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

What game are you comparing it to? all games i know of give more space then FFXIV does.

You have to consider ffxiv puts currencies in your inventory, other games do not do this, FFXIV lacks a glam log, where other games like wow totals around 1000 items you can glam from it. Alts in wow have more meaning, esp with a solo guild chest alt there. In ffxiv, the chest is TINY af, esp when you are doing 4 airships and 4 subs.

Just because other games may have a smaller count in raw number of slots, does not mean they have less inventory. With the excessive item bloat this game has, FFXIV is on the smaller end of inventory space available i am sure, and wow completely dwarfs FFXIV in that regard.

With other games having 1 class per character, and having an easier time to level alt characters, it is a lot easier for other games to claim more inventory space.

NO! do not settle, it SHOULD be 1 free retainer per expansion AT LEAST! so going into 5.0, we should have 5 total free ones, that or start actively trimming down item count.

SE should just get rid of item management from retainers outright and do what other games do, have a real item bank, and allow players buy extra tabs in it, make retainers ventures only, and start handing the MB like every other game. Because this system simply does not work and whats going to happen with 6.0, 7.0? where the endgame crafts there still use items from all other expansions?

Item management in this game is very outdated, even when we are comparing it to the original runescape.
