Oh, so FFXIV is pay-to-win? That's... stupid.

The reasoning for P2W has been explained multiple times in this thread. Inventory space is a minor part of it, its mostly being able to make gill off ventures.

And that argument failed hard, as explained multiple times on this thread.

Especially in HW where the best melded penta gear comes in about 4th place. Alexander gear > Law with Seals Gear > Law Gear > Crafted gear (unless its that one i160 body piece then you get 3rd place). Pay to slowly place 4th after everyone else already came in 1st...yay... How could you stoop so low SE? P2W that doesn't win?

Ventures are a nice addition whom's minimal advantage could easily be wiped out by someone who knows how to make gil proper. This is pay to get a such a minimal advantage in terms of only currency that could easily be made up by someone who plays CUL for 20 more minutes a day, dont kid yourself.
