Expanding mog house!

[Netheos]

/signed. As the dev said, there are some great ideas in here. You guys have been extremely creative and professional with your opinions. Not to mention that they would improve the game. Great job!

Sorry for the wait Wibbly ^^; More to come! /salute Great job on the additional stuff to the post btw.

2: The Balcony or Greenhouse: While your moogle might have a green thumb the likes of which no other moogle can compare to, the plants you're trying to grow might want more sunlight to help them grow big and strong! This might be a good excuse to add an exterior expansion to your mog house, even if it comes included in the final expansion of your mog house.

And had to include the use of furniture ^^ /

2: Usable Furniture: Multiple animations have been added to allow NPC's to enjoy their environments, so why shouldn't PC's be able to as well? Allowing use of your furniture adds one, notably comfortable, layer to the uses of the furniture you purchase for your home. Sit down to meetings with your LS by actually sitting down to a meeting! Feed your fish tanks! Take a cat nap in your arm chair next to the fire.

/kneel ^^ Thanks Wibbly, I'm glad you liked'em /salute

The simple yet awesomely cool things like sitting in chairs must be shown lol! Here's to hoping the Devs can bless us with chance to do so

The tiny crag in the fish tank made me laugh. Besides the mithra's expression anyhow.

Love the illustrations Kingfury, I hope someone on the team checks them out!

I was talking to LS mates a while back about MH stuff, I'd love to see the expanded houses for each nation and maybe the ability to have one in Jeuno ( or the style of the houses in upper Jeuno with multi rooms )

I also think an area like how chocobo circuit is set up would be amazing if it were an outside area for a small neighborhood maybe a few LS people in each one. Block party go! I'd like to see your house have a lawn for your raised chocobo, wyvern or carbuncle to idle in. Or a pet bed in your house where they can idle in. I always wonder where my pets go. and letting your moogle plant outside (like the greenhouse mentioned above),maybe on the other side your lawn a crafting furnace hosted by your NPC fellow.

That or i'd be happy with a penthouse overlooking port bastok. I'm sick of living in a basement studio apartment. lol

lol ^^ I went to the pet store not too long ago and past by the fish tank accessory isle and was amazed at all the lavish things you can pop inside a friggin' fish tank! The 1st thing that came to my mind for FFXI fish tank furniture was a crag lol It would of course have glowing tele pads to boot! Fish I'm guessing would like that sort of thing right? not to mention players would /stare for who knows how long at it lol o.o

-Crag of Mea in your fish tank

Yeah, to the poor unfortunate fish that get to be raised by Mithras, /Terror Look out! She's pretending to clean the tank again! /Run away! Cast Warp II on yourselves!! ><;

I gotta say, I wouldn't mind any of your suggestions for an entire homestead! lol Great images flooded into my head after reading your suggestions so if you don't mind, I'd like to visualize a few if I can. Hopefully the Devs have already got the idea from all the feedback in this great thread that players want another level of "Role playing" inside FFXI that gives us a place to call "Home" instead of a place to crash for the night. I know it would be on pare with developing something like an expansion development time-wise, but lets hope in the coming years with the future of FFXI in mind they truly hear the outpouring of request for something this cool and include it with a possible future expansion.

I was a big fan of the Phatasy Star III game element that allowed for you marry and settle down while passing your responsibility and problems along with your war-ridden life onto your offspring lol.

Copied from the Phantasy Start III Wiki:
"The feature that mostly separates Phantasy Star III, however, is that the story spans three generations of characters. At critical points throughout the game, the main character is given the option of marrying one of two women he has encountered during his travels. This choice determines the new main character of the next generation -- the child (or children) of the previous lead. The choice also affects the gameplay, as the main character may be Orakian or a mix of Layan and Orakian, which differ in their ability to use techniques and their level of proficiency with them. Two paths in the second generation in turn lead to four paths in the third and final generation, and depending on which of the four main characters is played, the ending will vary."

It was such a strange/cool concept back then playing that game to see a new, yet similar, face that you can continue to progress through the game with ^^. Who knows, if FFXI incorporated something like what Phantasy Star III did above, it could solve the whole "Let us Change our hairstyles" dilemma lol @.@ In any case, we would have a real home to retire in complete with the lawn and chocobo ranch if we so chose, or even if we didn't "retire". Really cool stuff. ^^ /

By all means, go for it. I'm really bad at drawing architecture. Seeing what others envision from some ideas is always fun.
it would be great to have upgrades, now would be a good time to do them since more and more people are setting their home points back in starting towns with the AH fix and abyssea npcs being local.

There was talk about UI changes, if those happen then maybe possibly they could add in things like hairstyle changes and the like. I think the Phantasy star idea is cool, but i'd feel like a bad parent every time i'd go out to kill monsters. it would be crystal war all over again. lol if they did something abyssea-like with that it could work, especially with how WOTG set up their story for Lilisette.

btw, I love the fish tank, its too cute. I'm surprised we haven't seen a witty furnishing like that in game so far. keep up the great work!
