Personal feelings about personal shops?

If you bothered to read, it says they would be placed in the gardens of houses..outside.

That is not the case at all on Balmung.

Still not a fan of the whole fracturing the market thing. The broker provides a centralized location to do business; I have no desire to have to sift through personal shops to find stuff.

You may not able to answer this but here goes. Will we be able to use the vanity crystals to change the retainer's look? My FC house, which I am close to to saving for, will be on an RP server and serve as our headquarters. As such the NPC would be better to be in Flames gear for us. So will customization be available?

What happened to this feature? I can't place an NPC in my garden nor can I open my own store. >.>

Yes THiS!

It was quite literally the worst economy system ever seen in any game ever!!!
Do NOT bring it back!

No updates? Lol

Not sure how you exactly want this to work. Do you mean as a way to replace the market board entirely? Or would they co-exist?

Kind of awkward, but they did bring it back with the addition of the search system they later added in 1.x.
