How much inventory space do you want?

[Xenor]

I currently use about 420 spaces counting the items I hold on my other character. Most of it is various ores, gems, nuggets, logs, branches and important mats that you just don't throw away. I counted up the other day, I have about 800 iron nuggets with the mats to make about 2200 more. That's about 30 inventory just on iron due to various qualities of ores. Then there's mats saved for later such as radiant moraines and some broken gear that needs vintaging.

So I'd like 500 space. Problem is when the rank cap goes up and new mats like ebony, darksteel, platinum etc. are added as well as more jobs ranked up with optimal gear I'm going to need more space.

600 should do it for me, Yeah I said it, 600.

It's infinite or more than enough in bank/house in any other recent MMO. Why would that be ridiculous?

Let's tell you the problem:

1. XIV will be on a console.
2. Consoles are limited memory wise and can't draw up and access infinite space. Do you think game designers purposefully design inventories to have an ultimate limit just to mess with you?
3. MMOs have infinite space but they ALSO have a counter weight, e.g Bag Size, Weight Limit, "Strength limit" and so on, so its infinite, but not.

I am crafting now actually. And I do it smartly. I sell of stuff I do not need at the moment. I can always go out and hunt items I need. I do not hoard everything. I also try and use gear labled "all classes" that way I can freely switch w/o worry.

You guys are subjected to hoarding. A pretty common thing. You hold any and all items feeling one day you will need it. instead of selling it off and hunting it a later day. Hunting items is something to do in game.

Leveling isn't always about becoming stronger it is also about making lower stuff easier.

Good going for you if you can continue to manage your inventory so smartly. ^^

I hope you don't run into problems with inventory space after playing for a few months and trying to level up 4 or more different crafts, and maybe get to a point where people regularly ask for your help to make items (where you may find it is necessary to have certain very basic materials on hand instead of hunting market wards for every single small item you need every time - many of which aren't available), and continue to play different battle classes as well and keeping weapons and armor for those too.

You people that want more storage just go get more retainers, just that when you have to pay for this game your real life wallet will also have a lot more space.

Problem solved ingame and out, more storage for XIV and more storage for real life.

the way i manage my inventory right now

Inventory: enough equipment for one dow and a set that functions for both dol and doh, everything else is crafting items to sell or use.

retainer 1: completely filled with crafting stuff for bazaars

retainer 2: equipment that I will use now or in the future when i level another class. When i have outranked the armor/weapon in every class i am going to use it for i sell it


Basically the problem right now is that they made way way way too much stuff required to craft and then they made +1,2 and 3 versions of nearly all of it, I would be fine with even more inventory space but how much of it can they add before A) it becomes a serious pain to manage
B) it becomes problematic for them to store all that data for everyone.

I'd be much happier with a reduction to the amount of STUFF we have to use to craft and taking +numbered components out of the game.

Plus i wouldnt be throwing away any and all food.

Sure. I would gladly pay to be able to hire more retainers.

By the way, just in case you weren't aware -- currently we can only employ 2 retainers regardless of how much we are willing to empty our pocketbooks.

It would be nice to be able to play for a long time without selling items to the NPC. I suggest pushing the available memory to the limit for inventory space. In offline FFXIII it seems like you can hold an infinite amount in your inventory, and that's on PS3.

[Neptune]

PS3 can't call up an infinite amount of space, especially for an MMORPG. No console can.

@FFXI:
80 Inventory
80 Mog Sack
80 Mog Satchel
70+ Locker/House/Storage
Moogle that can store everything

That's the only form of "infinite" space possible really if this game will be on a console.

Oh, really, what about FFXIII and SNES RPGS? Damn the SNES must have had way more memory compared to the PS3 since I could hold so many items in my inventory!

[Nephera]

I'd be more worried about their database servers than the consoles
