We need an interface window - Glamour Collection - to free up inventory!

[Antonio_Xul]

We really don't.

It would be nice, sure, but then I'd have nothing to even use my retainer inventories for since there are very few crafting mats that are actually worth saving.

We really do, because then we wouldn't have to be spending real money for retainers. I wish I didn't have use retainers for glamour reasons.

While I wouldn't mind a glamour book option of sorts, hoarding all your items for glamours isn't a necessity by any means. You may make it a priority, but that's on you.

[MistyMew]

Glamour books are pretty much standard and default now in games, ffxiv is lacking in many ways, this being one. Definitely would improve the game se, mind you I dont expect it with the current "limitations" excuse for most suggestions.

They seem heavily reluctant to do anything at all to solve any of the inventory problems, or at least are very horrible at communicating progress on what they ARE doing involving inventory issues. We get one or two snippets on a blue moon and that is it.

That's because anytime they do share information on what they're trying, people take it as Word of God that it's absolutely 100% going to happen that way and if things change during the development process, whether that be because they found something they like better or the original idea is more difficult to implement than they thought it would be or another reason entirely, people will still dig up those old quotes years down the line and stick them in their sigs as proof of how untrustworthy they are and whatnot. I really can't say that I blame them for keeping quiet. :3

This is the answer right here. They are getting money for it so why give it away for free? While I don't personally rent out retainers, I know more than half the people I associate with do, with some doing the max amount. SE is not going to budge an inch unless they see sales from retainers drive down while complaint of default inventory space goes up.

Been asked for since glamours were first introduced it won't be happening anytime soon

And we have to keep asking for it so SE gives in under our constant nagging and fixes the problem one day
There are other things that don't work yet and are rooted deep in the system, and the devs are still working on ways to fix them.
There are lots of things we have now that at launch were considered too complex or impossible to do.
There are other solutions to this problem like the one Gokuhan suggested. But everytime the devs get asked about this, the answer is just "hire more retainers".
Well excuse me if at this point I think there is no INTEREST in fixing this issue because of the sweet sweet revenue those retainer fees give them :/

The problem is, we have so much gear in the game now, even if you rent the maximum number of retainers possible you still can't hold every gearpiece in existence.
*sigh*
I'd even pay monthly for a glamour catalouge x.X

[pushin_tin]

The devs backed themselves into a corner with their server infrastructure due to this game being chained to 1.0 systems. As long as people buy into the retainer racket or pay a slightly higher sub for more character slots to mule with, there's not much motivation for SE to hurry and improve it.

Servers, limitations, saving character data, yada yada yada

Depend of how the catalogue would work
If it allow to try on every gear ingame to find the right combinations (only to try on, for glamour you will still need the gear), then it will be not part of the character data, but with the gear database of the game.
It don't have to be ingame anyway. It can be also a Lodestone function.

Seconding this. I would love to see a function on the lodestone that would allow me to look up an item and then try it on my character.

I'm in agreement with what's been said about the paid retainers though. As nice as it would be to have a glamour inventory system, I sadly just don't see it happening any time soon.
