Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

Custom house music would be pretty amazing. Hearing the same day/night loop of music endlessly, no matter what housing area you're in, is a little tiring after a while - let us pick up some game BGM and set it! Maybe via a small radio-type furnishing (in-lore, functioning with linkpearl technology?) that can be interacted with, bringing up a music selection window, updated as you purchase music from an ingame vendor? Or a different radio for each bgm, but that seems much more labor-intensive. Even easier, and probably better from a functionality standpoint, it could just be something slotted in the options where we set our wallpaper/light - a new slot just for music. If it isn't anything that could tie in with a current craft, we could quest for it, or maybe have it bought with seals/from beast tribe vendors?

this most likely been suggested already but, how about...

Private room gardening, im not allowed to use the garden feature in my FC.
So it would be nice option to have that option open in my private room.
Kinda like in FFXI, get a few flower pots, plant stuff in them.

I noticed you guys are giving us lots of new furnishings which is awesome but are we getting more space? :/

Thinking about Laughlyn's request for private gardening, which I also would like to see implemented, what about the option of installing a glass roof for natural lighting in our private room, which would make the cultivation of potted plants more realistic? A small attached patio is another idea for private gardening but probably more difficult to implement.

Now when someone interacts with the table it zooms in (so you have the whole table in your Screen) and you can either just watch other People Change things on the table or Change things yourself.
This would really help organizing for raids ingame, everyone would know what to expect and how to move during the fights (at least theoretically) even if it is their first time. The Table could be made by crafters using nummerous steps and materials (maybe it would Need multiple crafters to work together to make different parts of the table), and the maps and markers could also be made by crafters (so they have allot to do with that).

i Agree with this idea whole heartedly as a FC Co-leader me and my buddy (FC master) , we train alot of our members in tactics and how battles work so far we have been using way points and Eos to represent where to stand/be under certain conditions to explain fights
Ex: ifrit extreme place waymarkers have healers stand in em have 1 EoS play ifrit and selene to play the role of Searing wind!

I would like to have some sort of in game calendar/community board for the fc housing. Not everyone uses third party guild sites. Most of my fc doesn't register to our guild site and I think it would be a lot easier if there was something like this in the fc house for people to post events. People could just "thumbtack" the event which would put there name down as attending or at least interested. There could be a community board part where people post things they need help with or event suggestions for the fc to do.The calendar is the most important part. I would love to go to the house, go to the fc calendar, see if there is anything going for the day and maybe post on there that that day, or a different day, that I would be running primals/coil/CT at a certain time of anyone else wanted to join. As of right now I have many members that get online just as in entering T5 or leviathan that need it but I'm full and by the time I'm done they logged off or I have to go to bed.

As it's been mentioned before, garden pots for private rooms. This way members can grow whatever they want too. The limits on the garden are pretty annoying to be bluntly honest. Most plants take 5-7 days to grow, on top of that houses have limited gardens. So having garden pots you can plant a seed in and grow would be a lot more beneficial overall. That way the garden can be used to not only grow a few things but also pump out seeds and then members can grow w/e seed they want in their room. Of course they can't get seeds as results/cross plant. Tho would have to keep it simple like a limit of 3 or 4 pots in your room otherwise it'd get out of control and someone would have a room full of pots flooding the market on items.

Could we have the inn room furnishings available for placement in the private quarters? It kind of defeats the purpose of having my own room when I need to dash to the inn to do something I should be able to do from my room (Like messing with the armoire, toybox, etc)

AWESOME HOUSING FEATURE !!!!

Add a "Wallmounted" furniture called "Mouse-hole" please!
Features: A mouse-hole in the wall, with a tiny mouse that comes out & eats a lil bit of cheese maybe?

Stationary-room pets, that can free-roam the private chamber!
Complete with a pet food & water bowl ofcourse! :p

Fishtanks & Jukebox is also on my wishlist!!!!!

More dyeable furnitures, like Rugs, wall designs (wallpaper) and flooring tiles.

Room Lighting!
Please make the room brightness turn down when its nighttime, Or add an lightswitch. :)
Because haveing candles etc dosent give the room justice if the room is always fully lit up.

Also, maybe a furniture storage inventory, like a loft where you can store unused furnitures.
(since there's a max furniture limit)

(Ps. Thank you so much Yoshi & Dev Team for private chambers & all the wondeful furnitures!) <3 :o

Can we get a mirror (of varying sizes)? Oval shaped, square, rectangle, anything, really. I'd love to have one in my room. ;)

A mirror would be an awesome addition to some as it can be made to give the illusion that a room is twice as big in the right angles.

As I am designing my personal fc room I have noticed in my persuit of a lab motif that besides book stacks there are a lack of miscellaneous junk pieces for table top, so I guess I would like lab beakers, scattered crystals or materia, jumbled papers, and maybe a chalk board wall mount with prefilled equations, or text.

Would love to have a Chocobo ceiling fan like this one from FFIX:

First, that's for all the awesome work, SE! I love this game and will be around for a long time. Keep up all the great updates!

-I'd love to be able to display gear sets i'm not wearing or cannot wear with current class on a mannequin and hand weapons etc. on the walls of the housing.
-I'd love to have a beautiful view from my private quarters and house windows, feels a little claustrophobic without window views.

I'm sure this has been listed somewhere.. But how are you able to teleport for a city's aetheryte straight to your housing district? Some guildmates are able to, but I've yet to find the way to.

Thinking about it more, I'd actually like to just have my own instanced property when personal housing comes out.
The neighborhood thing has kind of lost its charm to me, so a nice plot of land in a hidden grove would be great. Especially if there was no loading between inside and out.

Just hope there's no inactivity restriction on personal housing...
Especially if completely-instanced personal housing could actually be a thing.

If you mean from the city to the housing district: I believe you need to do the "where the heart is" quest for that city and it will open up as an teleport option from the (main) aetheryte in town.
If you mean from the housing district to the city: there is an npc in each housing district that will teleport you back to the city.

The various DoH guilds have some really interesting furniture, could we get some of those for our own homes?
We got the crafting tables etc, but it would be nice to have some more craft specific furniture to make our own ateliers.

I was thinking with the hunt being added some new wall items could be added. Like wanted posters, more detailed locale maps, and maybe a old school detective peg board map where you have notes and stuff written on the wall fixture (pre made of course).

I would like to see a Cactuar Statue - that moves around the house/yard when nobody's looking. ;)

Not sure if this has ever been brought up, but can you please make it so that the Projection and Purification Modules stay on, like other light furnishings? Before I made them, I assumed they did and had some real nice ideas of how I was going to use the holographic displays in my house...but as it turns out only FC members can activate them, and they only stay on for a few moments, like the Manor instruments. As it stands now, they're slightly interesting-looking rugs that I just have lying around. These things are way too cool to be relegated to such a lowly use!

yes please please pleasee bring in mannequins! they were great in ffxi and wld be even greater in ffxiv!

Placeable fake interior windows with views/changing light
More art
Ability to dye flooring and walls
Ability to hang items on the side walls of staircases
Wallpaper covers partitions
Fewer columns on the walls
FC banners for inside of house
Ability to turn lights off (more candles and lamps)
More fireplace options
Partitions with doors/doorways

I just want an increase in outside decor, and then all the trappings of a proper chocobo stables.
- Hey bales (made of greens of course)
- Pitchfork
- place able (un-magical)broom
- Bird less chocobo carriage
- water trough
- SLeeping Bo's, or atleast a hey pile.

- PLEASE allow us to place wallpapers on partitions
- Allow Culinarians craft food for display
- Introduce minigames we can play at the house. Chess, a simple card game, darts (lol), or anything really
- Housing pets would be pretty cool! aquariums, birds in cages, puppies, cats, etc
- Picture frames and allow us to place screenshots in them. Or maybe we could hire a photographer to take a picture that can be placed in there.


Not really needed, but, if you guys can find a way to add more items in houses, maybe you could add a construction option to add an additional floor or room and only let people add additional items once they've upgraded their house.

they should allow us to sell the house/plot

make a class like a farmer and have a spot where we can plant and harvest and have livestock like harvest moon LOL cuz the plant/harvest system that they have i dont like.

make a small house not so small, so add more rooms even if the out side looks like a square, they can make the inside of the house look bigger, actually they should let us buy more rooms

more wallpapers! more floors!

more house styles

an option to "remove all furniture"

a place to put the Fishes that we catch

I only want one thing:

-A light switch.

Room's too damn bright.

I would actually like the ability to dye my rugs. Some of the ones available are nice in design but forsake the integrity of the decor around it.

Also, A little flower pot to grow a plant in would be nice as well to grow a few personal items without commandeering the entire FC garden.

Hey all!

I was thinking about this today, and must apologize in advance if it's already been suggested/posted. I don't have a lot of time to browse the threads so it may have already been posted :confused:

I played XI for many years, and zoning into the Mog House/hearing that music...it always gave me an 'at home'/comfort feeling. So I was thinking it would be nice to have a radio so we can change the music in our private chambers.

I'm thinking we would have different radio 'stations' with different types of music. For example, 'Oldies' would play music from other/older FF games (or at least XI). The other stations would play music from within the game (XIV), like 'Battle' would play battle music, 'Holiday' would play music from the Holiday events, etc. etc.

Just a thought :) :p

It would be nice if all lamps and potted plants could be categorized as table top furniture, since table top furniture can be placed on both the table and on the floor. It would be nice to have the option to raise the current floor lamps, especially the interactive lamps, onto a counter, table, or pedestal so they can be seen and utilized at a height other than on the floor. The current table lamps are rather small, and the current floor lamps aren't very tall.

Also it would be great if we could change the interior pillar/crown molding/baseboard styles that come attached to the house, the same way we can currently change our wallpaper and flooring. (Maybe call it Glade/Oasis/Riviera interior frame or structure?) That way, we could change our interior without having to move somewhere we don't want to live. :P

I have not read all pages so perhaps it was mentioned but would love if we could have seasonal stuff, like christmas, halloween, Easter, etc. :D

Now that we have random retainers running around in the wild, I think it would be cool if they implemented random retainers walking through the FC house, as NPCs just to liven things up for the less active homes, and maybe give people a chance to show off how they played dress up with their retainers.

Maybe make it so that the game picks 1 (small house), 2 (medium) or 3 (large) retainers at random from FC members and has them walking/sitting around the FC house, with random comments based on the personalities people picked for them.

I'd rather have them walking around the housing area than my house.

is it possible to have more house style than Stone, Compiste & wood ? I would like to request other house style like a hut (wood) or japanese old style

When are we getting the guestbook feature? It seems to be in the housing menu but we're unable to use it. I'd love to open up my house for guests to come in if guestbooks were implemented :)

It'd be neat if you could get the flag poles from Frontlines for the yard.

I'd like to be able to put a screenshot onto a mosaic.

I would love minion and/or pet beds. Little cubbies, soft plush beds, or even a little hanging mini treehouse for scholar fairies. Something you could click on and your minion/pet would immediately go inside and sleep/rest. No idea if this would work since minions follow the player around, but just a thought ^_^

Funny you should ask this,

We’re currently looking into adding a guest book as a furnishing item for the future so that visitors can leave a comment. However, as there are other tasks at the moment that have higher priority, the details have not yet been finalized.

Such a horrible idea. We all know how good comment systems work in real life (google, facebook, etc). Why would we want to have a book where players could leave comments about us and our rooms or house in game? The dev team doesn't have enough time or resources available to keep a system like this to be "healthy". Please rethink this and put efforts into other things housing related.

it is optional, however I do agree with the rude thing in the game
