Inventory space

[Inaaca]

You guys are aware of the mannequin system coming in 2.0, right? Gear won't take up inventory space anymore and there will be 1-click gear set changes between classes/jobs.

I don't know about you, but in my case gear takes up most of my inventory anyways, so I won't need the 200 spaces anymore once the mannequin system is in place.

I was looking forward to the storage for event items mainly, but it sounds like it might not have that capability? :\

They should really sort the Materia issue better, I think.

Making them stackable is a good step, but since there can be many types of materia for each tier (I mean T1 being, i.e., INT+1, INT+2, INT+3, etc....), staking them doesn't really help much.

There are only 2 good solutions, imho:
1 - Make a separate tab for materia (like with crystals); [BEST OPTION]
2 - Make all materia of same tier have the same stats.

Transferring items to retainers is bad enough as it is with the current netcode. I'm assuming transferring to-and-from storage will be just as annoying.
I am not looking forward to this change.
I'm not against storage in general, but I would much prefer this to be implemented in 2.0 when transferring items becomes more streamlined.

Why even release the storage box if you can't put seasonal event items into it? That was the primary reason people wanted it.

They didn't say you won't be able to store seasonal event items, they just said there are concerns about problems arising. To me that means it may not initially come with that functionality but that will come once they fix said problems.

Then the feature is useless. It shouldn't be released until it is ready. That's how this game got into the situation that it's in.

If the storage cant store event items, tell the devs dont bother adding it untill it can.

So you'd rather not be able to store SOME U/U gear because you can't store all event gear just yet? So they shouldn't add something in to alleviate the situation until it can reach full functionality? In most cases I'd agree but this is storage, it's not an incredibly complex system that changes the core of the game. It's putting shit in a box. Personally I'd be happy to store all my excess AF for the time being and be happy knowing that event item storage is coming. Must it really be all or nothing if they can increase the functionality later?

In all honesty? Yeah, I probably would. I'm fairly tired of this attitude they've been taking with this game. Nothing they release ever works properly. All we ever hear about is the costs to implement, and how shitty a server structure is. I'm tired of excuses. One of the reasons this was asked for in the first place was the seasonal items. I want a stable, finished, implementation. Perhaps people may not agree with my stance, and that's alright but i'm tired of these half-assed unfinished services.

Why would anyone be happy about decreased inventory slots? As a culinarian and when I have more jobs with armor and weapons out the kazoo to keep, not to mention all the crap that drops during parties... 200 slots goes pretty quickly. I don't know about you but I like playing the game instead of taking hours to arrange my inventory because I don't have enough room to store my armor and weapons. I also agree with the OP about the RDM job in FFXI, I had every elemental staff also and I always had a full inventory.

I wouldn't mind a quest like the gobbiebags to give us more inventory space, but I don't like that they're taking it away. Although I'll admit that 100 slots is better than 30 slots like some games give though.
