FFXIV Request: Mog houses/Private residences

[Betelgeuzah]

This sounds like a fan-fic more than anything reasonable imesho.

I don't want to be rude of course, as an idea it is a good one but you've gotta be able to understand how much effort SE can and should give for a feature like this. Especially when company headquarters are already "on the way", it makes implementing this kind of a feature even less important of a task.

It's not going to be the same as in XI, but without a doubt it is not going to be any worse either, especially if it matters more for over-all gameplay than XI's mog house did. I really think we should look at how the company feature shapes up like and then give feedback based on that concept instead of making them build both our own housing and company housing, perhaps making both systems lackluster and not polished enough. I don't think this kind of system is so good that it deserves two features. Most MMO's don't even have single player housing-type feature. However, if for some reason Yoshida has scrapped the company headquarters idea then this concept of yours can and should be given more attention.

A couple of things with that theory.

First, we don't know what company housing would be like in the first place, if at all.

Secondly, they could be linked, like one of my suggestions with a central hub for the whole company/linkshell, and private houses surrounding it that individual players can customize.

Finally, whatever can be used for company housing, could simply be used for player housing as well. as the system is already in place, it's quite easy to adjust it for private housing as well, as the models would be there, and instanced areas, and more. Besides which, we WILL get our own residences. This is not up for debate. It's something everyone wants, or at least wouldn't mind, and it's something greatly missed from FFXI. The question is simply whether housing would be tied to companies, or not, and what about those who don't want to be in a company? They would just have to sleep on the streets? Somehow, I don't see SE making something as private as your own area to call your home require grouping with others to do so.
