So about that Glamour Log...

[DarkDedede]

As per the usual parading around of concept art, we were presented with a good amount of new outfit options. I was left wondering where they expect us to store all of these new items. I'm hoping they have something planned, like some sort of Glamour Log, to record the pieces we've collected for glamours. Otherwise, I suppose the appropriate phrase is "RIP Inventory."

I need that extra retainer NOW just for all the gear I keep around for glamours....

Should change your title post to RIP Inventory to match the others xD lol but it is a good question. Not only are we going to have 3 new jobs and all that gear but now we are going to have new materials and items on top of it all too.

It's a good thing I didn't, as it looks like most of those just got locked.

Yeah, sorry, that's about all I can react to this. Way too spot-on, way too hilarious, way too sad, way too...idek anymore. Way too everything at once. :|

I hope they never add a glamor log.

Now I'm curious. Care to elaborate?

*nods*
I don't really have a better alternative to the inventory problems as I have only played a few MMOs. Knowing some alternatives would be nice.

I don't get SEs thought process

Can't add so and so to armoire, can't make storage bigger but proceeds to add more crap to game anyways

Because the way I see it, glamor is sort of like a privilege that requires work if you want to look good. You should have to farm the item you want to use for glamor, and you should have to hold onto it if you want to use it for future glamor. I know the struggle of having an entire retainer filled with stuff I'll eventually use for glamor(If at all), but that's because I hoard the stuff, even if I have no plans of using it right this moment. But that's the price I have to pay for wanting to be fashionable on the spot, for all classes.

If they add a log where you simply have to pick the item up and you instantly have it's 'model' for example, then all of the effort behind glamor is just gone. It'll turn into a completionist thing, and wont have any downsides to it. It hardly does as is, no one is forcing people to hoard anything and everything they get their hands on, to some day, at some time, decide to use it for glamor.

Want to look good? You should have to work for it. Discarded an item you wish you still had for glamor? Well that's tough, better go get it again.

More inventory space in general however, I'd gladly accept. (They've already said they have plans on making ways to expand the armory chest)

Now what I wouldn't mind is if they created some type of new storage facility that can only be accessed via the main cities for example, that stores equipment or just anything, that you must pay an in game subscription of gill to use. They can add different tiers of that subscription even. 100k a month for 60 storage slots, and then create higher tiers based off of that. You get more room, but you get charged more.

Hell, call it Chocobo Porter Storage, where you hire your own choboco wagon to hold your crap for you, and can only have him in 1 main city at a time. If you want him in Limsa instead of Gridania, you go to Gridania, and have him depart for Limsa.

(That is just an 'on the spot' idea, may not be perfect, but I'd be ok with many things as long as it doesn't put everything in front of your face, for you, like glamor logs do)
