[AFTER NOV 1ST] - 2 Questions to the devs.

I would like to know:

1 - what will happen to our inventory items? And what of our retainer's and bazaars'? As far as I know we'll have less inventory space... right now many are sitting on 500+ items (self, self-bazaar, retainers, retainers' bazaar)... it would be cool to have a special safe into the inn rooms with all our items inside.

2 - When will you be releasing the missable items/content list? ... October 15? :p

Thanks.

i think i remember an interview about that they will be transported to a home chest or something.... .

1) You will be able to obtain any/all of your overflow items that won't fit in the new storage from an NPC after launch.

They said that somewhere? I always thought we would just have 500/300 inv, and cant put anything in till its atleast 299/300.
But an NPC is a nice move by SE :-)


Edit:
We still get to play after Nov 1. For another 10 days.

Retainers are meant to go from 150 to 100 and Self from 200 to 100 last I recall, overflow items I imagine would probably go into some sort of stasis storage, limbo as it were, until retrieved. Anything acquired after november 1st just wont really exist after the 10th at all, as far as that goes.

But here's a different thing - You have 2 full months to get those numbers down so you dont have to worry about overflow storage or the unfortunate circumstance of items being lost in transition as they drop inventory levels for yourself and your retainer. Get stuff repaired, toss it in your armoire, get stuff sold (try changing your prices maybe?) and just stop being a little hoarder lol Back when AF was about to release I did this same thing, went through my main retainer and started to liquidate random materials and gear I most likely wasn't going to reuse in the future after AF's release, currently sitting around 50/150 on one retainer, 90/150 on another retainer (so much freaking lvl 1/2 materia..ugh) and my own personal inventory flucuates often just due to random drop loot. But anyways, what I'm saying is, you have two months to manage your inventory.

I have a full inv nearly all the time, but my retainers are rather empty.
I do wonder, why did they decide to limit us even more in our space?

Drop loots lead to inventory space filling up. Inventory space filling leads to crying for more inventory options. Crying leads to retainers and storage to lessen inventory stress. Lessened stress only lasts until more inventory levels are full. This leads to hoarding. Hoarding leads to lalafels getting lost in your closet until you sell through the messes looking for the smell.

Its for the best.

I dunno about you but I usually run around with 150/200 on me and at least 100 of those slots are gear. With the new gear set system your gear will be taken out of your inventory so it's not really limiting as it might seem at first.

the inventory increase was only temporary. With 2.0 we get better inventory management like gears on your chars and gear sets don't be in the inventory.

Maybe I sell all the NQ mats in my inventory before november.

Yoshi also said something about a mannequin system that will help to alleviate inventory woes too so that will help greatly.

And with them requiring separate gear for all classes/jobs, including DoH and DoL they really need to do something drastic with inventory. I could not imagine playing xi with my 480 spaces of inventory if I had to have full gear sets for each of my jobs and crafts. Even something simple as weapons would overflow if my thf and dnc couldnt share daggers and my rdm and blu couldnt share swords, etc. Its the little things that add up.

With the current planned set up you will be able to create enough mules to store your excess items <unless you are a complete packrat like me>.

It wasn't a choice to limit our current inventory, it was a choice to temporarily expand our inventory way back when. In the very same patch the change was made it was listed in the patch notes with a little * note saying that it was only temporary. Of course very few listened at the time and even fewer who have come back since then even know about it. Inventory space is just going back to what it used to be and apparently where Yoshida thinks it should be.

As others have stated, we have time to prepare. If you're really worried about it then condense your inventory however you have to.

Oh, if gear no longer counts, then that would be just fine :-)

I'd like to focus on your second point Guevara, "When will you be releasing the missable items/content list?"

I would like a solid list from SE telling us exactly what items and content from the current version will be unobtainable in 2.0. I don't mean every little pelt and level 1 side quest but the major things such as Darklight gear, Primal weapons, Relic quest items, Raids, Dungeons, NMs etc. If something like that is going to be removed in 2.0 I would like to know now so I know what to focus my time on over the next two months.

I second this! We really need a solid answer from the dev team about what items we will no longer be able to get. A content list was released a while back concerning mostly just attachments.

My biggest wonder is all the "Dated" gear. will that still be around in 2.0/ARR?

because they listened to me! :D

Also they are not limiting us, they are just bringing us back to normal. Just like how people think taxes are going to be raised when taxes are like the lowest ever.

Nothing will be lost that much we know, anything in excess of what you can carry under the new limit will probably go to a special overflow space (guess). Seems like the most logical thing to do. I know a few games where you don't lose items if your inventory is full, you just can't use them until you have the space- they go into a special overflow area- much like how you can put many more items in the delivery box in XI than it actually has room for.
