SE from the beginning of FFXI always restricted the user from having too much storage.
Matter of fact in FFXI you had to do long and horribly expensive quest just to increase your Item Bag by 5 additional slots and only were able to do this ever few levels up to 5 times. The Mog House they used you could place furniture in that held inventory slots and only after you RANKED up could you expand how much furniture you room would hold. The only thing they did right about FFXI was they allowed you to purchase additional characters for 1.00 a month each. This gave you what many call to this day a MULE.. SE this time around gives you 7 additional characters for FREE but they will not allow for you send items back and forth to your main character. My question is... WHY THE HELL NOT ?
