Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Lenne]

Please give us more neutral options for every aspect of decorating, including indoor furniture, outdoor furniture, wallpaper, floors, fences, etc.

Dyeable wooden furniture without metal accents
Furniture without accent colors
Furniture without excessively ornate details and/or patterns

Wood wallpaper with no stripes, lines or details--just a wooden panel that's dyeable.
Stone wallpaper with no tiles or patterns--just a solid stone panel, like on the demon wall, but dyeable.
Plain, solid-colored wallpaper that is dyeable.

Plain, patternless rugs that are dyeable, and come in a large range of sizes.

Exterior walls and fencing that run straight across, without dips and rises in random places.
Plain wooden fence
Plain stone wall

Please also consider allowing us to change the interior structural pillars/staircases/molding/chair railing/ceiling styles that come with the house, and make those dyeable too, and maybe even add some new, less ornate styles.

I appreciate fancy, ornate decorations, but we need neutral furnishings in order to balance them out.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for your continued feedback, I have forwarded all your recent suggestions to the development team.

I have touched on this topic before and wanted to provide a brief update. The development team is continuing to look into a feature that will allow you to set the brightness of the lighting in your houses, but as a result of adjusting the development schedule the team has been prioritizing other tasks. Once there is more concrete information about this feature I will be sure to update you.

A music box with all the songs we have seen in cutscenes and dungeons would be an amazing addition. Especially for 1.0 tracks that are only in certain cutscenes or battles!

What about interactive furniture? I don't have a manor instrument yet, but are we able to play them? If not, that should totally happen! We're able to click on floor lamps to turn them on and off, so I also think that candles and wall-mounted light fixtures should be interactive as well. We should be able to snuff candles out in the day and light them back up at night. Same goes for items like the manor fireplace. Any word on advancements like this?

We already have something to that effect. fountains, the aforementioned instrument, Titan lamps, bells, mailboxes and the Armoire can be interacted with.

Also gardens

This is a little out there, and with the housing areas already taxing the serves as much as they do... this is still in the pipe dream realm but here goes.

Since in pretty much every FF game hidden walls in town / homes that lead to treasures has always exist. With that being said i would like to see some kinda mini-game of sorts where you can create a hidden area you can explore within your own home. Maybe even some sorta puzzle anyone who visits your house. You find this hidden entrance that cast mini on you (so you can make a bigger puzzle due to actual space in your house, and they are already implementing this for build a airship in your basement) then you make your way through said puzzle which probably will not be anything to intense and then at the end there will be treasure or something. Maybe a treasure chest that drops elixers or something not game breaking or economy altering but still a little useful (could even implemt a rng thing that drops rare items only obtained through home chest. And so as to not completely waste peoples time you would have a icon on the map showing that you have something like this in your home.

Reasoning behind this is mostly to get more people walking around in the wards, i wants those places to feel more alive and while i dont want a zerg fest making me DC all the time lol... i think this would bring a fair amount of adventures to the area seeking a little fun while waiting for DF or something.

I have word that the development team is looking into a new type of NPC you can add to your homes, but they may end up making your house reek of fish…

When leveling fisher, the location of bait merchants are placed such that as you level you will naturally run into them as you move from fishing location to fishing location, and they’ll supply the appropriate bait for your level. However, once you hit 50 it's a bit inconvenient to track down the bait you want and the development team feels it would be nice if there were a convenient NPC that supplied all of your bait needs.

In the event that this potentially smelly NPC is added to the array of NPCs that can be placed in your houses, we will also add a similar NPC to open field areas as well for players who do not possess a house.
