PS3 a real problem or not

[Tupsi]

We cannot have extra inventory storage and even BEARDS due to data limitations from how the PS3 is holding things back. Then again, my characters don't need beards lol

Incorrect. You can't have beards because they'd have to go back and redo quite a bit of graphical assets - Nothing to do with limitations. Explain why the majority of PC Only MMOs out there has a fairly small character creator? Including in the facial and body hair realm of things?

I'll wait.

By the way, FFXI currently has 320 inventory slots that's actively on your character - It's a PS2 MMORPG.

By the way, FFXI currently has 320 inventory slots that's actively on your character - It's a PS2 MMORPG.

Concerning the XI inventory bit, that's actually not true. Only 160 slots are active at one time and only 80 of those are loaded up-front. The other 80 is selectively chosen when you cycle thorough the Mog Sack, Wardrobe, or other in-game inventory, such as in the Mog House or via an NPC that deals with storing leveling gear or AF sets.

The reason for this is that there is an imposed limit on the inventory due to a combination of the available amount of RAM on the PS2 allocated to item inventory AS WELL as the server itself. Both would cause unintended stress if they simply allowed the amount of items displayed to be increased.

For this reason, every time you zone in on a new area, at the top right, there is an item bag icon that loads and tells you when all available item inventories are prepped by the server.

As a side note, the development team wanted to increase the amount of words in the user translation dictionary, but they specifically stated that the PS2's RAM, in question, only allowed a certain amount of words to be pre-loaded into its RAM. That being said, they decided to eliminate rarely-used words and replaced them with Seekers of Adoulin-related terms and such. PC users are also affected by this, as the Dev. Team stated they wanted PS2 users to also deal with all available terms; users on PS2 would not be able to see new terms by PC or 360 users if they gave them only to the latter.
