I don't mind limits, I do hate however the tabbed/paged layout FFXIV use. It's not like WoW where you actually are using five different bags that can vary in size. In FFXIV it's all just fixed. Yet we're forced to use such a prehistoric paged interface :(

It's so they can sell you bigger bags to put the loot in as well as make sure tons of vendor trash fills up what little inventory you have.
100+175(+20)+175(+20) that we have with retainers, retainer sell slots and base character is quite a lot... And that's not counting the Armoury pages...

Player data, such as inventory takes up terabytes upon terabytes of storage data... which is expensive. That's the reason we pay for these extra retainers.. and it's also the reason FFXI gave you a few more slots of space with security token purchases ($$$).

It's not about how much info is stored (storage is quite cheap anyway), but about how much information must be transferred between the server and client. The transfer may be once per second (or more? I have no idea) multiplied by the number of people online. The equipment to do this task is expensive.

As for the amount of space or character data really takes up, it's probably a couple megabytes at most as each item and setting only really needs an identification number and possibly quantity and slot identifier.

Tbh, I doubt it was that difficult to implement in the first place. But yey. /huzzah for it all.
