"If you ignore them long enough.."

they'll eventually forget about it. " - Developers

More gears. Check.
More materials. Check.
More glamour gears! Check.

So. About the additional storage space. What's the progress?

Making it possible for us to desynth or turn in our gears for GC seals are just cover ups.
Can't fool me!

Note 1: Ok. Originally the objective of this thread was to bring up storage space issues. But reading the comments below, I believe that we can achieve greater potential in terms of tro.. helping them improve this game.
Note 2: In the event this thread gets deleted, know that it is not me.
Note 3: In the event that (Note 2) occurs, I implore you to kindly duplicate a copy of the thread and update them.
Note 4: I may get the ban hammer for "sticking out". But hey

Now here's the fun part.
(All of the below are credited to the original users who posted them - was gonna quote but takes way too much time and clutters the whole page).

COMPILATION OF THINGS SE CAN IMPROVE ON:

Storage space:
Additional retainer
Improvements in armoire
Glamour book

Aesthetics:
Class identity - primal gears for specific roles would have been really nice.
Class bardings

Companions:
Fix Choco medica
Companions other than our chocobos

PVP:
Castle siege or something similar
Remove GC restrictions to even the playing field
Think twice about removing PvP Ranks

Battle system:
RAID WIDE CD RESET ON SKILLS UPON WIPE (CAPS INTENDED)
Fixing parry
DRK's synergy
AST's Gravity skill - increase the radius of this spell

Materia:
Elemental materias - huh?!

Grand Company:
New GC Ranks - was it 2 years already?
A reminder of the whole point of GC system again - especially in PVP.

Free Company:
FC Alliance
Additional FC storage space

Personal Housing:
Promise of personal housing that would be both separate and much cheaper than free company housing

Nice to have:
A way to relive / redo quests - Class quests, MSQ etc
Uncap debuff slots taken by bosses / enemies
Lord of Verminion more easily accessible because nobody plays that
Add-on support
Summoner's egi update
DRK's black flame - the originally intended one.
Bunny ears for males
"Don't forget the butt slider" (I didn't see this coming)

Conflicting opinions:
The ability to enter dungeons with NPCs
The possibility of using retainers as companions inside and/or outside of dungeons

[Evangela]

then they're gonna announce a great news that we can hire up to 20 retainers.

The progress is $2.00 per 30 days for each additional retainer. What, you thought they'd fix inventory issues for free? Nah, they've got to fund project "Lets butcher Final Fantasy VII" somehow.

I would also like to know where the following concepts are:

-The ability to enter dungeons with NPCs
-The ability to have companions other than our chocobos
-The possibility of using retainers as companions inside and/or outside of dungeons

Having NPC partners was mentioned by the devs as a possibility some time ago, but it has gotten little to no coverage since.

Gather here all conspiracy theorist!

I think they have addressed this several times. I mean wasn't it asked again the live letter before last. I doubt they are under any belief that people are going to drop it as an issue.

Frankly I think they need a pretty major overhaul of their Server setup particularly as the game continues to expand. The question is if they have the means and the time to do such a change.

Actually what they were talking about was creating a system where the player could recruit and develop a grand company squad and do content with it. Im pretty sure they didn't mention retainers at the time and I don't think it was intended to replace the Chocobo companion.

Doesn't that kinda, I don't know, defeat the purpose of playing an MMO to begin with if you just want to play with NPCs?

[Nalien]

I would also like to know where the following concepts are:

*Thinks back to beta when Chocobo Companions were being shown off*

*Thinks of how Final Fantasy XIIs Gambit system was mentioned*

*Looks at their dumb Chocobo casting Choco Medica*

Sigh...

Don't get me started on Primal Summoning... I don't want to do that whole song and dance...

[Saccharin]

then they're gonna announce a great news that we can hire up to 20 retainers.

...for an extra monthly fee.

Or when the game starts to die out kinda like with 11 and the Trust magic to spawn NPCs to fight with you in a party. Which is kind of a sign that its on its last leg I would assume. I could be wrong but I also tried 11 about 2 years ago and trust magic was the most I could get to having a party being new.

Updated thread with much stronger objective.
