantasia on something that will be accessible in a few months anyways?

Because who likes waiting? Most of this stuff was promised from the start. People are tired of waiting.

no vanity slots in 2.1 so meh

Because at the moment, I have no desire to change my appearance - lalafells are just that cute.

However, if something makes me desire to change my appearance, then I might use it...

And yet...another stupid idea from SE, you would think they would fix their WHOLE ENTIRE game before worrying/releasing a stupid ass event. Tend to the sheep and they will all come baaah'ing along.

I'm wondering this myself but I bet we're gonna have to wait until 2.1 comes out. :/

I think they are level 13 because Lightning comes from Final Fantasy XIII :)

Aw man. Players will soon pick up a crap ton of weapons that they can't store in their armoire and will take up inventory slots for an indeterminate amount of time? I think this adequately describes my feelings towards the upcoming community rage. http://i.imgur.com/8fGV1.gif

so -12 inv space if we collect them all? ....geez

I like the event and the rewards, but please let us store event items in the armoire!
You want us to participate in the events and reward us with items that are pretty much useless till the vanity system is implemented and just fill up our inventory.
Is it even possible to store the stuff from the summer or halloween event yet? No.
Can we hire additional retainers? No.

I know that the ammount of data for inventory and armoire is not unlimited, but if you plan such events with item rewards why does nobody think about where these items should be stored?

Or is this a way to increase the number of marketboard transactions by lowering inventory space?

Ehhh, this part is just plain stupid. Why keep giving us all these vanity options without a way to store them?
