A consern about space efficieny since stormblood is not getting enough space increase

[Berethos]

Since we are paying a subscription, I don't think it's right that we have to pay extra for storage on top

I do actually agree with this on principle...my points have been aimed at claims that we are offered less inventory than these other games when that is demonstrably untrue. The only way they beat us in inventory is through sharing with other characters on an account...

And if you're willing/able to have someone act as a go between you can do that with up to 7 other characters on your account, adding a somewhat easy to obtain 700 extra slots (more if you level them all enough to get retainers).

Also, needing more than a couple retainers is for power users or a problem of your own making, to be honest. You can easily play and keep plenty without having to pay for extra retainers.
