Small House 20 item limit for Outdoors?!?!?

I agree with you completely, but I'm surprised at your reaction to the negative comments... Haven't you ever done a DF?
Troll is a playable class in FFXIV.

Of course 20 is way too low. The only people who think it isn't are people who don't give a damn about decorating their houses. I use half that max just setting up a walk way, my mailbox, and my fence. It leaves no room to even put a tree up if you've got a stable and a seasonal item you can forget about adding a planter or any small stuff that would beautify the plot.

I doubt anyone can even decorate for xmas with this limit.

It's not even really 20 slots after putting in the basics. One stable, one garden, one aethryte, minimum of 2 lamps (cause it's freaking dark in housing zones). That gives you 15 items for aesthetics. That's barren. We had to cut back on even the landscaping to stay under the cap. With a snowman, tree, and presents we're down to 12 slots.

You may like having a boring yard but I don't. Having item space for tables and chairs alone would be nice.

I know... I'm new. Turned 50 maybe a month ago. I was told there are some SE fanboys in this game that will defend all Dev decisions tooth and nail but I thought this change was a no-brainer.

I'm shocked that people who are at the cap and have had to gimp themselves to stay under it would argue that the cap is a good thing. And the argument I heard the most is that they don't want their neighbor's yard to look like cluttered. Like I joined FFXIV to be in a Home Owner's Association or something. To each their own and stop worrying about your neighbors. I'm sure they can make their yard look like crap with the 20 item spaces they have.

I'm fairly certain the cap was implemented when there were far less items available and to encourage people to buy larger houses. It is time to revisit the item limits and give us some creative freedom.

12 slots are plenty, for some Latices, benches and 1 table, most of the small house use around 3-4 step stones to go from entrance to the front door. If you skip the mini aetheryte (I don't use it myself), you can put one more item, the mini aetheryte is not really need item, good to have but good to skip as well

We ended up going with the mini-atheryte because it essentially gives you two free gates. I can set my home aethryte to a different city (Ul'dah) and port back to Mist (for Lominsa) incredibly cheap. I'm sure it saves me at least a thousand gil a night when I'm constantly running out to level alt classes, gathering leves, etc... At home I'm either crafting or waiting for FL queues. I think it's worth the item slot.

I'm in favor of this. I want lots of freedom if new seasonal decorations are out. Also, furniture combinations make this a bit of a no-brainer - why hinder player creativity? Even just an increase to 25 would alleviate some of that pressure on the small house yards.

Except that large houses need an increase in the item limit far more than smalls do.

the mini aetheryte is not really free, it still cost you but cost you less. With security token (I dont know if you use) you can have 1 free port (truely free), another free port is return, and you can set 3 favourite port, so what I did is use the security token free port at the city where I have my house (LL), return in grid, favour 1. mor dhona, 2 coerthas, 3 in uldah. The reasons I don't use the mini aetheryte is because it is not really a free port (it work like a favourite point) and it is a hard to place piece, back when I had my small house I have trouble to place it to a place to make it look good,and now I have the medium, I prefer not to have it at all

Seriously? My FC and personal house look good at 20, but I certainly wouldn't say no to 10 more item slots. 12 sounds pretty sparse.

Especially inside. I've seen a few that are pretty threadbare. The small's interior number seems pretty good to me.

no, I mean 12 item slots left are plenty not 12 more slots, if you read from page 1, I believe I keep say 20 item limits are enough.
