This issue just occurred to me about the new class (and future classes)...

[mbncd]

Actually I'm pretty sure they've not yet specify when they'll drop the PS3. All I've heard officially is that they will consider it when it no longer has enough players to sustain it and that that will definitely not be before this first expansion. That could mean 6 months from now or it could mean 6 years from now. There are so many rumours floating around about this but honestly I don't think they even know when they'll do it. I personally can't stand this game on PS3 (I play on PC and I can't get used to the huge interface and I've never really been a controller player, but that's just me) but a lot of people are still playing it on the PS3 and will probably continue to do so for a while yet.

But that's really quite an unnecessary tangent and we should get this thread back on topic.

I frequently struggle with Armoury Chest space, especially around event times when they unload all this gear on you without allowing you to put it where it belongs in your Armoire. I think tagging things as Armoire storable from the start would alleviate some issues but even so, we have too much stuff on multiclass/discipline/style/etc characters to really try to fit them into 25 slots even as things are now.

What about in 3.0? What about when they introduce new non combat classes? What about when they require optimal chocobo racing suits to get the best out of your bird? What about when they introduce gear that is not a simple literal stat step up, something that's useful for more than a few months (because of unique stats or abilities or anything that will add longevity to the things we put hard work into earning)? What about when they add hundreds more vanity items over the next few years?

There are many issues with the current gear systems and storage is definitely up there. The fishermen and women of Eorzea have been clamouring about this since Alpha for baits, but it seriously impacts every discipline, every job, every class and every slot.

Let's see some changes or at least some ideas on how to fix this, please, SE~

Pretty sure they only promised the first expansion to PS3 (and obviously its patches), but nothing beyond.

[TheCurls]

Well not by 3.0 time frame.

They said they plan to drop PS3 support on 4.0 (2nd expansion) which is still most likely 2 years away.

They never said this, either. Please, stop this.

I'm at 22 out of 25 on weapon slots currently. One weapon for each DoW job, one for each DoM, one for each DoH, one for each DoL. Which is 20. I carry around Conquerer and Yagrush as well right now since I'm working on Bravura Atma and Thyrus Animus and switch to the relic weapon when doing quests that need them equipped. At least my gear slots aren't as bad since my crafters aren't all at level 50 with job specific gear yet.

Actually, they did.

I kind of realized this once I got all my DOH to 50. The only work around with gear is/was to wear equipment that isn't specific to one class/job. Once I can get the head gear for DOH I can toss 3 head pieces out. I got the Ixali gloves early so that's a lot of hand gear I didn't need to have. I can only hope there's more one size fits all craft/harvest gear in later levels. With DOW Paladin and Warrior are the only two that has shared equipment. Possibly Sch/WHm and Blm/Smn as well but DD's are not so lucky. However I don't intend to play every job once I get them all to 50. That'll same me some inventory space and I can toss stuff onto the retainer. Otherwise, since everything is based on their main hand equipment there's going to be a point where you cant change jobs without going back to town and checking in with the retainer. Just like the Mog House in XI.

This sounds like an issue with hoarding.

Funny you should say that, lets take a closer look shall we?

If you have all crafter, gatherer, and battle classes at 50 that totals 20 Main hands, out of 25.

Mind you yes, this doesn't really apply with current endgame gear sets but when the new classes get added, 3 of them, now you are at 23. We are slowly running out of space. Regardless of what you think.

Either way it WILL be a pressing issue come 3.0 and really does need some attention.

Like when did they say that they would drop ps3 from playing this game. I for one am an avid forum watcher and I'VE never seen them mention such a thing.
