Really tired of the inventory excuses.

[Fendred]

Whether they take an inventory slot or not, they are included with the data that is backed up every 15 seconds, so moving them to another tab would not relieve the issue that is preventing the expansion of inventory, it would simply shift however many item slots from Inventory to currency. Also, glamor prisms are currently a consumable item that you can purchase, currency items work in a different fashion. One thing that might help would be to boost the stack size of all items in inventory which would at least prevent multiple stacks of the same thing taking up more than one slot.

Technically any streamlining of the inventory system to relieve congestion will involve creating new tables in FFXIV's database and adding to existing ones. I'm banking on the idea that Yoshida's comment only refers to expanding the inventory system in its current form as opposed to saying they don't want to alter the current inventory system. A player's personal inventory is meant for items with some semblance of transience, so things like housing and vanity items don't really belong there. As things currently are, people will find it increasingly difficult to enjoy what the game has to offer if they fail to do something to fix the inventory system.
