Please increase inventory space and retainer/saddlebag inventory space

[Maxsdad]

Inventory management has ALWAYS been part of the game, and quite frankly, a sign of a more efficient crafter. I GUARANTEE those of you with 8 retainers are still hoarding things you haven't used since you were a lvl 30 crafter.

I'm not sure they currently could increase inventory size even if they wanted to. They made it clear with the armory exactly where every slot that was used for Belts is going for Endwalker and that they were even holding on to a few slots for some point in the future.

The argument "that's how it's always been, so get over it" will never fly with me.
We need better help from developers in the system. Like, if I'm gathering Item A with one slot left in my inventory, and I successfully gather Item A (1), that shouldn't count my inventory as "full/cannot gather additional Item A". This is a basic algorithm that someone's just been too lazy to put in.

Unless this is a strategy similar to Bro-Blizzard (keep things slightly inconvenient and people will keep paying...I mean, *playing). Heck, at least WoW doesn't have a cap on transmog storage :/

Yes, but, to be fair, WoW does it completely differently. Every player has a complete list of all gear when they open their transmog collection; the items are only either collected or not collected. Thus, an exponentially smaller set of data needs to be saved and/or transmitted.

Don't get me wrong, I'd never say 'no' to more inventory space, nor would I criticize someone for asking, but the data concerns always pop up when they talk about this stuff. The community response of, "get real it's only such-and-such kilobytes for this data," never takes into account how that data is stored or sent. And when you hear devs talk about bandwidth and storage, these folks are looking to shave off bits from what they have to store/send, never mind something that takes 100kb of space.

I think maybe you have an inventory management problem.

Very highly agree. I cant find the items to fill all the inventory space between 3 retainers, choco saddlebag and my inventory without just hoarding stuff.

The "1 space left and filled by gathering" is likely just something left over from when we could gather HQ items. That was the whole reason we have that I think. And I personally think they are doing an excellent job with inventory space related functions. If you are having issues with how much space you have, then stop keeping so many things. For one raw matz nodes aren't going anywhere, so gather what you NEED and sell the rest. When it comes to gear being used as glam, that's just another way of saying "I want to horde 400 pieces of gear to try and look good. To correct that issue, have one glam per class and use the "try on" function and its "save outfit" option to put a glam together instead of going and getting stuff you may not use or use much. For the chocobo saddlebags, yes plural; put odd items such as your totems, grand company actions, extra consumables you'd like to have access to, etc. in them (you can get a second saddle bag by upgrading your companion app to premium through mogstation. it's ridiculous to say "I need more space" when you have a maximum total of about 600 slots with just what the game has available to us by the time we get our 2 retainers and chocobo in-game. running out of space in this game is a sign of poor item/inventory management and the devs don't need to help any on that front. Now more glam dresser space would be nice but again, it comes down to poor inventory management.

They probably would not admit it though. That was my problem when I started crafting. I wanted to "stock raw matz so I wouldn't have to go collect them later" and ran out of space, quick.

[LeonMagnum]

I think there is plenty of space. How-ever... I would like some QOL Sorting of functions.

[Magiqa]

I would like to see:
- A crafting tab in your bag where you can move your materials.
- More stuff could be under key-items. Maybe like the bozja stuff or content similar like that.
- A space in your glamour dresser to put your dyes in. This way you (or choco) won't have to carry them. Using the glamour dresser automaticly enables you to use the dyes you've put in.
- A personal tab in your FC chest. Would like to dump my raiding stuff here like foods, mats and pots I only need weekly.
- Armoury chest needs a huge overhaul. I'm afraid to even open it.

[Nezerius]

I thought you could only have a max of 9.
2 free, 6 normal purchases, 1 extra purchase with app.

Regular retainer service goes up to 7 nowadays. So that's 2 free + 7 retainer service + 1 premium app.
