Thread: Can we get an increase in Inventory space/Max Number of Retainers in 5.0 :D

What you see when you open the key items bags is just the UI copied from the inventory. Those are NOT usable inventory slots that the game remembers. The only slots that actually "exist" are the ones filled with items. That is different from normal inventory where they are all apparently accounted for at all times.

Yes. However, Final Fantasy XIV also have the most usable items from all games I have come across. The problem is that there is no glamour log (which exists in many games removing the need to ever take slots for glamour) and the crafting is filled with tons of materials that are useful only for one, maybe two recipes, and are useless trash otherwise. There is however to way to easily search what the item can be used for. No recipe log for materials that would show you what recipes the material is used in. So there is no way to know whether it's something you can actually have a use for, seeing as most of the older items are rather trash once you outlevel them (which happens so fast that they may be simply trash to begin with).

There is a need to revise the inventory issues, but frankly, it's not the number of slots. It's the compilation of the actual items.

Final Fantasy doesn't have much more items than other games its just the glamour system that is bad.

I'm not denying the possibility of there being other games with tons of items, but they are more likely in minority, not majority. I would've come across one of em otherwise.

I've played enough MMORPG's over the decade and i can tell you that there are enough games that have way more items than ff with less inventory and "bank" space. The point is most people are hoarding stuff that they never use just because they can and that goes for every game.
