Mog Houses & Shops (with more!)

[normalforce]

I think there was a misunderstanding there.

Let me explain...

In FFXI there was a quest in which you could buy mannequin parts (5 matching gender/race wise) and once you had all 5 you did a quest to combine them and make a mannequin that you would place in your moghouse. This mannequin then gave you extra 7 slots and you were able to use these slots by 'dressing' the mannequin with the epic gear/shield/weapon(s) you have acquired through your travels. You were only able to have 2 mannequins max. Each part had to obtained through an event as it could not be sold on the auction house. However you could buy it from someone's bazaar or trade it for a lot of gil of course.

It was a great idea. Once (or if ever) we get player housing I would love to see this make a come back.

Yea, I loved the mannequins from FFXI and all their poses! <3

And because my brain won't shut off, imagine this as the start of a mannequins quests series...

You have just completed the previous mannequin quest and have painstakingly collected all the pieces for your mannequin that had been scattered all over Eorzea. You dress up your mannequin in a full armor set, complete with weapon, set it up ain a corner of your house, admire it for a bit then go on with your life. A week later, you enter your house and a cutscene starts.

As soon as you walk through the door, you jump to the side as a sword (or whatever weapon you equipped the mannequin with) comes down where your head used to be. The screen pans right and your mannequin is staring at you with those lifeless eyes while tugging on the sword to pull it free from the wall. Once it does, it lifts up the sword again and charges.

Which leads to a mini-battle where you have to fight and defeat your mannequin. Once defeated, a new series of quests begin, leading you to solve the Mystery of the Maddened Mannequin.

Personal Spaces(mog house), Linkshell Halls, and Moogles delivering mail

(YES PLEASE!)

Moogles won't deliver mail in this game, sorry (they prefer the magicks of the Twelveswood; do the story line) instead we'll probably have Mamet helpers to replace the moogles if anything.

That's why houses will have gardens, it'll draw the Moogles in like flies to honey. And then, when the Moogle least suspect it, my patent pending, stainless steel Moogles trap will drop from the ceiling, capturing the Moogle. And I'll eat good that night!

but imagine a Mamet spinning after you tell it to do something! (Head spins clockwise while the body and limbs spin counter-clockwise!) It's a spin +1 (and if they implement housing they need to one up the XI housing lol)

I admit that having a Mamet has a certain appeal to it. It could clank and clunk around the house. Giving it crystals keeps it energized for whatever tasks need to done around the place.

I was perusing the dev tags to see if anything came close to housing and the best I could come up with (and it's a weak relationship at that) is... dev1002 - Storylines and World Quests or dev1003 - Grand Companies quest.

Getting a house could be a reward or perk for completing some important world quest. It might work well with the Grand Companies they plan to add. Do enough work for them and they'll throw you this bone. Of course, there's a weekly upkeep that needs to be paid and they don't take gil, only Grand Companies specially printed coins.

It would be pretty cool if we could upgrade our mog houses through quests. For example, you could add a basement, or extra rooms, similar to the way Animal Crossing handles upgrades. Maybe you do a quest, and pay off the contractors who upgrade your house.
