I'm fine with the +10 for armory. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed on just +40 for inventory. Of course, if they plan to add more after judging server stability, suppose I'll just have to wait and see.
They didn't mention retainers, as far as I know, But if they were affected, it would presumably be +70 per retainer, because the increase is +10 per inventory page.

Either expand on their usage, or just get rid of them completely.
The problem is that dark matter and particularly carbonized matter are very different from glamour prisms. Glamour prisms all had the exact same recipe, and were divided only arbitrarily. If you combined dark matter, the pricing would be tricky. If you leave it at the grade 6 price, low-level crafters couldn't afford to repair their gear, and at the grade 1 price, its effect as a gil sink would be almost entirely muted. Carbonized matter is another story because it's gated behind gathering, and any combining would immediately ruin that concept. Plus, as you pointed out, you can already use a higher-grade of either if you want to, which achieves the goal of using less inventory space. So why would they enforce that in-game? Just give people the options.
