Retainer Clarification

[Ryaz]

Yep. I have 4 retainers. Only 2 free, the other two I have to pay for. You can pay for up to 7 more right now, for a total of 9, and once the app comes out, you can pay $5 so you an spend another $2 to hire a 10th retainer.

Yes, you now need to pay microtransactions just so you can buy more microtransactions.

The 10th retainer is actually apart of the $5 premium package, no separate additional 2 dollar charge.

I'm afraid not. Not according to the Live Letter anyway:

The premium plan adds various additional features such as inventory management between retainers, the ability to purchase an additional retainer on the Mog Station, and also doubles the capacity of the saddlebag.

Apparently (according to Reddit) Yoshida was also quite insistent on stream that it didn't include the retainer, just the ability to hire.
