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

Back in 2014 they seemed to think a glamour log was feasible enough. They were just trying to decide how much other information it would also include.

Q: Is there any update on the weapon and armor log?

A: We've currently finished off a lot of the details, but we have to plans for implementation, we've been estimating the amount of work for each. The first idea would simply have players building a collection of weapons and armor, while the second idea would allow players to read the lore surrounding the gear they obtain. However, this data will affect the player data used in real time, so we are carefully investigating this at the moment. Next week we will reach a conclusion and proceed for actual implementation, but if we decide to go with the first idea it will be implemented in patch 2.4. In the case we decide on the second option, it will be implemented a bit further in the future. In any event, we've progressed quite a bit on this and we will have our verdict soon enough.

Since they thought at that point it would be implemented in the next major patch if they went with the simple version just recording what gear we do and don't have, I'm guessing they decided on the more in-depth version giving detailed info about each item, and then it got bogged down in coming up with all that background info. They took what would have been an enormously helpful feature that they could have done if they'd kept with the simple version and instead expanded it into something too big to actually get finished/implemented.

If that's the case...
