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

[Berethos]

Yes I know but I want to point this out in case others reading do not get that.

I'm ignoring the points you keep raising because it revolves around the idea that even one extra retainer is truly necessary, much less six. The whole "FFXIV inventory is more a rip off because of x cost over y months" is solely based on that mistaken idea. Think about it - the idea that you need 1400 inventory slots on just your retainers, plus your 100 inventory and 300 armory chest slots (for a total of 1800 usable slots) is just a tad ridiculous for the average player, don't ya think?

Fact is, the average experience (which is what they should base inventory increase decisions on - basing it on super users such as yourself simply isn't feasible) is one where what we currently have is sufficient, if occasionally cumbersome. Do a bit of cleaning, only keep what you really want or need and can't be easily replaced, and only hold on to hard to obtain materials for crafting...and I think you'll find that our current inventory offering is enough...and the armory expansion and +40 to general inventory will simply help make that even more feasible.
