Really tired of the inventory excuses.

Then there is the mostly wasted off-hand armory slots, the only classes that use those being gladiator, conjurer, and thaumaturge. Even then, conjurer and thaumaturge only use off-hand items very rarely and only during the leveling. So there is wasted space in the current inventory system for sure.

Uh. About that. All of those crafters and gatherers (except fisher) have offhands too.

Kinda funny since the post you replied to mentions crafting. xD

Increasing inventory space is not some small change.

Yeah, this is my take on it too. They can either find ways to optimize the existing system (which they've said they're working on) or they can completely recode it and god knows how much work that would be.

But there are other solutions. Or at least, partial solutions, especially for people who glamour things. Here's four of them:

1. They can expand the armoire to include all glamour items, all dungeon sets, all token sets, and all relics (including lucis/supra).


2. They can create a new currency tab for "Tokens" and make it so you can "use" a token to have it added to your character sheet.


3. As I just said in my post above, they can expand stack size from 99 to 250.


4. They can streamline items as well. Why are there five grades of clear glamour prisms? I get why they might want five grades of the actual glamour prisms, but what purpose does having five grades of the clear ones serve? They are all bought from the same NPCs and they all cost the same. What about Gyshal Greens? What purpose do they server? They're so cheap, summoning/dismissing your chocobo is hardly a drain on anyone's coffers, even newbies. Why are Gyshal Greens an item that must be stored and not just an action? What about Dark Matter? Sure, they don't all cost the same, but seriously, who cares? Why are they not all just one item? And what about Coke/Potash/etc? These can only be used 9 at a time, so why not introduce a new item that replaces them and counts as nine of them (as in, you can trade in 9 coke for this new "pile of coke" item, all places where coke can be bought or found, it costs 9 times as much for the new item and coke is removed, or you find 1/9th as much of the new item as you found coke and coke is removed)? Suddenly, we don't need five inventory spaces per airship part just for the coke required, and we don't have to store leftover bits when we don't have an exact multiple of 9.

What I'm saying is, they can save a notable amount of space without making game-changing changes to items. There are things that can be compressed without really changing them.


None of these suggestions are asking for anything new. It's all existing functionality that is being underutilized, compounding the inventory space problem. I can't speak for other people, but for me, if I didn't have to store glamour items and tokens, I'd have no inventory space issues.
