Just throwing this out here. Currently the price of the retainers is 2€ or 2$ and the sub for a non legacy that still want the veteran rewards is 13-14 euro's. The two retainers you get originally in FFXIV wasn't even enough for the equipment and materials back then. Since we're now in 3.0 we definitely won't have enough room for anything at all.

Let's get to the point. Since retainers are actually pretty pricy and the majority of the players aren't legacy members. The active legacy members might be less than 10% of the current subscribers. Considering those people will be paying 13 euro's or dollars each month for the game itself, they're also expected too pay 2bucks per retainer.

This shouldn't even be allowed in a p2p game. Some people are literally paying up to 20bucks or more a month, just so they can play and keep all their equipment without selling/discarding anything. The one thing they could atleast do give two new retainers for each expansion released.

like this:
ARR = 2 retainers
ARR/Heavensward = +2 retainers
All 3 games = +2 retainers

Meaning you get two extra retainers with every new expansion.


I one of those people that's not willing too pay extra money for a p2p game, just so I can have the most optimal experience. The monthly fee should be enough and they should provide the ingame storage possibillities even if it's a long quest or a grind too unlock the next retainers.
