Yoshi P - Are We Getting Armory Chest Inventory Expansion for AF2?

Not that I don't want an expanded armory chest, but why are people going on about having to run to a retainer to swap sets? You do have a perfectly good set of personal inventory. You really don't need to be carrying around so much crap if this is full as well.

Being able to stock supra/lucis, different relic and upgraded AF1 in armory would be nice too .____.

If AF2 ends up being the esoteric gear, then I doubt it

If anything, we need more weapon slots to accommodate the 3 new weapon types (one more row of 5 would be nice for cleanness and so we could squeeze another alt. or pvp weapon too).

I'm no programmer but they have explained it a few times, and I think it has something to do with "on-hand" inventory (inventory space that you can access at any time). Retainers aren't a big issue because you can only "call" a single retainer at a time, and you don't have that inventory space constantly udpating. The other part they mentioned is that to avoid things such as item doups, the server updates every logged on character's inventory every 5 seconds. So adding another bag on top of that would be pretty taxing for the servers.

It's not about storage, it's about server load from everyone who is logged on, sending/receiving information about their inventory every 5 seconds.

But yes that doesn't change the fact that Armory Chest space is at big problem. I have 1 slot in my weapon chest which allows me to change jobs.

All the DOH are getting their own unique set. They showed them off in a video

because craft material+set+materia can simply fill totally your retainer.

That may be Altena, but then again, the Dev Team will need to tackle this head-on eventually:

Just adding in 1 more New Job (Samurai? Dancer? Red Mage? etc.) would basically completely max out the Armory Chest Inventory at that point, and they'd have to do something.

Maybe a second armory chest for crafting/gathering gear. Keep the armory chest for well.. armor?

This pretty much, they are over-complicating the matter by focusing on all the armoury slots, all they truly need to do is just add a few more slots to the weapon area so it's less of a micromanage.
