One of the Podcast I listened to went over an interview Yoshi gave (forget where) and it was mentioned that we have backpacks or what not in the future, as well as some form of mannequin system, in which we can have (for example only) 6 full sets of gear preset together (whm build/blm build/bard build etc.) for various jobs. That sysyem is supposed to streamlin gear space as well.
