    I actively play RDM, BLM, PLD and WHM now, and I've always liked the crafter and gatherer job-specific gear. So this is what I think I will need for the Commode, based on glamour I already use or have always wanted to use, when I get everything to 70:
    • INT base glamour Plaguebringer for BLM and SMN, RDM ensembles to the lv70 RDM job gear. 5 slots used.
    • MND base glamour Skalla, Commode stores job gear WHM(Lv50+LV50+Lv60), AST(Lv60+Lv70), SCH(Lv50+Lv50+Lv70). 40 slots used.
    • VIT base glamour World of Darkness tank set, Commode stores job gear PLD(Lv50+Lv50+Lv70), WAR(Lv50+Lv50+Lv60+Lv70), DRK(Lv70). 40 slots.
    • STR base glamour Skalla, Commode stores job gear SAM(Lv70), MNK(Lv50+Lv50+70), ignore DRG. 20 slots.
    • DEX base glamour Sharlayan, Commode stores job gear NIN(Lv50+Lv50+Lv60+Lv70), BRD(Lv50+Lv50+Lv60+Lv70), ignore MCH. 40 slots.
    • Gatherer base glamour FSH, Commode stores class gear BTN(Lv50+60+70), MIN(Lv50+60+70). 30 slots.
    • Crafter base glamour CUL, Commode stores class gear for Lv50+60+70 for the other 7 classes. 105 slots.

    So that's total of 175 slots before my crafter classes.

    What does this mean?

    It means that 200 will be plenty if we only keep "glamour gear we want to use now". For example if I throw away all the level 50/60 job gear and limit myself to current job gear, then there's no capacity problem to speak of.

    And there's no problem throwing away those gear pieces because they're all retrievable. Lv 50 AF can be bought from the salvager, Lv 50 ilv90 takes more work but are trivial now that we can solo level 50 dungeons easily for the drops. Lv 60 AF is where it gets dirty because it requires mob hunts. Lv 70 AF can be bought from the salvager.

    Let's redo the calculations then.

    One AF set from each combat job totals 15x5=75 slots.

    Now add that to hard-to-obtain gatherer and crafter class gear for level 50, 60 and 70, which totals 11x5x3=165 slots, from which we can deduct 10 slots because we can use one set of current crafter gear and one set of current gatherer gear as base glamour, giving us 155 slots.

    The grand total is 230 slots.

    So the system will be adequate (at least for now) for people who are not playing all possible jobs. Which brings up the same old question:
    Mr. Yoshida, why are you always designing systems that are "good enough" for people who don't play all jobs+classes when one of your game's primary selling point is that "you can be anything and everything"?
