Let vendors hold our currencies.

Something FFXI realised later in its lifespan was that it was bogging us down with too much currency in our inventory.

I’d say FFXIV is reaching that point, with currencies like totems, normal raid currency, savage pages, far far too many relic currencies (I’d probably hit my word limit if I tried to list them all) and arguably materia. My chocobo saddlebag is almost full entirely with currency and it’s still overflowing into my general inventory.

So what did FFXI do about the currency problem? Made it so you could hand in your currency to the appropriate vendor to hold for you until you were ready to spend it. It wasn’t the most elegant solution since every time you did content you had to trek all the way to the vendor to store your currency. But what if FFXIV took the basic concept and improved on it? Like having a bank NPC in the main cities who will take all currency and store it with the appropriate vendor for you. So you could hand in currency directly to the vendor or the bank.

It would free up a lot of inventory space for those of us that like to keep hold of our resources and I can’t see any excuses about PS3 limitations or whatever since FFXI could accomplish it and it’s on the PS2 dev kit.

I’m worried for endwalker right now since my inventories are already practically full and I already had to dispose of my ARR and HW currencies to make that space, I don't want to keep bleeding currencies as the expansions go on.
