Player housing, with a twist!

[Jinko]

Haha can you imagine the drama it would cause ..

Yea I don't think its a good idea.

what if my gf brings home another man while im out killing stuff

So... Still insanly high hopes Furnitures can be crafted & placed
in housing in 2.0 at some point.

(imo it would be fantasticly stupid NOT to implement such things)

Well, they already had some items for furniture creation at launch if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure they intend to put them to use at some point.

Hey, if you really want to share housing, just start a guild/PC house and have a 2 person guild/PC...

You can only be in one FC at one time.

I don't see why this would be a big deal. Make it so only the person who placed the items can move them, and it wouldn't hurt anyone.
Don't even have to get married to live together.

I would only support this if I could run a prostitution hub/harem from my player housing.

This sort of reminds me of SWG in a way. Not everyone wants a private "home". People will decorate to get the atmosphere they desire and willingly open their houses up at every opportunity.

A career DOH might want their own Workshop that players can visit and purchase items from that players retainer. In SWG there were always renowned skilled and reliable crafters you would take note of and return to when you needed something new.

A career DOL might not want nothing more than a Caravan or Market Stall to peddle their raw materials.

A more social or RP person might want their own Inn/Pub where they can host RP events and meetings (similar to Cantinas in SWG)

A beastmaster might want their own Barn to line up all their pets in.

shared house no.

but, if i visit a friend house it would be cool to interact with it.. like feed the chocobos or water the plants kind of things.

[LittleBraver]

They could always have an apartment type feature(2 adjoining rooms or w/e). That way each player gets to decorate their room to their taste. I'd be up for this idea.

edit: a lot of people seem to be against the idea due to inevitable drama an in-game relationship(lol) would bring. You don't have to room with someone you're dating! I'd personally love to share an apartment feature with one of my friends in game!

What sort of drama would it cause? Please explain.

Do you think one of the players would be able to steal the other person's gear or something? Don't be silly. If you got tired of your roomie, you could just pack your bags and leave any second you wanted.

I'm too lazy to read through, but wasn't there a mention of Linkshells sharing some sort of house? Like an LS manor I suppose.

FFXIV FARMVILLE!

When my last roommate moved out, I made a rule. No more roommates especially if I'm sleeping with them.

That rule applies in FFXIV.

Fixed that for you.
