in Final Fantasy XIV

clearly says on that page that additional characters would cost $3 a month and retainers would cost $1 a month.

 

All I can find in the account management is an option for adding new characters only.

 

Anyone know how you add more retainers? also, do you get a retainer in each city? or just 1? 

 

im completly out of space right now, and i have crafted everthing possible to reduce space, and im still full with only crafting materials....

    It's on the (long) list of things that aren't in-game yet.

    Yeah, crafters are getting angry with limited space. Well, maybe not just crafters. It is a bit strange that you have to pay real money for enough space to use all the crafting classes effectively.

    well i can understand it, the sub is 12.99 basic, and thats cheap for mmo0rpgs these days, so the $1  per retainer doesn't seem that bad. I dont think I would need more than 3 retainers, and that would put me at 14.99 a month, which is par for the market.

     

    they should deffinitly add them quick though, even if for their own sake LOL. I imagine 75% of the population will grab 2 extra retainers. That is alot of extra money for them.

    It should be noted that, in the historical perspective, Final Fantasy XI was notorous for having a severe lack of inventory space.  I think you had 30 slots?  Something like that.  Then you'd have to work your butt off for up to four "gobbie-bags" that would expand your inventory by 5 more slots each.   Thus, players would actually purchase other characters simply to use these extra characters as mules, probably beyond the design intention of the developers.

    Final Fantasy XIV is considerably more generous along these lines, giving you 80 inventory slots on your character and an 80 slot retainer right of the bat, with additional retainers being available eventually.  Further, I wouldn't be surprised to see that retainer's inventory slot expand later on, as a benefit of leveling up your retainer.

    Yeah, totally. Still, they should get those retainers rolled out as soon as possible.
