1488 slots.
WOW: 96 slots on average (that would be the 20 slot bags plus 16 slot backpack). I had 11 alts.
So about. 1056. (This doesn't count bank slots.)
Practically double what we're allotted in FFXIV.
But wait: The biggest bag you can have is 30 slots. They support 136 slots of inventory.

FFXIV: 1 character, 100 slots. 2 retainers 175 slots.
450 slots available to my account.

Giving us all an extra retainer shouldn't kill the server. We're not even close to the amount of inventory space of other MMOs.
For all intents and purposes, our characters have more than just the 100 slots offered by the bag. We have the Armory Chest, as well.
100 Inventory Slots + 12x25 = 300. So 400 inventory slots on our character, where games like WoW actually shares the inventory for armor/items. + 2 retainers, as you said, 175 (Not even sure this quantity) = 575 inventory slots on one character

Do I think that they should give us more inventory/a free retainer? Yes. I think claiming constantly there are "hardware limitations" to everything is growing to be insulting. But at the same time, we get content at such a fast rate compared to other MMO's, I understnad that they're not just sitting around on our money.

Except this expansion. They took forever getting to this expansion. But it was so damn worth it.
