Chocobo Saddlebag: Useful or Redundant Addition

[Galadín]

Back in Patch 4.2 when the Chocobo Saddlebags were added, the additional storage space possibly overrode any thoughts or reflection a player may have regarding this introduction. Now that the spark of hype has long since settled, what are your thoughts of these saddlebags? Do you find them to be a godsend or would you have preferred to see the expanded space allocated to your retainer's storage instead or perhaps even to your own main inventory? Does the separate storage of the saddlebags which is accessible when out in the wilds make a difference or does it feel redundant in consideration of the idea of having the space integrated to your own inventory instead? In short do you find the Chocobo Saddlebags a useful or lackluster solution to your storage situation?

my chatacter’s inventory is a big mess and my retainers are almost out of space! I mainly use the saddlebag to store crafting mats that I save for later or try to gather more of (even though sometimes I forgot about them sitting there )

...I've actually not used this yet?

Is it actual permanent storage or will it disappear if you haven't subbed for a certain amount of time, etc?

It's permanent although I'm not exactly sure why they felt the need to call it "Chocobo saddlebag" since it can be accessed from the menu without having to have your chocobo summoned or even around - your feathery companion can even be stabled and you're access isn't curtailed in the slightest!

More free room! I completely missed that. Also that's hilarious. Character saddle back then technically, lmao.

I'd say it's useful then! Specially if you can access it from anywhere. You can really sort out your items then, which... I love organising.

Well, you hide a bow up your butt, so why not crafting supplies?

It's still not enough room for me but it should have been added to inventory space or retainers and not in a separate menu. I regularly find myself getting inventory full sometimes even with it D:

I honestly forgot that this thing even existed, haha. Nonetheless that you didn't even need to have your Chocobo summoned to access it.

I think I'd rather just see our regular inventories be expanded. Ain't no one got time to go through these additional menus
