SE, Please, we need to talk about currency bloating our inventory.

I dream of the day we have an all-encompassing currency tab. D:

Might be sooner than you think. It could easily have been a memory issue, and with 32-bit going away, they can start adding that stuff in.

They still have the bad base code to deal with.

if they moved it to the currency window tho then people would complain about the bloat in the currency window and how it would look ugly etc.

I seriously doubt there would be many voices saying this. People don't have the currency window constantly open and designing the ui properly would eliminate that issue. The inventory space issue is far worse as it directly affects your experience in the game.

say primal totems were moved to the currency window. do you really want to have x amount of bizmarck totems around forever? you wouldn't be able to discard them ever either.

Why would you care about discarding something that isn't taking up inventory space?

because that data would stay with you forever. the less your character has to lug around with them the better.

The only things that need adding to currencies are the 24 man and primal currencies. Everything else is just a "keep till you have enough then spend them".

I've made it clear in the past that I firmly believe the majority of players calling currency bloat are just hoarders who never throw anything away. It's on you to manage your inventory, not Square.

They should at least put the items from raids you're forced to receive in the currency window, ie the coins and primal totems, crystalloids from final versions of each raid.
Things you get from chests like shafts, cranks, pedals etc should remain in your inventory, as well as everything else.

They could simply allow us to dump them by talking to a NPC if it were a data issue. There are plenty of ways around this problem that doesn't involve throwing a thousand different currencies at us.

[Ashiee]

Materia should be considered a currency as well as much as we use them.

Since you can sell/buy on the marketboard, I do not agree with this. Everything else though, agreed.
