    For each option added it's multiplicative of the data needed to allow said customization to exist. If you have 10 options of 10 that equals to 10,000,000,000 options. If you were to have 11 options of 10 now it's 100,000,000,000 varieties. That's how easy it is for data to exponentially increase just from adding an additional option.

    And sadly the way code is written for FF14 those added options really do present a huge problem for the game. There is a reason Yoshi-P had to beg for money to upgrade and move the servers before Stormblood was released. It's unfortunately going to be a liability going forward for them, because while using 1.0's base to launch 2.0 in record time probably saved this MMO it certainly did it NO favors in the long term.

    That is the number of possible combinations, but you never need to store all of them anywhere. Actual amount of data needed would not increase anywhere near as much. (Going from 10 to 11 options is just an increase of 10% in storage needed for options.)
