'Kuji's Remarks: Well, I don't even have one set of AF armor so I'm thinking the new AF storage is for some of the more hard core, long time, players; most of which are probably in Japan. The new search comment sounds interesting and as for the new areas go, I doubt that I'm a high enough level to go there yet but can't wait to check it out someday.
Edited the subject to reflect the topic better and added new update info to the original post.
