I love Island Sanctuary! Except...

First of all, thank you !!! I love the new Island Sanctuary content!!!
My heart went fuzzy and I am so excited when I unlocked more areas!!!
I cannot express my gratitude enough for the very nice content given!!
Also, I am very excited to furnish my island! Thank you for allowing us!
The many veggie mounts, minions and barding are so cute too....!!

While I love everything so far involving Island Sanctuary...
I have unfortunately 2 complaints..>"<
It is not too big of complaint but I am just not sure .... how I feel about it!

The patches come with new animals GET....
But the slot of animals is limited to 20..... I must release my sweet Billy for Spriggan...
Is it possible if I ask to allow bigger animals slots? Or did I miss this in the PLL/notes?


The second one however definitely is not something missed but something observed...
My question is........ Why is Felicitous Furball such an... Infuriating Furball?
She is so rude........ I am so happy to be in the island but the Mammets are not kind..
I felt a little sad about it..^^; As silly as it sounds! I am sorry.

They need to throw those mammets in a completely separate area from our 'home' spot. THIS IS MY TIME TO RELAX.

It'd be kinda cool if they put them in their own tiny village somewhere else we can visit.

It would be nice to have more animal slots if we don't. A large amount of people doing this just want to get all the rare animals just, because. :D

I don't want to let go of any of my beasties either. Need to see what sort of new mats the new animals provide and if it's a must to do so. But I thought for sure that with 20 uncommon creatures in the sanctuary before 6.4 that they would have been bumping the pasture size to 25. Maybe in 6.45 they will deliver.

I feel like the name is intended to be ironic. Or it's the localization team playing with the NA player base considering our posted feelings about the mammets when IS was first released.

I'd be very happy if I could sequester them all in the Bathhouse, where they could rust to their heart's content.

The deco is just amazing. Going to bet they announce the same for a house in one of the Fanfests. I have way too many islands I find them quite relaxing and fun.

I still want roe leather daddies and/or cat girls to replace mammets. Hell, I'll take potatoes at this point.

You are correct, I think personally it is localization problem because the Japanese version is a very adorable mammet everyone loves... ><
She is less ... how to put it... let's just stay with the word infuriating...

i hate island sanctuary i wish they would stop locking content behind it

I am unsure what you mean...?
The whole idea of Island Sanctuary and basically any content really is to 'do something to get something' in your free time.
I would've hated it if Island Sanctuary was an already established Island you harvest/grow veggies and get animal at your whim like it's a free given paradise with no effort. Granted Warrior of Light through the story DOES deserve that much but that'd be REALLY boring.

I notice also how there is many complaints about 'things locked behind content' but we pay to play the game........
If not, I'd go to Second Life or play Sims ^^; But that is my opinion. Of course you are entitled to yours!
Unless I miss something specific. I think the way they paced the Island Sanctuary makes perfect sense, feels rewarding
and I am always excited to rank up! There is always something new!
I did feel a bit odd when I could exchanbge.... 4 mounts 1 barding and 1 minion upon patch release... this feels like "free rewards".
(But, I had 300,000 blue scripts.... that is why to me it is not locked behind content since I been doing the content since release...)
I do hope you will find joy in Island Sanctuary eventually. I enjoy doing it while watching youtube/relax/chat with friends on Discord ^^

I haven't had a reason to grab the critters added after the initial island release. Looking for different combinations of leavings that we don't have yet, and monsters that I'm more interested in in the first place. I hear there's a funguar, though? Anyone know if it's one of the fuglyshroom things from the Shroud, or a frogshroom like in XI? The XI version I would probably choose something to drop for.

It's going to be fun decorating the island now that we can add furnishing items, although since I've never had a house and have been effectively locked out of outdoor furnishing until now I don't have any idea what kind of items exist or even what to look for. Still, it seems like a great feature and will give me stuff to do there besides watering plants and feeding (very hangry) animals.

OMG, have you leveled Goldsmith? Those quests feature a mammet that is just a nasty little shit. :p

Might work better for an aside idea I had for further locations, but moogles would be really cute alternative options. The aside idea though was once we unlock a harbor we could go to new locations which would provide new land opportunities, including to have an outpost. Expedition to Sea of Clouds, Azim Steppe, Lost Thanalan Dune, Park District of Amaurot, etc. Those new lands wouldn't have mammets unless you set mammets to go there :p.

Mammot glamours would be wonderful.

i was expecting more pasture and crop space but this has been kind of underwhelming. "let's add more animals to collect...but not increase the storage! genius!"

Ahhh, thank you for bringing back memories. I loved GiGi so much!!! Boy couldn't help it! He was malfunctioning! hahaha

Right now my focus is maxing out my rank so I currently don't have issues with the pasture and croplands. However, pasture duties have already become tedious and it's difficult to think about the size being bigger and holding more animals. I don't want to pay the mammets to do it because I need the currency and the exp. My pasture is already set up where I have two of most regular animals, and a minion that serves as their offspring. Really cute. I hate thinking about having to let any of them go should I happen to run into a rare animal. I'm not sure what benefit a rare animal brings, so other than Spriggan, it's not something I am seeking to have.

My only gripe right now is we can't decorate the pathways, and only the areas surrounding the building structures. I'm not sure why this is, but that was a bummer as I had all these plans about how I wanted to do it.

I thought we were supposed to get the new island with 6.4? I don't see anyone talking about it. Unless it got delayed again.

I'm still working on the MSQ for 6.4, have they changed the economy? Seeing how there isn't increased animal storage, I was thinking of just keeping what I have for now.

From a completion standpoint, theres really no reason to go after new animals if you've already got a good coverage of all the materials.

If you rank up to 13, you will get 2nd floor and your bed moved above. No more mammet creeps you out while you're asleep :)

(And your old bed placement changed into feet bath and they still creep you out)

+1 to increasing the animal limit! I hate having to give up an animal every time a new one comes out that I like. Ideally I’d like enough room for one of each, regular and “shiny” version. But at least one of each kind!

But overall, I’m loving the new building upgrades. :D I’m only rank 13 so far but the new cabin is awesome and so are the new granaries! I’d still like to be able to dye the bed and curtains though, but at least the orange doesn’t seem as bright as the previous cabin. lol

Back when I was ranking up I was like that, "how to keep up?! Paying for them?! Aaah!" but then I realized the drop rate really doesn't change whether you feed the animals or not so I starve them and have them as outdoors glam! so don't worry about taking care of them. Personally I do pay all 20 for caretaker but that's because I earn more blue scripts a day than I spend on crop/tending animals ^^; if you do workshop you won't even notice paying them for your laziness! Trust me! the rarity of animal is just a gimmick of "Look what I caught" just like when you do a raid with a rare mount drop you like to show off people. Same with ultima bastards who show off their weapons in Limsa (Damn you all! Speaking out of jealousy obviously) but that is the concept of rare animal as far as I know since there is no 'specialty' ^^
I just enjoy the RNG and "Can I capture you!" and the elation after it, then they become forgotten wastes in my pasture XD

Square Enix, bump the pasture size to 25!!!!!!!

I want to have my main base on the beach itself.. why have a Island if your going to have your base so far inland.. i want a beach home..

Honestly I am at least happy that the upgraded house has a bed where we can sleep without any of them looking at us the whole time. But yeah would love if we could decide to hide them away...at least in the main zone.

Other than that I also quite happy with the island. Looking forward to crafting all the house items that I need. And I was also happy to have more minions out.

Now if they let us gather more than one of the items at a time would be great.

- I wish they would increase the number of items you can place. I don't understand the thought process of only 90 for the entirety of the island. Even with being restricted to just the areas around the buildings, Its just not enough. I've used the majority of the allowance on the hideaway center.

- Please, for the love of Hydaelyn, Remove the restrictions on how many of specific furnishings you can place. I don't understand why we can only place a max of ten "flowers" (Grass Tufts, Lupid plots, Sunflower plots, morning glory plots....), and only one Leviathan fountain (only one that is restricted from what I can tell). It has been really hard to figure out a layout with decorating being so restricted.

- Please let us glamour the mammets and/or let us move the interactable ones.

- Please SE, I wanna dye my buildings and maybe certain things inside the cabin. I'm not a fan of the yellow/orange (':

Even just a little seating area/fire pit on the beach would be incredible.

Yes！

I want more animal in my island。

I have 5 animal of every animal I enjoy。 Many players only 1 animal of every animal。。。 the animal is lonely。。。

If you have 5 animal of every animal， you see them together like they are talking ：） so they not lonely

（idea： some rare color animal also play with normal color animal like black lamb and normal lamb ：） ）


if there are second zoo or third zoo at island， maybe more players will have more same animals together so that they not lonely anymore ：）

My personal fan theory is that the personalities of the mammets were influenced by the other Sharlayans their inventor had contact with. That bot who is super insecure and feels like their work would be seen unworthy if WoL releases other minions on the island is probably the inventor themself. The construction person was someone who was really obsessed with architecture and considered a weirdo by the other people in the Studium because they were less into studying the subject and more into crafting things. (Maybe even an omnicrafter?) And then there probably was this superior, a Sharlayan professor who always made fun of the inventor and complained about them "wasting resources and time on programming personalities into walking multitools" and after they said "give them a morbol's personality for all I care, it doesn't matter", the inventor made a decision: They programmed the mammet's supervising mammet with a mirror of that arsehole's personality and a bit more hubris and entitlement on top of that. As a revenge, so that professor would have to endure the very same behaviour until his dying breath when he's stuck on a moon airship thing floating through space. And thus Felicitous Furball was born.

But then we saved the day, the program was scraped and when QA checked the mammets for repurposing them for the island project, they only tested functionality, because as we know from Archon Loaf's existence, efficiency is all that counts for many Sharlayans. Oh well. (Or the inventor was salty they'd never get revenge now and wanted to be just a little bit mean to WoL, but not directly because we still kind of saved their life, and the mammets, and also we could still kill them if we wanted to.)

I have no proof for any of this though, but I like it. :D

Honestly that is my number 1 gripe with it.

It could easily have been a “recruit people and build” in the vein of old school RPGs, where you can pick and choose your villagers. Nothing too fancy, but we do know a lot of people from previous plot lines that might want a place to live.

If nothing else, generic refugees from Doma/Garlamald/Ala Mhigo that might not want to go back home.

The concept as I understood it in game was to pilot island development to see if it is a feasible thing to do for refugees. If we are just gonna use mammets it doesn’t really prove or showcase this original directive at all.

Also, we never really made an island resort/sanctuary. This is more akin to a resource extraction/industrial complex we have going on.

I think it's cyberpunkish in style and looks
