Larger Apartments?

When are we going to see a medium and large apartment? I remember it being discussed and that it was something you might be working on.

IMO all apartments should be bigger Perhaps the same size as the first floor of a large?

Mansion sized apartments? Where do I send my gil for such a penthouse?

Honestly the best QoL update that Square could do to fix the housing problem for all time would be to do the following:

*Update the current apartment floor plan to be the same size but have two floors instead of the one.
*Add a "weaker" version of the workshop to either be an apartment add on or integrate it into our Grand Company. You would be able to build an run at least one airship and one submarine (I would argue two would be fairer). You however would not have recipes to build walls/wheels in your workshop. Although we'd be better of with it assigned to the grand company.

These two changes alone would probably quell most of the belly aching because the only things folk would truly be missing out than would be an outdoor space.

Bigger is Better

Apartments should at least be twice the size of a normal FC room, I mean it's not like there is a shortage of them on most servers so merging a couple shouldn't be an issue. At least it gives us more room to decorate.

No one will buy small house if there is medium/large apartment IMHO. Give option to add 2nd floor for apartment is more reasonable

Except there's always a scramble to buy up all the houses, and making apartments more appealing by being bigger would lessen some of the strain on the housing shortage.

Not true. Plenty of people enjoy having a "house" and want to play with their yard. Especially as someone's much more likely to wander in and check it out as they're walking by versus going to the building and sorting through the 100+ apartments there that have no indication as to whether they're even furnished. And that's a big draw for a lot of folks.

Yep. The people who just want a little space to decorate indoors and call their own and have access to the conveniences of a house (like vendors, bell, etc all in one place) will be happy to purchase an apartment, but those who are more dedicated to decorating and the housing system as a whole will still probably prefer houses. Heck, for a lot of avid decorators, a small is preferable to a large or even a medium because you have a better item limit density so you can do more cool things. (That's exactly why I'm not upgrading from my med!)
