How much "big" will be ARR Housing?

After i saw this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iszkazbhi-c

I was wandering how many thing we will be able to do with housing.
It has been said that we will be able to make house from the ground, selecting the roof, we can have a personal stable..

But after seeing that trailer my question is: ARR will reach that level of customization?
In the trailer you can see piace by piece creation of a lot of stuffs, like a pool, or even a child park lol..

That are the kind of teaser that i want for ARR... showing new amazing stuffs, short and hyping at the same time... Really i didn't expect from rift being such a good game among the Wow clones.

So what do you think?

probably not

From what it seems from the concepts, it'll be pretty big. And it can evolve in the future (you could build ships and airships like yoshi-p hinted time ago).

ships and airship too? i missed that i think, strange :P

In the live letter they showed some pictures about the housing areas. In one of these pictures there was a simple house as a placeholder to show the size of the house.

In a major update/expansion pack, definitely not on ARR release though.

Though I highly doubt we can make our own little cities and docks (would be cool), we will likely (as yoshida has said) get major updates and expansion packs just for housing.

That would be amazing if it was at that level! But I wont raise my hopes. Hell, that ALMOST makes me want to pick up Rift again XD

i wish it was more of a neighborhood type setup.... maybe grand company/private company/LS related

I'd prefer fewer customizable things if the houses weren't instanced in return :<

It is. You can be in a neighborhood with your Free Company.

i think the initial system will be pretty basic. After that it will depend on popularity how much dev time will be invested into housing system.

That video is so nice!! It is only a minute long but shows so much :) I wish we could get videos like this about arr ; ;

I also wanna know the prices of the houses. Can we share a house with people we marry?

That's what i really want do. A short video like that is more hyping than the crappy trailer we got for TGS... Imho.

I'm starving for information. This dry spell of hush hush SE info is killing me.

Housing is one of my most wanted area's of expanded information.

Same. I'm absolutely positively excited to build houses in a neighborhood with friends.

I'm looking forward to the housing system very much. I have a blast with FFXI's Mog Houses already (and even placed in the recent Mog House Decorating Contest!)

My linkshell is already talking about how we want to get the best stuff available for our estate... and I know we'll be crafting our faces off furnishing it!

Yoshi-p said it going to be somewhat big only 20ish homes can fit per instance zones. He also said they be a small,med,large and most players would get med due to how much it cost at first they wont be much to do but they keep adding with updates. I like the idea i can grow stuff outside my house and have a chocobo area in the back. So if you think about that it going to be pretty big but they wont be much to do with it too they release more in update. I don't see it being as big as that video but you never know.

we havent seen anything yet, but SE will have to step it up

wonder if getting a house will cost crazy amounts of gil.

If its anything close to player towns from White Knight Chronicles, it would be cool lol. I thought it was a nice little feature to recruit npc's to manage your chores.

If you own a mansion maybe they can water our plants, feed the chocobos, do your gardening? lol

They also mentioned something of massive houses that cost "a lot" like over 9,000 a lot.

Anyway its a pretty big feature to add, so while I dont expect the first rendition to be very ground breaking I hope its not something they skimp on.

After seeing other mmo's and the customization abilities that they have available for their players' housing, Such as Wildstar, I hope SE doesn't drop the ball on it. I loved my moghouse in XI, but looking back, although good for it's time, it's rather limiting now. At least they say there's a lot more customization....aww hell I dunno. I'm excited to see what happens...just trying so hard not to raise my hopes too high.

The house that can cost that much could be Free company building i remember yoshi-p calling it that. Where there a hall with doors and when you enter door it would go to your house. They also be a area for your free company airship so i'm guess this type of thing could be just one instance zone or only hold a few building so you can do more with it.

i hope that idea does get release in ffxiv someday it's would take time but it's worth the time and the wait IMO.

Where did they say free company airship? Not dissing, just really want to see that post lol.

I know airship talk and its likely to come, but the details that I know are minimal.

I hope they don't drop the ball on housing as well but from the screens it looks like they are on the right track. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us

i was thinking this too... When i see some features of other mmo i say, Wow, maybe XIV will have this one day?
Maybe as you said is better to stay with feet on the ground :P

I remember reading it will not be in at launch. It sounds like the want to make it a quite complex system so I wouldn't be surprised.

I can't see it being that expensive, the XIV housing is probably more fix'd and we just pop stuff in specific locations or have a few choices, especially if it's group instanced based.
(though i hope i'm wrong and we see something at least like SWG had (without the option to spam houses everywhere)but something to that level would be amazing).
But the FFXIV world up till now and from what i see in the 2.0 stuff, is still extremely static and lifeless, so yeah..

Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

and on side not FU OP now i want to sub up and look at that when its out! .

The correct answer is: Very many big.
