Sort by Durability ?

Okay so far as I understand; there will only be 100 slots of inventory space we can utilize, and from reading on further, there will also be a mannequin system in place for gear. Depending on how this mannequin system works and how many jobs worth of gear that can be stored; this may just work. As it stands now, I have around 60 - 80 pieces of gear I carry around at a time. That covers all my crafts and gathering classes and the gear for BLM, PLD, and BRD. If I were to level up the rest of my class of DOM and DOW that would push me well over 100 pieces of gear. I believe that if they gave us a mannequin for each class; all 18 of them, then we shouldn't have a problem with our inventory space. It would be nice if someone could verify this mannequin system everyone speaks about, because as of now I only know this to be hear say. Any Dev care to verify this info?

Please give us multiple auto sorting features. I can't stand bag system in wow. It is way too hard to keep track of your inventory.

The 5x5 bag thing isn't exactly a new development. We've seen it since the first 2.0 concept screenshot:


The bottom right shows 7 5x5 bags. They've talked about how the different colored dots represent different types of items. Seven 5x5 bags along with mannequins seems like it'd be more than enough. Obviously that stuff is subject to change but for the people who think we'll just have one 5x5 bag, I think you can assume we'll have a few more than that.

What is the overall purpose of 5x5 bags as opposed to say just expanding the current tabs in the inventory to cover things like "weapons" "rings" etc etc (which would be more in tune with FF). Is it an indication that one or more of these bags will be lootable if we die in pve or most likely pvp like some other mmos?

Well, since they will be implementing drag 'n drop functionality, items will probably be displayed as square icons rather than just names in a list. So this would accommodate easier viewing and organizing of items, in my opinion.

In this screen we see four 5*5 bags and a "U" bag. I wounder what the U is.

I echo the concerns of the people who prefer having all their stuff in a single, sortable list. Having everything in seperate bags sounds kind of annoying, to be honest. I hope that there will still be functionality for just using a simple inventory list.

Not at all, you can put food and potions in bag 1, crafting mats in bag 2, Materia in bag 3, it actually provides much better customisation and sorting options.

Anyone who has played WoW or any other modern MMO knows how easy it is to use multiple bags, that being said in those games you can open all 5 bags at once, hopefully this game allows that also.

Exactly, reading through the thread it only seems logical that you would be able to specify what type of item goes into each bag and even specify whether drops are allowed to go into a bag or not. The long list of items we currently have is a bit annoying. Breaking it up into smaller more organized bags would be much better and easier to deal with in the long run.

I would like to be able to give or select a title for a bag based on the contents of the bag. So I could name a bag say, "Weaver's Bag" and have all my weaving supplies in that bag.

One other thing I was thinking to help with inventory would be to make the Crafting guilds actually useful places to go to and craft. Perhaps a guild banking system where you could deposit materials specific to that craft. So based on my level as a Weaver I would get "X" number of slots in the Weaver's Guild bank.
