I didnt read the last few pages and idk if this was already said but regarding the OP, FFXI has a treasure list where your drops go when your inventory is full or if there is at least one other person in a party with you. Which gives u time to toss stuff if you are full and/or lot if you need it.

And its also on the ps2 so yeah...I don't see why a loot list can't be implemented outside of dungeons in 2013.
