SE - Default 3rd Retainer before Fees

[Gextiv]

6 months from now you'll just be asking for 4 Retainers to be the baseline, and then a few months after that it'll be 5 Retainers, etc, etc.

This "baseline" must reflect the maturity of the game, in order to appease players who have collected a great deal of items, vanity, etc., over time.

This "baseline" must reflect the maturity of the game, in order to appease players who have collected a great deal of items, vanity, etc., over time.

So basically, just like I said. 6 months from now you'd want 4 Retainers, then 6 months later 5 Retainers, etc, etc.

Both of my retainers are full and my Armoury Chest also has several slots full too (hell, I'd actually pay for a bigger Armoury Chest, that's what I actually need), but I know that at the very least half of the materials I have stashed I never use, while another third is very cheap to buy or very easy to gather. The only people that need Retainer space are people like me that hoard crap that they don't need.

We have a crap load of inventory space already. We don't need more*. What we actually need is Armoury Chest space, especially once they add more classes/jobs to the game. That's the "baseline" that needs to reflect the maturity of the game, not the "baseline" of hoarders who stash stuff they don't even need or use (and I'm guilty of this too).

EDIT:

* We don't need more at this point of the game's life at least. I played FFXI, that game was inventory hell where I had to keep gear sets on mules.
