The new Expanded Inventory View design

[MuseTraveller]

Thank you both! Yeah that feels a little strange. I guess it will take some time getting used to. :/

I think cause it looks more symmetrical now? But like stated before, you have overview of less items and that's annoying. I enjoyed my bird view too pre SB but was happy with the added slots. I usually had something unimportant on the 2nd page that rarely needed viewing.

Glamour plates are dumb and half baked.
My inventory looks like garbage.
I need to completely relearn how to play my harp since my old system is no longer compatible unless there's some way to rebind the performance actions to my numpad again (I can't get it to let me)
Oh, and there's a line to get into Kefka.

This new patch is dumb.

Does it not allow for it when you open the Performance UI and click on the settings? I saw I could change keybinds there, but didn't try changing anything, so couldn't say if numpad is restricted for some reason.

While this is a bit awkward, and yeah, obviously took some time to rearrange things, I'll be mildly optimistic and hope that maybe this is a precursor to more inventory. Although... probably unlikely, since this seems mostly aimed at the symmetry issue. More would just throw that out of balance again...

My favorite part is the 105 Key Item slots we have now.

This particular salt post made me giggle.

It's so sadly on point though.

Probably to accommodate the chocobag since it's 2 full tabs under the new regime. In hindsight, us getting the weird number of 140 inventory slots despite one of them being only half a tab was all leading up to this moment. Feels like arbitrary numbers tho which makes me wonder what came first, the numbers that brought about the design, or the design that brought the numbers....

I believe the original intention was to provide even more base inventory after stormblood's launch...
But, that didn't work out tech wise iirc.

Thus, they must have decided to 'clean up' the ui...
I can't help but feel it's some form of ocd with each page not having the same amount of entries...

I ranted to my FC about this the moment I logged in..

I have a whopping 3 key items. None of which I even need to hold on to.
I don't think I've ever broken 10 KI's at one time..

If they can afford to give us this many slots for KI's, why can't they afford to replace 50 of these slots for regular inventory slots?
Hell.. If KI's are so important, just let them overflow into my main inventory if I somehow manage to hit 50+ KI's...

I really don't care for forced changes like this. It's always better to give your players an option when doing something to the UI like this. I'd much more prefer a toggle option to keep the old look. Everything just feels out of place now.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this. If the expanded was the new 'Normal' i.e. 2 tabs shown instead of 1, I'd have been ok with it, but expanded only being 2 tabs now is rather awkward. I'm sure I can live with it, but I do wonder why they decided to dedicate dev-time to this when nobody (judging from this forum) had any issue with things the way they were.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
