Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

To me, the 1st need is to remove that stupid limitation. I have a large house, 200 pieces of furnishing is just enough to make 1 floor and a half. The entire lower floor is empty because i reached the limit... They kept adding new furnishings at each update, but the limit stayed the same, which is ridiculous. Same goes for the garden... 40 ? really ??
To the very least, the items you can put on tables shouldn't count at all. An ashtray taking 1 space, as much as a wall. Sure.

A slipper shelf that automatically glamours peoples shoes into slippers while inside housing and apartments and dispels after exiting.

I don't know if this has been suggested already. I think it would be really neat if they made it so you could 'upgrade' your plot. Say you have a small, but you want a medium? You get the gil for it, you upgrade it to a medium. Your plot size changes. The map would have to change drastically to allow this to happen, of course. I think it would eliminate a lot of competition, create a suitable gil sink and maybe with the loss of ps3 it would be possible. Not everyone even has a house, but those who do have houses just want to move up from the house size that they have.. which creates MORE demand. They could even make increasing the item limit a gil sink. There's too much gil floating around in the game as it is. Instead of it being traded between players I think some of it needs to be taken out of the game completely (if that makes any sense at all.)

- Guestbook! As a craftable tabletop item, friends who visit your home may write a fun greeting.

- Family portrait! Place a screenshot of your FC or you and your spouse into a frame like the large portraits of Louisoux, Minfilia, etc.

- Different outfits for in-home merchants? The default outfits are super boring. It'd be nice to have them complement the home a bit, perhaps with the regional outfits sold in the Gold Saucer.

Oh yeah, one more!

- Trophy/crown case! Perhaps even just a wall-mounted shelf on which you can display your crowns. These crowns represent some great achievements, but they don't lend themselves to good glamour. It would be nice to be able to show them off if they don't complement your character's aesthetic.

Would it be possible to remove the invisible portion of the mounted bookshelf so it can go flat against the wall? I'd just like to use it on one wall instead of across an entire room, but there's a forced gap if I'm making it face forward.

Would like a day/night playlist (or ability to split current playlist of 8 into 4 daytime + 4 nighttime tracks) for Orchestrion. Would greatly (imo) increase the immersion if the Orchestrion can timely play the upbeat tracks during daytime and soft tracks during nighttime.

with this many posts on this topic I'm sure this has been posted but - mannequins like XI did or at least something I can display my collection of weapons/armor that I didn't npc sell or desynth....

Another thing is the Eastern wares NPC in Mor Dhona should sell futons!

I'd like an actual futon with tabletop attribute someday, but for now it's possible to make your own pseudo-futon by clipping a bed into Round Oriental Table:
