but this jukebox will probably need a house to begin with , be it FC or Personal....and how long u stand there?

We’ve kept you all waiting for quite some time now, but the jukebox-like system, the “Orchestrion,” will be implemented in Patch 3.2. This can be placed in the inn, house, and private chamber, and it will play music if you have the sheet music for it.

It's for everyone, though I guess your point still stands, who the hell spends time in their Inn room? Most have probably forgotten it exists...

Personally though, I spend a lot of time in my house, though even if I didn't I'd still really be looking forward to this, because the music is certainly one of this games high points. Collecting and listening to the music is a big plus point in my books.

In other news; Yay for more furniture slots for houses and 512, which seems to be, limited spaces for apartments - for the first 512 people and their alts who manage to purchase them?

I really don't get why they didn't jump lump this in on Inns... Just give us a bleedin' customizable Inn room that are identical to Private Rooms... We'd have 512*4 (4 Inns) rooms per server, slap the Chocobo Stable for everyone somewhere (there is a whole section of Ishgard that would fit nicely...), and then maybe slap a Free Company Workshop, for Free Companies without a House, somewhere like Mor Dhona. Done. Then everyone has the benefit of Housing. All Housing becomes is a central location for all this stuff, plus the House itself. People without a House still get the Private Room through Inns, they still get the Chocobo Stable, even the Workshop, all Housing does is put all those things in one convenient locations.
