More Storage Space, are your retainers and your bag full??

[Khaap]

Anything that stacks NQ and HQ3 only (which should be all parts and a few throwing items / food)
Anything that doesnt stack have all 4 tiers. (So all finished items / equipment / gear / jewellry) ensuring we have levels of gear so crafters still have something to aim for, currently making a +3 finished item is hard and it should stay that way.

I believe they do need to take off the +1 +2 but it feels odd to have a normal quality and a +3 so why not make the +3 simple +1 so we have normal and +1 that way people dont think there are +1 +2 in the middle i think its a bit err nonsensical

This. It really doesn't make any sense to have +3 but not have +1 and +2 items. You could also color code the items, leaving the normal ones white and making HQ some other color (lightblue?)

Hey all,

Hvinire here, ready with another comment from illustrious development team member Komoto-san on the subject of player storage space, recipe requirements, and the evolving world of crafting:



Now your task is clear: let's see all those comments on +1/+2 items and anything else you're looking to pass along to the development team.

Hmmm I think +1 and +2 items should use the same space as normal items and not occupie another one... Also, I think that a bag extender is very necessary (because of equipments). Put a quest where we can earn a new bag...

[Delmontyb]

I personally like the +1, +2 items and would be sad to see them go. I would rather like to have quests that we can do to increase inventory space on both our characters and our retainers. I would also like to see a linkshell bank that we can access after doing some linkshell quests, that we can deposit Gil and items into. I would also be for a community bank where we can buy space, and thus be able to deposit money and items. This bank would be in the major cities and thus you could access your items from anywhere, perhaps for a small service charge.

Now your task is clear: let's see all those comments on +1/+2 items and anything else you're looking to pass along to the development team.

Please keep the +1/+2 items, they add variability to everything and certain unpopular items become popular (without having to go all the way to +3).
If the unfortunate event that +1/+2 are removed, rename +3 to something else. It would be simply silly to have +3 items without the +1/+2 (the +x naming loses it's meaning).

[Zahak]

We should get rid of +1's , +2's , +3's on anything that isn't equipment. No more high quality items please! Thats my opinion at least..

Or maybe just turn +3s into "High Quality" like xi perhaps? So a +3 bat fang would be a "HQ Bat Fang"

really like this idea, +1.
also it doesnt have to be named as HQ3, they can changed it to NQs and HQs item (with the same quality as +3)

NO Removal of + items!!!

or

Change all together!

It just doesnt make sense. To go out logging and you only can find really crappy wood, or extremely great wood. You fell a beast in the wild and you only get wing thats all torn up or in mint condition.

Lets look at the core of it, is it the +1,+2 items you would rather see removed? or your inventory adjusted properly to be able to accommodate the items you collect?

I am completely AGAINST the removal of +1,+2 items from gathering/killing mobs. It takes away from the believability of the world, which I think is sorely lacking in this game to draw you in which is what FF is a big part of.

From a crafting perspective, I want as many HQ items (+1,+2,+3) as I can get my hands on for my high rank alchemist (r48), but for other crafts like carpentar (r24) I mainly only use NQ to rank up on, however now that I have a decent amount of money it would be nice to rank up on some +1 items for the extra boost in durability, I could do higher ranked synths and gain more sp/synth, IF +1 items were available.

Again, I DONT think removing the +1,+2 items from gathering/mob drops is the answer

One solution I thought of is to simply make all the items stack under one inventory slot, so you could have 99 NQ, 99+1, 99 +2, 99 +3, all taking only 1 inventory space. This could be even furthered by making a quest out of it. Maybe there is a very easy quest to gain the additional +1 slot (taking maybe 10min), then a little bit harder quest for +2 or +3. These are things that will help draw you into the world. There will be a reason to accomplish these quests, and a reward worth having when completed. It will give players a goal and make them feel accomplishment when finished.

If the +1,+2 item feature isnt worth keeping then lets do away with the whole system and come up with something that makes sense not just NQ, +3 for gathered/mob drop items

What do you think, like if you agree

[RastaBlack]

Aiming for the highest quality item is half the fun of crafting. But four different qualities of stackable items is too much of a burden on inventory space and item organization.
I agree with ObeiKinstar's comment. Create a system that can keep higher quality items without the use of additional inventory space. Otherwise if this cant be done i'd like to see +1 and +2 items removed if it can be stacked.

My major concern in regards to item quality is the names.
+1, +2, +3? Ewwww ugly!
Why not get rid of the + numbers on the item name and just add it to the items stats panel along side Untradeable and Unique?
And maybe even change the quality description altogether.
You could use a coloured spot, kinda like what's used for enemy toughness, to describe an items quality.
Or you could use letters instead of +1. Like this: HQ(High Quality), RQ(Rare Quality) and hmm idk CQ(Crystal Quality).
Theres so many better ways to describe an item other than just a +.

Please like if you agree. I'm Curious.

Im ok with finished items (weapons/armor/tools) +1/+2/+3.
Materials though should be just NQ and HQ. And im not saying "Copper Ore" and "Copper Ore +3" - since there is no +1 and +2, it just wrong to name it +3. Should be something like "Copper Ore" and "High Quality Copper Ore".
