No need to guess. Yoshi-P specifically said they did this to kill off that kind of leveling play.

On a side note, how they deal with Free company crafting and the ability to get grade 5 materia through the Materia NPC (( forget the bugger's name )) reminds me a touch of Warfame and their Dojo and mods system.

No new armory slots..... welp, I guess they didnt adjust the old gear to be desynthable for nothing

Kinda disappointed that there appear to be no new Grand Company ranks, instead it seems like Hunts are replacing them... I don't like Hunts all that much... The possibility that awesome Grand Company glamour material are locked behind Allied Seals, and might be locked behind Centurio Seals, is not appealing to me. Hunts are just an abysmal piece of content... Give me force pop'd versions with some actual tracking involved and I'd eat it up, however. Not a big fan of the "wait and zerg" mentality Hunts have created, and Mark Bills are just trash in comparison...

Also no additions to armory space.

So much this... So now we can buy 6 extra retainers? When are people going to be outraged paid extra retainers?

The added ability to just play the market. The increasingly significant income from retainer ventures (inb4 someone claims Ventures are a hard currency to obtain...). Two can already obtain you 5,000G a day off Allagan Silver Pieces, lets assume for a minute that the new ventures coming wont provide more ASP, or make the upgrade to Allagan Gold Pieces. Someone paying for 6 extra retainers is now earning, by basically doing nothing at all, 20,000G a day off their retainers, while others earn 5,000G. That is a minimum. It makes no account for something like the 6 extra chances at (fairly valuable) minions. It makes no account for using ventures to obtain (potential valuable) items. It is a paid advantage, plain and simple.

Not only is this blatantly a paid advantage, it's practically extortion at this point. Plenty of people "need" that extra inventory space, but rather than sorting out the games inventory system, SE is trying to turn an extra buck out of the issue; "Oh yes... We can't errr, fix the Armoire because... um... server limitations! Yeah, please buy extra retainers instead!". By all means SE, I'll buy your dumb little minions like an idiot, but the extra retainers is crossing a line.
