Lightning on the horizon (Lightning FFXIII event)

[Quesse]

Hello,

The item team has confirmed that the rewards listed on the Lightning Strikes information page are the total set of items available from this activity and that there are no plans to upgrade the item levels or stats. When the event goes live, these reward items cannot be stored via the armoire in the Inns, or a separate storage option. Also the team hasn't confirmed if any of these rewarded items will have a separate storage option in the future.

Ridiculous.

-12 inventory slots with no additional storage option is just crazy.

I still have 80+ items on calamity salvager /facepalm

SE please please update the armoire soon, we couldn't stored the Halloween event item away in there either and it's taking up space among other things in our retainer. Either let us stored them there or let us hire more retainers which you can store more items but they cant sell items on market.

Either that or let us do a quest to store items somewhere else in the city or allow us to make a chest or a special storage golem to store more items. I know it not a high priority but why even make these items for event if they are just going to take up space. I know we can just throw them away but I would like to keep them to remember my time in FF14.

Did someone point out Snow's hats are missing?

Edit: I should prolly post source http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/000517.html

Doesn't anyone care about the wig/hat that seems to be missing from the event? If the hat/wig you unlock are some BS for the barber isn't that gonna be some shit?

It's a very very bad decision.

I'll leave it at that because anything I'd add ends up being rude.

* By completing the quest "For the Winsome" players will gain access to a new hairstyle from the aesthetician scheduled for implementation in patch 2.1.

How come this is still acceptable to SE, even after doing XI like this for every event? You guys introduced events with items that ate up space, and later would get around an update or three if we were lucky to make them storable with the event storage NPCs.

Inventory is one of the most vocal complaints in both games, so I just don't understand how SE STILL has the hindsight to make these things that's designed as storage fodder from the getgo.. Something you can actually store without eating space.

I'm not a very high level does that mean I'm limited to the rewards I get? Like can I get 2 rewards for doing the chapter 1 twice? I'm confused on that part. I really want Lightnings Outfit set but guess I'm not going to be able to unlock all of it

If I understand correctly, this quest series will return in February with the release of the game.

My $.02, if it's limited edition, allow it to be stored in the armoire. Period. Like any collector, I got all of the weapons available and now I find out that I've lost all those storage spots? Effin' ridiculous.

Oh I see thanks for telling me~ as long as it is returning then I am happy since I have the patience to wait.

The official response (as quoted above) makes very unhappy. Storage is a major problem and needs to be addressed. All of our classes/jobs are tied to the same character, meaning we are all going to accumulate numerous sets of gear/weapons on that character. Event items from just the short amount of time this version of the game has been out already take up numerous slots out of our already limited storage. Are we expected to discard our event items? We can't even discard some of them (most swimsuits).
