The new Expanded Inventory View design

I believe the original intention was to provide even more base inventory after stormblood's launch...
But, that didn't work out tech wise iirc.

Thus, they must have decided to 'clean up' the ui...
I can't help but feel it's some form of ocd with each page not having the same amount of entries...

If you somehow needed to change this (why though?) then why not just three options? The old ones and a new one that would look like the new expanded inventory?

Honestly why change it and not give people the option to still have it the old way?

SE really likes to change some things to the worse or introduce something as way too complicated..

I actually looked at options a few times trying hard to find a new third options, as soon as I've seen the change, but nope. Unnecessary change in negative without the option to choose.

Helluuuuuuu

Yep, I was not impressed with this new view. I don't like having to tab through the inventory. Fill up half my screen if necessary.

Does anyone, EVER, even need that many? I mean, I have the Yokai handbook, the Aether compass, some hunt bills I've been too lazy to finish, WT book, a treasure map, the list for the 3.0 relic item exchange, and then whatever I needed for beast tribes(Ixal mostly), and that didn't even take up 75% of the key item slots.

If we look at the Glamour system as a whole, the weird change in inventory view that no one asked for, the unskippable 45minute cut scenes, the weird unbalanced tank situation, the band aid "fixes" on monk that STILL haven't changed any rotation since 2.0...

This patch worries me. It's like they're losing touch completely. Patches used to be full of really good QoL.

It's been said before but I think they really need to get a player based test group. I don't think the devs are as connected as they once were.

Edit: If you put any items in the glamour wardrobe, can you use those items for the fashion check at the Gold Saucer? Because if you can't take them out then....maybe you can't?

EDIT: Let me add, before we got the 40 new inventory slots in SB, that meant we could see ALL our personal inventory in one go. The tabs were for "Inventory", and "Key items and crystals" only. Really helped me get a birds-eye view of my inventory at all times.

As person who had over 100 items in personal inventory (and thus whose inventory flowed to another tab even in Expanded mode), I feel no difference. Only people who had 100 items in inventory or less would notice it.

So...That's what you get for not hoarding :P

I don't like either. It looks horrible in my option. I don't mind seeing less items but the whole box itself just looks bad.

I barely have like 5 key items and a couple of them are stuff I haven't touched in 2 years.
