Retainer UI update

I don't care about the flavor text at all. You can just spam click through it. What bugs me about the update is that you have to actually check the retainer to see how much money it has, which makes that feature pretty much useless. I thought it was going to provide me with an easy way to check which retainers had sold stuff without having to remember how many items they had when I logged off. Storing money on retainers is utterly pointless unless you're server transferring.

I'm pretty sure GIL is listed on the primary UI, so you don't need to click on the retainer to check that..?

The value doesn't update until you interact with the retainer. If your retainer had 0 gil the last time you looked at it and sells 3 items, you'll still see 0 gil until you summon it again.

Shows how well I paid attention to that. Guess I just never noticed cause they aren't actively doing much atm XD

I personally enjoy the little things like my retainers talking to me.

I like the personality it gives them, but it would do that just as well in an overhead speech bubble that we don't have to interact with.

This is the part that bugs me most. They went to the trouble of adding a gil display for each retainer, but without having it actually show how much gil the retainer has? Why? Once I interact with the retainer, I'm going to pick up whatever gil they have, so it's always going to show 0 once I dismiss them. Is it just as a reminder if you forgot to pick up the gil? Completely pointless.


Still, I am glad we at least don't have to re-select the bell between each one any more. It at least saved a little bit of frustration there.
