Don't know if this goes here but since it's an in game issue I figured I would try
Just started the game, picked starting class as thief noticed that I have my armor equiped but no weapon. Inventory is empty as well. I found my Mog house and was browsing around re-familiarizing myself with the menus and the safe brings up the items I own...low and behold it says I have an onion knife in my inventory and I can freely transfer it between my inventory and the safe yet looking in my inventory I don't see it there? am I missing a different command?
any help is appreciated.

looks like ur checking usable item inventory maybe, you'll need to hit the main menu and use that item menu, try hitting the " - " (minus key) on your numpad. If that's not the problem then u got some kinda funky bug
