Why does the new inventory UI show less items on Expanded than before?

[Crimsonwolf]

The new inventory layout is complete garbage that nobody asked for. Do the devs actually talk to people that play the game on a day to day basis before making crazy decisions like this?

Revert the inventory back to how it was or give us a complete unified single pane inventory.

Neither of these solutions are what I want. The way it was before is less slots, so I'm happy with the number we have now. A unified single pane would get rid of the automatic category sorting that is possible now. I.e. gear goes in the first pane, consumables in the second, etc. Unless they keep that separation in a unified pane then I'm okay, but I like having the visual separation.

That said, yes please to all 4 panes visible at once. And I agree with people asking why the heck are there 105 slots for quest inventory? I have a hard time filling up two lines let alone 3 panes.

Edit: Oh, and while we're at it... I'd like the ability to have the Chocobo Saddlebags window attached to the main inventory window so they open together. I can see how that might not be possible since you can't have both open in some cases like instances, but it'd be nice to have nonetheless.

Just thought I would post in here in hopes of SE seeing the feedback that the new Inventory Expanded UI is terrible. Can we have an option for the old one back? Please?

Incorrect, we lost 30 slots from the previous view. We used to be able to see 100 slots at a time and now we only get 70. The current UI is unquestionably inferior in every way.

That was in reference to the number of actual slots not the number view-able.

We didn't gain any slots in the inventory. This entire conversation is about how many slots (way less) are viewable now.

The person I responded to said they want it to revert back to the way it was (or have one unified large pane), which I responded to by saying I'd rather have the extra slots than less viewable in that scenario. Plus we did gain slots, so im not sure what you're talking about there.
