Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Zidou]

Would there a feature that can upgrade the current size and type of housing? For eg. from small plot of land to medium/large plot of land.

My suggestion:
1) Permit for demolition
2) Transfer/Enlarge plot of land
3) Permit for re-construction

The reason i am suggesting this feature is to enable FCs to purchase the land at their affordability first and in future, the land can be upgraded at any point of time if the financial resources are adequate.

Greetings, everyone!

I’m stopping in again to bring you some more information about plans for housing that are in the works!

As mentioned briefly during Letter from the Producer LIVE, in patch 2.2 we will be adding a cultivation system, which will allow you to cultivate crops from your house’s garden and use them for things such as cooking.

Additionally, though this is something for the future, we are currently looking into making it so you can dye furnishings that cannot presently be dyed.

Thanks Camate!

May we please also have:

1) Snap-to-Object
2) Show Gridlines
3) Snap-to-Half Grid
4) "Flip" Object (as like flipping in a mirror, especially good for L-shaped items)
5) Wall-Objects placable on Partitions
6) Show Rotation Angle (e.g. 30deg., 60deg., & so forth)
7) Option to Move/Remove Side-Wall Supports
8) Better Centering on Side-Wall decorum

So would Farming be a new job as well? It would be nice if the requirement to plant would be Botany Level 30 and Farmer opened up at Level 1 and you raise it through planting crops. (I played Farmville for 4 1/2 years now, since August 2009 and ready to plant a whole field and come back in 12 hours when they are ready to harvest!).

Awesome... We get to farm for items that sell for 50 gil already on the AH.

Some marble statues would be cool for the outside front lawn.

There's is not a lot of room in the "yard" to cultivate much in a FC house. Hopefully your talking about personal housing and we actually have a yard/lawn.

Doubtful since personal housing isn't coming for a while yet?!

Hi Camate,

Thanks for this news! It's pretty exciting.

Though, I wonder if I am able to get a hint or two more out of you... :3

Would these crops be a special sort of crop that we can't gather in the overworld? Something such as an Eorzean equivalent to a banana or peaches or kale to be used in new recipes?

Item slots needs to be increased with the housing size 75-100 for small ones or so and upgrade medium and large ones that faced emptiness issues already, to large 300 or so etc.
