Inventory Suggestion

Not to be mean, but I did laugh. They have serious game design issues or at least we have been told. They would need to cancel stormblood and rebuild the game from scratch. I truthfully don't understand it. Is it because of playstation, japanese company, lack of skill they can't seem to get some simple features that are in other games.

The amount of data your character hauls around in the form of equipment, materia stats, items, and item arrangment makes for a pretty large file. Making sure you don't accidentally lose something means that data is being saved like every 15 seconds. For every character. That takes a large, high performance storage array, and at least the way things are coded and the with the hardware in use now. They've been pushing the limits.

Hotbars, gearsets, macros, and ui settings are stored client side. Retainers and other storage chests are separate because they are accessed rarely, and only on demand.

Yes, having bag slots being filled with bags of multiple sizes is truly a shining example

When I said add tabs, I didn't mean that instead of inventory space. I literally meant at least a full page for crafting items.

Already ingame
You can choose if a new item should put into the first free slot or if it should sorted into a inventory tab by category automatic. Of course, work only if enough space is in the inventory.

I'm hoping their improvement of inventory includes putting all those various currency and token bits into the Currency window, rather than our inventory. xD

That would help too.

[Rinuko]

I would be surprised if they dont include the new inventory changes with 4.0 at launch

Should make is so things like crafting mats, Ventures, etc go higher than 99.

Increasing the stack size would already make a huge difference, besides that SE should make most things that are not unique, like equipment, be stack-able, that way we would have more space and they couldn't use as excuse it uses too much data!...

Two bytes of data per item would do fine, it could go up to 65,535 units per stack!...

[vp_cmc]

Four bytes of data per item would do fine, it could go up to 65,535 units per stack!...

But.. That's two bytes!

[SigmaOZ]

But.. That's two bytes!

You're right, corrected!...
