lonelyVoxel Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 As the topic title asks, how should inventories work in FE? I think that five slots is enough, though the handheld Fire Emblems are the ones I've played most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 For me, having five slots is just not enough. Having eight, like in Radiant Dawn, is far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Also FE10, because seven slots are very nice. Even four different weapons can't be enough in some chapters. FE9 made it bad, because weapons and items were seperated. An unit could have a maximium of only four weapons. In earlygame it is likely that you have to discard a weapon, if you get a dropped weapon by an enemy. For me, having five slots is just not enough. Having eight, like in Radiant Dawn, is far better. FE10 has seven slots. Edited February 24, 2015 by Mister IceTeaPeach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragrath Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I will go with seven I like having room to carry a back up weapon ranged weapon and situational weapons + a healing item on my main fighters. 5 works but leaves you with no spare room to pick up items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I like having 5 slots. 7 gives you more flexibility, but 5 forces you to think a little more carefully about which specialised weapons to bring. With 7, you could pretty much equip whatever weapons you felt like and still have space for a healing item or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I kinda like the system where you have 4 slots for items and 4 for weapons, but that's just me. 5 slots is fine by me, though.

Ambulz Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I kind of felt Radiant Dawn's extra slots were a bit excessive. Five is perfect for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 So long as weapons and items are not split like they were in FE9, I'm happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Apparently RD gave you seven slots, so that. And when an item is picked up whilst you have a full inventory, it should go to the convoy, which should have unlimited space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 And when an item is picked up whilst you have a full inventory, it should go to the convoy, which should have unlimited space. it's not possible for the convoy to have unlimited space. 100 items is more than enough.

Mighty Kamina Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Radiant Dawn does the best job with inventory slots, IMO. It should be brought back to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) The category split of the inventory actually made sense when it was done in the original FE3 because that game had a lot of those Star Spheres that affected the growths if you carried them around. Why they thought this system would work for FE9 is anyone's guess, although it does fit the game's theme of bringing back old mechanics but doing them poorly.

Parrhesia Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 4 weapons, 4 items. Well, okay, five of each would be ideal. But four's enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Give us infinite slots. Let Marth carry a thousand swords. And let him throw them for good measure. Rain death upon them with my infinite hammer space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Give us infinite slots. Let Marth carry a thousand swords. And let him throw them for good measure. Rain death upon them with my infinite hammer space! 1000 needles? :P I think PoR and RD did it well, I liked the split between weapons and items, but I don't mind the standard 5 either.

Shadow Mir Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Give us infinite slots. Let Marth carry a thousand swords. And let him throw them for good measure. Rain death upon them with my infinite hammer space! How about 99,999 swords? :P (Dammit Cactuar King...) Back to the topic, I preferred RD's 7 slots, though I also didn't mind PoR's weapon/item split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 5 is more than enough. Characters shouldn't have more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 whichever honestly, 7's nice but 5 works out too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Why has no one suggested compromising with 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant head Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Also FE10, because seven slots are very nice. Even four different weapons can't be enough in some chapters.

In earlygame it is likely that you have to discard a weapon, if you get a dropped weapon by an enemy. Yeah FE9 is a pain before you get the convoy. I keep having Ike distribute his Iron Swords to people like Rhys and Soren, but even then it's hard to avoid getting forced to discard something. Thankfully FE9 is generous with money to where discarding isn't a huge deal, but I would still rather not have to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 RD's 7 is cool, but I do think 5 is enough. it's not possible for the convoy to have unlimited space. 100 items is more than enough.How is it not possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Because where is the game going to store like item #4093 to infinity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Because where is the game going to store like item #4093 to infinity?I'm sure there would be an upper limit due to coding, but if no one is reasonably going to hit it, it's effectively unlimited.

General Horace Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Does anybody actually come close to filling the convoys anyway? The only time I do is during a ranked run of FE7 or something when you have to hoard a bunch of stuff for the funds rank. As for the topic at hand, 5 inventory spaces is more than enough, but it really depends on the game. FE4 needed 7 slots, whereas FE9 really didn't. (FE9 had 7 as well right? It's been a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
