Why do we need S houses?

I would like to suggest that the guild residential area should be set up with only L, M, and houses. It is a situation where there are many people in the guild. Why do you need a poor and broken S hut?

I think they should use an upgrade system. Buy a small for x gil. Upgrade to medium for xx gil. Upgrade to large for xxx gil.

I am able to carry 100+ pieces of armor in the lining of my underwear. Pocket dimension houses are perfectly believable in this setting.

same reason we have small houses in real life, because not everyone can afford to buy a mansion

But you cannot carry 1000 rings... Pocket dimensions don't appear to follow actual logic...

Upgrade system wouldnt work with the housing wards because the footprint space on the map is set. Making it larger would require altering the landscape. If anything IMO could have a size expansion system currently it would be apartments and FC rooms (which given the doorway and such I feel like they made those and the company workshop by digging below the basement of the house lol)

Because many do not want a large or medium for their fc, we are happy with a small. We would be happy with a group customizable apartment that you could get advanced company actions and workshop features too and everyone who wants a personal house could have them. Though now that my friend is standing by the house she would have won out of protest and able to converse with other people in shout chat I can honestly see the appeal of the housing. It was different in swtor because each house you could talk to the whole planet from your instance house so if they ever had instance housing I would want this to be a feature at the very least. It actually made me feel like we were in an mmo again instead of solo game. If I want to feel at peace and utterly alone I would go play dark souls when it strikes this mood. I like this atmosphere it creates.

But couldn't the house just follow the current dimension size of the landscape it was original built in? Just making the house...taller with extra floors? :O

I like small houses :(
Honestly, earnestly, genuinely.

I could be wrong but I think she is talking about the internal space of the house, which is instanced.

its easier on design because when they originally said they were making FC only wards they said that they would basically adjust it based off of demand over time. converting ward to private or vice versa. so keeping them designed the same in theory all they would have to do is flip a tag to make an FC ward available to private owners would be my guess

small houses are cute

hear hear!

I for one like small plots. It's easier to create more of a home/warm feeling, personally. I'd rather they kept smalls!

They dropped the ball on this one since the beginning.
Making all plots large gives player choice, you can have a small house with a big garden, or a large house with smaller garden and so on.
It would also kill the immediate need to relocate for a bigger plot and give players a long term objective but alas this ship has sailed into the sunset to never be seen again.

One quick look at the Wards from the Aetheryte in foundation should make it clear to the devs that 18 wards for FC only was overkill. On Jenova, at least, the FC wards are barren except for almost all of the Large plots and the odd Medium plot here and there. Meanwhile the 6 private wards are full. They're going to have to open up some of those FC only wards to private owners a lot sooner than later.

yea, just took a look on odin and there are even a lot of l plots still open. and yes, there was the "0" bug, but the amount of L plots open is way to big to just have happened by accident if demand was really high enough to warrant this amount of wards. lets not even speak about the fact that nearly no s houses at all have been bought. sorry but if square thought that every single guild on the server needs the chance to get an L house they should have designed 2 special wards with all l/m houses houses and kept the rest of the wards to the general playerbase...

On Phoenix, I just took a turn in the 1st FC ward and about 70% of the still empty plots was the ones which were hit by the 0 bug unfortunately, , just 2 or 3 plots weren’t claimed yet so I guess it’s hard right now to judge if the amount of FC houses is to big.
But seeing how fast the personal wards were filled, and seeing the players feedback on other worlds, I guess they should reconsider parts of the split.

I quite like my small house thank you. It's the best looking plot in my ward too.
Small houses are much better than a Medium or Large square eyesore

Bc you can't ignore a giant ugly shirogane house or paissa house

Except potentially(we can dream at least) with Island Sanctuary. If they give us the ability to have any size house on it, that would be great to giving people a personal house who want it. Would still have been better to have your idea of all being "large" plots, with upgradeable houses for differing sizes of garden space.

Yes, but Island Sanctuary is... Well, that's the problem, we don't have enough info about it, unfortunately.
I've already lowered my expectations to 0 as my heart tells me that those "delays" and lack of info are fruit of the disparity of community expectations and the current state of whatever Island Sanctuary is.

More times than not, all this secrecy is just detrimental, as the dev team seems unwilling to turn ship around after a project launched in game.

It still boggles my mind, that a company like Square Enix fumbled Lord of Verminions that hard, they made World of Final Fantasy, they've made a myriad of turn based RPGs, hell just copy Pokemon....but alas, here we are.
