100 inventory slots?

Does anyone know why they are doing this?

Is it to increase the use of purchased retainers?

Will there be questable bags to increase item storage?

Considering the amount of jobs one plays, crafting professions and mats needed for those crafts, I would think keeping inventory at 200 would be a good idea, unless they mean to make item storage expansion quests.

Is there any information released about this?

They say that the equipment you wear will be handled by 'Manequins' (a new concept to also be introduced). This is assumed to NOT count towards your inventory limit. Therefore Inventory should mainly be consumed by crafting materials, food, drops, etc?

Also, your main inventory is being dropped because (don't quote me on this) they're adding additional inventory elsewhere.

Chocobo pack? Personal housing storage? I'm not sure what.

Ahhh sound logic on SE's part. As long as its all interestingly developed and interacting with said manequins, chocobos and other item storage vehicles is not too time consuming that it becomes a hassle. Having already had a 200 slot inventory I think it would be unfortunate for players to be constantly thinking "boy this is a drag, moving around my items all over the place. 200 slots was so much more manageable".

Thanks guys

If you can't access 100% of your stuff aside from what's on retainer while in the field, any new system will be completely fail.

if you have a legacy account it means just make another character and mail the items you need in storage its simple as that. if you dont have legacy account you gotta pay for another mule

The inventory system is being revamped for 2.0. More useless items are going to be phased out, and as far as I know there will be bags. (what the pack slot is for?)

They might make equipped items not count against inventory space like some games, which would free up quite a few spaces as well.

*prays for increased stack size of everything*
*prays for increased stack size of everything*

Something about gear sets not taking up inventory space. Like BLM WHM GSM ASM BSM MIN etc. So every class and 10+ different items that don't take up space. I may be wrong though and am not exactly sure where I read this if I did and I wasn't just drunk at the time.

I have a thread about this: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...a-100-slots!!!

Goblin Bags have been mentioned in game, so it wouldn't surprised me to see them return.

Here a video explaining the new inventory for 2.0

No extra fee for your mules. If you don't have a legacy account you need to pay the standard account for mule (same feature as the legacy account, but $14,99/month)

Actually, extra-bags already are mentioned in the current version of the game, even if they aren't exploited for the moment. Therefore there's a high possibility of eventually seeing them fully available in 2.0 - according to a recent study led by me. :D

You have a thread about everything.

Actually, I think you even have a thread about your threads.

Anyway, this is old news. They said way back when they increased the inventory space to 200 slots that it was only temporary. They did it so you'd have room for your materia. But materia is gonna be stored differently in 2.0, so there won't be a need for the extra bag space.

Turning stuff in for hamlet will be nightmarish.

And what about the role of chocs/goobbues in the story? I'm sure there's enough room on their back to hold 25/50 additionnal inventory slots, isn't there?

Well not gobbue as they are purely cosmetic, but I see chocobo bags since you can call them to fight

That is the case. If you look at the screenshots for 2.0 there's a U shaped inventory, Yoshida specified that is your equipped gear and since that is it's own little inventory it would be fair to expect that the actual gear doesn't use any space in your packs.

How does your thread from almost a year ago complaining about the extra 100 inventory slots they gave us have anything do with this thread?

because it shares the same words? hahaha. That's incredibly stupid, even for you.

Maybe we will get FF XI-esque gobbie bag quests that gain you access to different sized bags to equip in your bag slot or w/e. That would be cool. Just have them work kinda like the soul gems, where you just have access to them after doing certain quests and don't take inventory space themselves, they just increase ur main inventory as you equip them.

Even better, we could have different bags for different item types. Let's say only doh/dol tools, dow/dom weapons or like raw materials in different bags, and you can only equip one. So if you do a lot of one of those classes you can get bonus inventory space. Not saying that we shouldn't be able to already carry all of those at once somehow anyway, but those specific bags would give you extra regular inventory space and make it easier for ppl that are hardcore at a specific role.

I dont mind quests to unlock the functions at all. But if they remove functionality and dont replace it with something equally useful then thats a mistake.

From what I've seen and heard about it, it works fine. Don't worry about it and if it sucks during the beta they'll change it.

Inventory management in this game makes me want to pull my hair out. Break it up in to bags of 20 if it's an issue with packet size but the cross crafting system in this game simply demands that we have alot of junk to work.

Two words in the title are the same? Must be the same topic.

Um two retainers was never ment to remain a permentant thing.

Infact the whole retainer system was a system to remove the need for mules in the first
place. don't be surprized if it goes to one retainer per world and additionial retainers to
cost more.

I'd actually love a system like Fable 3's system. Though I know it's not really possible, I think Fable 3 had one of the best inventory systems in a modern RPG.

I need to get this here because, despite being outdated, it's still valid and people ignore it's existance (I know I was until that one beauteus thread with a summary of all of the 2.0 promises): Planned systems and content for 2.0, created 10/14/2011

There, it instantes the Mannequin system utilized for 'one touch change of gearset', it also mentions 'gear equipped to mannequins will not take up inventory space' and 'mannequins avaiable increased via quest/battle content'.

That alone should alleviate a LOT of our inventory worries, I do know that I have 80~ inventory slots dedicated to gear alone (i'm a goober though, i'm sure it could be a LOT less). It'll probably be a bit of a strain at first until you get a few extra mannequins but after that, smooth sailing, I think.

Might sounds strange but I like the idea that "at first it was hectic, but after some effort I have more than enough space for whatever I could want".

At the same time. If they weren.t trying to make money off us with this system why would they has retainers.
