Storage problem

[Tayolynn]

It was a pretty big stab in the back when they clearly showed capability of letting us have more retainers, except they dangle it behind a pay wall.

From the 3.0 patch notes:
"[2.0] Players can now hire up to eight retainers.
* Players are normally limited to two retainers per character. To hire additional retainers, please use the optional retainer service (http://sqex.to/4Aq) available on the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station."

Except that was actually always planned to be that way from the very beginning even before ARR was even conceived, all the way back at the start of the original version of FFXIV (1.0)'s service in fact - retainers were always planned to be a paid service, with the cost of the first one included in your main monthly subscription and any extra retainers required a separate fee for each. Because of 1.0's failure though those plans were put on the backburner and players were only ever able to recruit a single retainer. All they've done in ARR is introduce what they had always planned to do years ago in 1.0.

Of course we need extra storage space by default - even I'm struggling to find a place for all my gear that I keep finding myself acquiring - but SE are aware of this and as mentioned already by someone else, Yoshi has stated inventory sizes will be increased in Stormblood so we just have to be patient.
