Idea: Glamour Catalog

[Noxifer]

Honest question here - how different can the character data usage be if people are storing 100 physical items in their retainers vs. storing 100 images of glamoured gear?

Well, considering it wouldn't be either/or, it would be more ^^; Just because they shoved all their retainer-hogging glamour gear into the glamour log it doesn't mean they won't use the freed-up inventory space. It'd just mean they'd store something else in those slots instead -- gear they intend to use while levelling classes/jobs, crafting ingredients, non-key key items (like atma stones, zodiac glass, air current compass, gear upgrade items, beast tribe items for unfinished beast tribes, etc), non-currency currencies (tokens, oaknots), etc.

Of course, a lot of people who currently employ all 8 possible retainers merely to store glamour items would be able to stop renting a few of those... which is also probably something SE would be against *rolls eyes* Something that's highly reasonable, as they are a business trying to earn money/revenue, but still very annoying.

All that said, I'm very much for the introduction of some sort of glamour log -- or the possibility to store more kinds of items in the armoire. The latter would provide the same possible storage ease-up, since the armoire as far as I know only saves the item ID to the list of what stuff is there, instead of the whole array of item ID, dye, condition, spiritbond and materia that has to be saved for inventory slot items.
