Remove the need for mini aetheryte and chocobo stable housing item limit

Simple re-request. The teleport to the house is a mandatory function. It should not require an item taking up one of precious few slots just to have access to it. Same with the chocobo stable. Both of which are features of apartments by default. If possible neither should count towards the outdoor item limit, or the Mini Aetheryte at least should just become a normal optional item.

The aetheryte I agree with, just make it automatic without the need for a in-world lore-only item;

But as long as polygons are a problem due to PS4's and people possessing potatoes as PCs... The stable is far from mandatory. People who decide they need a stable, can make do without a similar number of polygons by losing an item while they have a stable out.

The mailbox also shouldn't take up a precious slot.

Then you'd have the possibility people filling their plot with dozens of mailboxes just because they could. There's always someone....

At least you can't have more than one mini-aetheryte crystal, AFAIK.

Better to leave things as furnishings when possible for those who use them as part of the yard decoration instead of using them strictly for function.

I use the Delivery Moogle available in the lobby of every apartment building when I need one. It's just a quick trip using the ward Aethernet from my house then I can teleport directly back.

Can't have more than one letter box per estate, either.

Even if it was possible, what's the harm if that's how someone wants to decorate their yard? I'd actually love to be able to place more than one Miniature Aetheryte because I use mine for the lighting effects. Most of the outdoor lighting objects just offer generic light and we could use a few more with other colors/special effects.

It's a valid point, but the noise puts me off so much. Which is why mine end up hidden, shoved behind the house, well out of earshot.

I had to log in to figure out what noise you're referring to. I have the BGM playing so the noise it makes gets hidden in that. Even with everything except Ambient off and Ambient turned up to 100% it was barely noticeable to me.

But I can understand the noise being a nuisance for some players. At least it's not the Namazu Effigy *cringes*.

Unless I'm missing something from the screenshots of the apartment building exteriors, there are no a aetherytes. I hesitate to suggest this out of fear of another SNAFU, but why not make houses have the same function?

I can understand chocobo stables and mail boxes remaining individual items as some people may not want them.

There are aetheryte shards outside all apartment buildings. Even though they're there, I don't think they ought to be counted as an item in housing. It should just come with the plot or otherwise a place you can just TP to.

Oh did they change that? At one point I had the regular Moogle box and the one with the crown on either side of my front door, but after I started collecting more stuff, one of them got sacrificed for an extra furnishing slot! lol

I do wish they’d make a smaller chocobo stable, like a single, for just one bird. I’m a Lala, so my bird doesn’t need that much room! lol I always think the current one looks awkward no matter where I put it.
