Will we get more retainers at some point?

Merle, by comparison most other games don't have you farming so ridiculously many tokens at the same time.

Take the relic at its current stage. You farm dailies (4 tokens) to buy other tokens (another 4) which you can also buy with tomestones (not in your inventory) and parts from Alexander (another 4 tokens). If you need armor at the same time from Alexander, that's another ... what is it, 6 different armor tokens?

Inventory fills up a LOT faster from just playing the game than in most other games.

Agreed and it gets worse when you store old one ones as well because never know if you might want in the future... I have one retainer who's pretty much my "Token Retainer" storing all of the Alexander parts you mentioned (Gordian and Midan), but also drops from Behemoth, Odin, Proto Ultima, CoeurlRegina, Beast tribe currencies (7 different!), Sands and Oils of Time, Mark Logs from hunts, Encrypted Tomestones, Unidentified Allagan Tomestones, Mhachi Farthings, Red Scrip Gathering AND crafting tokens, Brass and Steel Sky pirate spoils from Diadem, Rowena's general tokens and the old soldiery tokens, alexandrite, the Doman Urushis tokens, Carboncoat, Carbontwine... phew. Oh and of course the new Unidentified items and Shiva Diamond Dusts and Levi's Mirrors, Fate Atmas for the old relic, the new Anima relic fate crystals...

I'm sure there are many more I don't have that, but it's a pretty crazy amount and it just keeps increasing! Do I really need the Sands of Time? No probably not, I'm only ever going to use it for getting/upgrading an item and glamouring it, but I don't want to throw it away in case later I do need it and I don't have it any more and would have to get more...

As you may have guessed I pay SE for 6 extra retainers. Have done since the day they launched the service, and I really don't recommend it. The more retainers you have, the more reliant you become on their space and you just can't go back.
