Can having the an HQ ingredient and a normal ingredient not take up 2 spaces?

I'm just stating the obvious they did this because of the option of get two extra retainers which you have to pay monthly for as well. Thankfully the price isn't to steep, but it would be nice if they could do something like that. Another game I played, they had a system where you crafting materials each had it's own space separate from the bank or your own inventory. The way it was set up is that you would get gather the item and that item would be put into player's inventory and from inventory you had the option to send all crafting materials in your inventory to your crafting mat's space.

Exactly what I was going to say - how else is SE gonna get more money out of you if they reduce the needed inventory space?

Then we would still have +1,+2 and +3 as HQ items and 50 different items to repair our gear. And each tier materias in 3 different versions.
