Let us withdraw items from unsubbed retainers (And saddlebag) please.

[Sililos]

Having retainers isn't cheap, add in the extra plus saddle bag from the apps sub on top of the retainer subs (its subs all the way down man!).

I had to unsub from mine and now have a bunch of retainers full of items i still need (Like all my materia).

If we unsub from the retainer and app services, at the very least let us be able to withdraw but not add items too the storage space please.
The the very fact we have to pay for this extra storage at a large premium is a total farce.
And hey, it has the extra benefit of freeing up data storage in the back end as these inactive retainers inventory's slowly empty, since the amount of data storage required is the general excuse used by SE for having the extra sub.

Its a win win for both players and SE too let us be able to take items out of inactive retainers.

it's a loss for SE because they lose leverage and can't hold your items hostage

That would be nice! Currently on my old account, I have one retainer I can't gain back access to at the moment because of weird Crysta payment errors not letting me buy more than a certain number of retainers for some odd reason. Though, this was back a few weeks back.

Just allowing access to a locked retainers inventory, while denying any of the other features would be a nice comprise.

How are they expensive? Are you renting retainers at 20 at a time or something? They are like what, a dollar?

Instead, why not reduce your sub down to the single character?

They do get quite expensive, each extra retainer (7 total) cost $2 each monthly and $5 for the extra one that comes with the premium app. I pay six month subs, so it ends up costing me $192.94 each time I resub since I have all the extra retainers and premium app.

So then I guess the question also would be - why do you (in general - not you specific) need that many? Even I craft, and I have four total, and it's plenty. I know people like the expeditions and all, but is that the only reason?

It's a combination of being an onmicrafter, a big housing enthusiast, so I store lots of furnishings because of the poor amount in my homes and also storing glams because the dresser doesn't have enough space and I like collecting glams. I also like having more chances of my retainers bringing me rare items like the neon lights and stone partitions so I have 20 retainers between my two mains but the drop rate is atrocious, it took 3/4 of a year to get my first neon light earlier today.

The better question is what downside is there to adding this feature where you have to push back on the OP?

I did try a 3rd retainer for a month, but I ended up releasing it since it didn't feel worth it. I can see if others want to do a lot of crafting and hold furnishings, which is quite a lot since housing slots haven't been increased for ages, and it feels bad to pay $5 per item later on.

The problem is this

• Retainers only re-activate from old to new, so if you want only what was on a 5th retainer you got to re-sub them all
• Retainers are locked to your sub duration, if you had a 6 month sub and 1 month in, then 5 months or no can do

Let me choose which retainer and its duration.
