ARR - 100 Inventory Limitation

[moriandrio]

Instead on XI you'd fill your entire inventory with gear for one job. Oh the life of a Thief ~

I don't think we can compare the two games that easily. XIV allows you to switch job on the fly. Reducing your inventory makes this feature obsolete.
All I can picture is that we'll have to plan ahead for what we need to change to and prepare for it or items in your gear sets for each of your jobs don't take up inventory space regardless of if you're wearing them or not.

Who knows!

You dont need to have gear for all jobs on you all the time.

You dont need to have gear for all jobs on you all the time.

I do understand this argument. I really don't need it all. I probably only ever hit Bard macros to cast a song and swap back these days.

What I don't understand is why inventory space is being shuffled about in such a manner.
That's exactly what this is, inventory is being reshuffled so that there is more on my retainer and less on me. Why? Who knows! We;re still holding the same it's just been moved about slightly.

I can keep my gear on my retainer and come back to change gear whenever I nee- wait a second.
... Come back to retainer to change gear
... Come back to Moogle to change job

This all sounds very familiar.

On top of that, doesn't having to swap your gear around just cause pointless busy-work?
Remember drawing spells on FFVIII so you could not-suck? That's what this is! Pointless busy-work!
I'm drawing gear from my retainer! Oh my!
