Things you wish Island Sanctuary to have before 7.1

An actual housing plot either (small/medium/large) at this point. (either generate like 2-3 of those plot placards and let people pick there spot)

Ability to remove the mammets

Option to add the mounts like the minions for free roam

Slap some gil as a reward so folks can get some steady income for keeping up with beyond 7.0. Easiest way going about would be just adding those allagan pieces to token exchange, cap it weekly if they dont want to get it out if hand. But yeah something like could work instead of it being outright dead by 7.0 since it seems they plan on abandoning it for something else...

honestly.. imo they cant fix is anymore to be more like well an island.. theyde need to do some serious rework

The housing system is largely in a good place capacity-wise (not being able to get a Large, or a house on Balmung, doesn't constitute a 'housing crisis'), so an instanced house wouldn't really be worth it tbh. I wouldn't object to it, but I won't be disappointed if it isn't there.

That being said though, I suspect the new feature they're introducing in 6.5 for level-cap players will be the long-term fixture. Commissions of Island Sanctuary items in exchange for some form of currency. Probably cowries, but it could be gil or tomes if they wanted.

Some sort of gameplay loop that is more than just "earn cowries".

Where did you hear this? My understanding is the final update will be in 6.5x and there will be no further updates to it unless there is demand for it.

7.1 onward will focus on another life-style content.

Unlikely. Island Sanctuary released in 6.2 so it will most likely be 7.2.

Before the plug is pulled, here are the dearest things that I wish to see:

I think it's too late. Whatever final changes are coming, they are already completed. 6.5 is literally next week. They could make changes in 7.x if players demand it enough, but otherwise I don't recommend expecting it.

For proof of this: Eureka never got updated after 4.x. Bozja never got updated after 5.x. Ishgard Restoration never got updated after 5.x.

They did update Diadem after 3.x but this was because it was failed content and they were determined for it not to be and had ideas to fix it.

The change that should happen is being able to place houses and indoor furnishings to finally solve the housing problem. If they have trouble with capacity they could make use of these new cloud servers they got.

I didn't know people were still enjoying island sanctuary.

The ability to pick and choose what kind of ground type each "plot" uses. Right now the glamour system is made so that the entire sanctuary uses a single, unified ground type (grass, pathway, dirt). It makes for really limited customization (I mean in general, everything is limited in island sanctuary save for outdoor furnishings), but sometimes I wish I would have grass plots in some areas while others have the default paths. Maybe I want to use some plant outdoor furnishings in some areas, but it looks off being placed on concrete. If I swap to grass, the whole sanctuary now has to use grass just to accommodate one aesthetic choice. The same goes for ramps/stairs.

TBH I don't care all that much about Island Sanctuary, but this always seemed like a missed opportunity for customization that prevents me from wanting to even bother decorating.

well the another life-style content is mostly likely island sanctuary 2.0 and they will just prolly have us get a new island in the new world and start it over.

The option to hollow out the mountain to create your own secret hidden lair...

Because someone has to place the world in danger... it might as well be me... >.>
