Will Shadowbringers double the slots...?

Item slots in housing were doubled for Stormblood, so it's not unheard of. I'm still hopeful Shadowbringers will finally make it possible to decorate the other half of my large FC house.

I highly doubt it. There's no word either way from what I'm aware, but my understanding of the doubling was that it was a "huge overhaul needed" and that if they do give us more, it'll be in smaller amounts.

Doubt that. The only housing that really needs double, IMO, is the mansions. You can easily make medium houses look lived in even with just 300 (though I wouldn't say no to more), but considering larges are like 2.5x the size of a medium, an extra 100 slots isn't enough.

Agreed. If I had to ask for the bare minimum, I feel like mediums need 50 and larges 100. I could easily do with 100/200, but I feel like that's enough to stop it from feeling like you have to wall off half your home (in the case of a large) or just do without those last little touches (for a medium). Smalls are perfect.

Yeah, it's those last little touches that kill me on my house. I'm always having to pull stuff from other places to make any changes or fill something out completely. And the mansions absolutely need some love.

I ran out of items before finishing my small, not by much, only need another 10 or so to properly put the finishing touches to it, but still I wouldn't say smalls (or apartments for that matter) are perfect. .

I feel like it all depends on how much you're using item sets as other items (like crafting modern kitchens, etc.) I've definitely seen smalls that were just way, way too crowded and cluttered... but I know when we had our small we definitely could have added a couple of extra items, so I can absolutely see this. I just never felt as if our small was "sterile" without those few items, whereas our medium feels like a showroom without any personality.

Things like this are why I say all housing spaces should get double their item slots. While people can decorate an apartment/fc room, or a small, with the item slots given, there are just so designs that call for more than that, and it leads to people banging their head on the item limit ceiling. It also doesn't help that so many item slots go into things like walling off the damn windows and wall mounted pillars. I feel like if we could just remove those, there would be a lot less hassle.

I'm also of the opinion that it's always better to have more slots than you know what to do with, than to not have enough, and have to endlessly pick and choose what you want to put in, what you want to take out, and what detail is being sacrificed for a design. With how often they add new items, it would be nice to just be able to throw the new stuff down into a house with out having to spend half an hour debating what needs to be taken out for the new item to go down.

I don't think you need 800 slots for a mansion. If I had just 500 I would probably be fine, 600 would let me do the special projects. But I don't think I would ever make use of 800.

I remember I used the brick wall decoration to make my kitchen, took dozens of the items. Then I wanted to make a deck around the oriental tub in my basement, but I didn't have enough items left to place all the items to make it and the stairs. So I had to choose one. If I had even 100 more slots I could have done both.

I could easily use 800 items for a mansion. There is so much that I just can't have in the house with 400 slots. I could probably use 800 and still want more honestly.
