Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

We shouldn't have to use one of our housing slots for an aetheryte. Especially when every slot for outdoor furniture is so incredibly precious. Please just make teleportation a free feature of owning a house. I'd still gladly pay to have it... Just don't make me put it on my property.

That minion would then be summoned in your house and treat the "pet bed" like the player-- wandering around it, doing it's animations. Just a fun way to do more with a minion, I think

A minion play pen for your yard would also be a lot of fun

WINDOWS.
ON.
PARTITIONS.

(also paintings above the fireplace mantle, etc. Basically fix item placement so we don't have to glitch items to place them in places we should rightfully be able to place them)

Oh, also interactable exercise equipment, yoga mats, and indoor targeting dummies so I can make a gym in my house or apartment.

Z axis for all furniture
allow all furniture in lofts
Dieable all existing floors and walls textures
Floors and walls that exist already in NPC houses or dungeons/trials available to PC.
Indoor small fountains made of stone
Bathtub with rose petals and small candles
Statues for indoor decor you have plenty of statues models inside the dungeons I can take some screenshots as example if it helps.

I'd like if the orchestrion UI was rebuilt from the ground up, ideally by someone who has used basically any software that plays music. It's really clunky, not as intuitive as it could be, and doesn't make an efficient use of space. People who have been playing the game longer than I still make mistakes like thinking a song selected would play, but they close it and it stops. Of course as a venue owner and all that I can get what I want out of it easily, but that doesn't mean it's okay, just because you know it's strange quirks or what hoops to jump through.

In addition to cleaner, more efficient, more logical UI, I'd also like if we could have longer playlists, and a way to save multiple playlists client side. I'd like to be able to save different playlists and swap them out for different events, without having to reassemble them each time.

Has SE ever been known to take ideas from this thread?

Either way, I'd like a QoL Outdoor Furnishing item that gives you a 3 second buff when you activate it. Once the buff wears off, it'd refresh all your Weapon-skills, Spells, and Abilities. The purpose of this Furnishing item is obviously to practice certain parts of a rotation or opener without needing to wait if you ever mess up. I usually spend an awkward 30 - 120 seconds just looking at my Training Dummy waiting for my skills to reset so I can practice weaving certain abilities between Weapon-skills or Spells.

I feel this Furnishing item will eliminate those awkward moments and be an improvement for players who feel like trying to better themselves. It'd probably be in the form of an Eorzean energy drink or maybe even a plain old bottle of water? It would be helpful if we could add this interactable item near Training Dummies in combat zones as well, such as Middle La Noscea's Summer Ford Farms. It'd be right next to Training Dummies while being far enough away from enemy mobs to avoid abusing the buff somehow. Even though those mobs are like level 1 and no one really needs to abuse a buff to beat them.

Yoshida man, you made a pizza oven with a pizza on it but where are the tabletop pizzas?! That I can keep inside my house, where I have tables and chairs?!

I need my pizzas, whole or in pieces. Please. I can't keep them just outside, it's gonna rain

Dyeable Brick

A standee where we can place certain mounts would be nice. It'd really like to be able to put my chocobo in my room.

What I would like added:
- A Tankard tabletop item (with ale in it animation)
- Those tiny shot Tankards in front of Girutt’s shop in Lakeland
- The casks id Ale begins Girutt
- A Bartender NPC, or NPC who strickly sells drinks and snacks
- This one kinda goes with gold saucer as well as housing, but a Darts game. Could be like the arcade games in gold saucer with a strength meter, as well as a circular spin circle to throw the dart to certain areas of the dart board

Yes I’m turning the basement of my house into a minibar, with bar, tables, and games (the gold saucer games and triple triad)

One thing I would really like is to have housing food that was comparable to current food for that patch. I.e. ovim meatballs buffs on a placeable food item--one that was essentially 10x ovim meatballs recipe ingredients to craft. Not cheaper, but a housing food that was actually WORTH eating. Most housing food is prettymuch worthless. Cute. Neat for RP. But prettymuch worthless.

For the 4/6/8 garden plots, I'd like the option to tend/fertilize all the crops at once.

Buying a house should be an auction, the highes bidder gets the plot, instead of stupid clicking the sign for hours.

I like your ideas because I'm turning mine on a dwarven colony!

While we're on it, I want all the furniture on Tomra.

A fully blank wall for wallpaper, with no ceiling or floor molding. The Blank (City State) Partitions are a pain to work with when you want the wallpaper but can't stand the molding that comes with the partition.

Individually adjustable Interior Lighting (for the ceiling lamp basically), so that you can make a nice, cozy basement den with only glowing objects and wall lamps, while having a nice, formal entrance area in an FC building, for example. Alternately, an 'empty' ceiling lamp item that removes that light source.

In addition to this I would love dyeable wallpaper. It's sometimes so difficult to find a wallpaper that works for what you want because even if the colour is right the pattern may not be.

Now, I have never owned a house in FF14. still want one, but I can never afford one let alone Get one.

Things I suggest for houses, a second floor for small houses. I have heard they are basically the same size as an apartment, but since they are a house and not an apartment with a 40 days of no login you lose the house "that's still there I assume."

-Dye-able wallpaper and flooring, seems like a good idea.
-Maybe for medium houses or larger a area for a mount? I generally use my motocycle because I love it, so why not have a addition area where a mount can be placed or "living" if said mount is not a machine that is "alive". I would make a small area with like tools and machinery of sorts that look as though they could be used to "maintain" said motorcycle.

Tools and such for indoor furnishings, like tool racks, tables, work benches and such. its all just for looks anyway does not need to actually have a use.

-How about more "exotic" furnishings, like Garlean styled and more allagan style. ?
also why not have like, weapon racks? mountain racks? that you can mount on the walls to display weapons? not mannequins tho. and that Do Not take up a spot of retainer space.
-I think if we "own" a house we should also be able to change things in or out, like the front door. and windows inside and out. even if its just a "skin" of a different door and same for the windows as you cannot see through them anyway.

How about a adding a smaller shed or "smaller building" to the land around it that has a room as well, the size of the building can be changed for the plot type and can function as extra space with basically the same size as a or half the size of an apartment which you could also decorate to your liking.

This smaller space /room/ could simply be an additional smaller space within that houses "instance" I don't know how these are setup I'm just putting ideas out there.

I would love to see a fully customizable house where I can make the following changes:

1) Move the location of the stair, make it wider or separate it into 2 stairs.
1) Allow you to add & move doors inside so you can for example make shortcuts to allied FC houses or simply fill up a room with NPC sellers dedicated to FC demand (mini market).
3) Allow you to enter balcony from first floor and add a ladder to get to the roof.
4) Allow you to make the balcony wider, place it lower or higher or move it around the building (diff side) "or" delete it entirely (also removing the door).
5) Allow you to place furniture on the balcony.
6) Allow you to use interior floors on the exterior.
7) allow you to change the material of the stair, including the carpet (& texture) on them.
8) Allow you to store & upload designs based on their location so others can see your builds online and fast apply it to their own house.
9) Allow you to demolish the basement in exchange for more space on the main and 1st story.
10) Allow you to choose the location of ceiling chandeliers and add more or remove all entirely.
11) Allow you to dye wall & floor textures including doors & windows.

Crafting stations that store crafting mats and draw from both the stations storage and your inventory. For example, using said station to make a kitchen for culinarians that stores and automatically consumes stored ingredients for recipes..

Really anything that reduces the need for inventory management would be nice.

side note to the dev's, a bank in each city that lets you access all of your retainer inventories at once would be nice too because all this inventory management nonsense is just unnecessary. Having to constantly swap retainers to manage your storage does not in any way enrich the experience.

what about an instanced area like apartments for a balcony where you can display outdoor furnishings? Maybe you could add it so u can see a few other balconies or it's just a private space in the apartment buildings so everyone has a place to actually put their outdoor stuff?

Would like to have a housing glamour plate so I could instantly switch between designs (like holiday themes)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE the only thing I want is a function to lock furnishings.

Vertical placement would be great for more creative freedom, using a glitch to move objects up in the air is really impractical.

1 - The option to have no chandelier.
2 - Blank Rectangular Partition. This will allow you to "give" it the appearance of any of the interior wall designs.
3 - Blank Partition Door/Arch. See above.
4 - Ability to move staircase.
5 - The option to change the baseboards/ceiling of the interior.
6 - Windows on partitions without having to do "the thing." We all know "the thing."
7 - A z-axis. It could be an option on the tool bar along with rotation, store, and pick-up. Basically, you place the item, then you select z-axis to move it up/down.

pretty sure the devs are working on weapon racks of some sort or at least I recall something in the live letter about weapon racks or something of the nature.

I'm sure this has been asked to death, but with the apparent improvements to servers coming, is there any plan in place to increase the item limit? 20 items for a small plot is NOT enough, in my opinion. Either you're stuck with a sort of bland looking yard, or a really cool spot and mostly empty everywhere else.

Also, I fully support the decision of one house per account. But will there ever be a way to change ownership across your alt characters, or at least give them teleportation and editing access?

Yes, i bought two mannequins only to find out it takes up marketplace Slots, thats so stupid, even if you only use them for display.

There's a trick to this. Dress up the mannequin. Go to the retainer it's associated with and remove the gear from the retainer itself, and your mannequin will keep the gear equipped without it taking any slots up.

You can do the same thing with glamor chest and glam plates. You can restore all the items in a glam plate but still apply it as though you still have the items stored.


On another note: I'm DESPERATE for weapon rack furniture. Please, Square Enix.

Mannequins were originally intended for the market function. They made the adjustment afterwards when players complained that they wanted the mannequins just to display gear they owned.

Please SE I need a basic pillar that matches the white rectangular partition.

More Item Space especially for the larger plots.

For Mansion, I would say that 400 placeable slots simply is not enough... 6-700 would suffice.

Medium and small could use an upgrade as well in that department, maybe 50 more spots in small and 100 more in medium?

At the very least, I want apartments to have the same item limit as small houses.

Pretty much yes!
50% more on all sizes would be a good start
small = 300
medium 450
large = 600

also increase the storage space, 200 is just not enough.

How about some wall-mounted large sized replicas of the Guildleve art? The stained glass depicting various saints seems like a good fit for new false windows, and could complement the Guildleve Counter table well!

So much yes! I've adored these stained glass windows in Gridania for years! Ever since 1.0 :D The trailer/intro for 1.0 was so beautiful too, and I love looking up at them! It'd be so pretty to see them similar to the blue ones we have now, but glow/shine the colours of this artwork!

Something else I've been thinking as I've been using the marble alcove bed (which is great, by the way!):

Throw
Folded blanket/crumpled blanket

Something like that would be nice to be able to place on a bed or chair. Especially since this bed doesn't really seem to have blankets at all.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EiysuKeU...jpg&name=large
