Something needs to be done about inventory space

[Kyrj]

The way inventory is handled in this game is quite frankly, atrocious. There is so much crap in this game from fish, tackles and lures, materia 1-8, furniture, armor, weapons, quest items such as memories, mats dear god the mats, you get the idea. What makes this even worse is that just about all of these items have a HQ version that takes up yet another spot.

And it feels like everything SE is doing is just a bandaid. 400 slots in the armoire is a drop in the bucket, hell one dungeon alone has something like 70+ items you can glamour, this isn't including belts for obvious reasons. Chocbo saddle bags can literally be filled up to the max with lures, tackle and fishing bait.

And I get it SE, I really do. It incentivizes those extra retainers on the mogstation, but something has to be done because the further we go in expansions, the more of a problem this will become.

Btw my own suggestion would be something like make HQ items as toggle, have them stack with our NQ items but if I press w/e button like alt, it shows me how many HQ of those items I have. That would clear up almost half of my inventory. Ideally we could just have WoW's catalogue for weapons and armor (and if they're generous mats) but I know they've stated it would be extremely difficult...

Adding inventory space won't solve the problem, because eventually you will still get full. The problem is that people are too lazy to manage their inventory so buying extra retainers allows them to be lazy for longer.

You can get all quest and achievement items again from the calamity salvager or achievement menu.

You can get craftable items again from the market board easily. You can get most loot easily from the market board or by unsyncing the content you got it from.

So you can safely get rid of most items because they are easy to get again.

I just wish we could craft from our retainer inventories. Personally I think, that would be the biggest quality of life they could make.

while I would love more space, I realize I would just accumulate more stuff I dont use.

currently, I only keep mats from Shb for anything that isnt food, and I really only make certain food. and I have space for any gear I think might use some day. even have some pots to spare. memories go when you complete teh quest, but would be nice if they were held in the quest item page.

unless you are planning on glamming even the ugly gear... then sure, you need tons more space, but I doubt anyone has tastes that wide ranging.

if they state it would be difficult to bandaid inventory to a state that you like, is it worth an expansion? several patches? because once you start affecting that timeline, a lot less people would be willing to do that.

THIS

It would be the best change ever to use what's in your inventory that we forgot that we had. This, and a WoW like transmog system for Glamours and Eorzean life would be complete.

They sell inventory space via retainers and saddle bag increase.

This means they are going to do everything they can to clog up your inventory.

They will never make it better for free, that would just be undercutting themselves.

All the crap tokens and books should be in the same way as company seals and poetics are

Saddlebags, larger stacks, the Glamour Dresser, currency movement to the "wallet" and more armory slots weren't "purchased".


So just saying. You are wrong. They have made it better for "free" several times.

Stop hoarding crap you don't need.

+ the removal of belts
+ the "removal" of many materia types
+ the addition of a universal lure for ARR fishing

That said, there is still more they can do. (moving all relic-related items, EX trials totem, weekly raid tokens to the the currency tab for example would already save quite a bit of space for some people. Or even to key items, and make the key items tab a separated tab, similar to the saddlebag, so that they don't have to load the data all the time, which they said is an issue)

For me the big issue is Big Fishing. Might be hoarding, but there is no way I just desynth or sell the big fish that I spent hours trying to get. Maybe one day I will be able to put them on my aquarium or maybe I will want to hang the prints on the wall of my house... I would like to have a way to buy a "replica" of my big fish for example...that would basically save me 2 retainers.
