Regarding Apartments and their (lack of) features...

[Jynx]

I would like to see penthouse expansions sometime in the future. Just more space really.
I can't get a real house because all the plots are bought up, even though I have the money. It would just be nice to have an extra floor or something.

Honestly this is how player housing should have been dealt with in the first place. Expandable instances and unique layouts.

I expected it to be a FC room because they never showed how an apartment room looked like. But I was desperately hoping to be proven wrong.

That said, I was still hoping for something to differentiate between an apartment and a FC room.
Part of me was hoping we'd get more windows. Or the same type of large window we find at the Inn rooms. I love the giant window in the limsa room. Or a room the same size of the Squadron room.

But nope, copy/paste FC room. I can only hope that someone in the near future, that they add more apartments and that they allow us to buy up to two or three of them. That way, I can at least pretend to have a house with different rooms.

I wish hope they work more on apartments. A balcony perhaps or maybe more item slot. I mean, there's room to improve, right?

[Aronys]

If I recall correctly, wasn't it said that the apartments would be slightly bigger than a FC room?

Either way, I'm happy to have gotten mine, as I don't have a house. I can now finally have a proper place of my own. ^^

The apartment space is only a tiny upgrade from a shipping container. Way too tiny...

[AsahinaMyLove]

I was thinking we get a real appartment >.<

Like: We can walk a floor and see the appartment doors :U

But its just a Click and buy/visit room

They've been saying all along its housing for people who don't have a home or FC. That's all you were ever getting. Did you not catch the threads earlier saying they can't wait to see people realize what it is they were hyped up for despite showing off exactly what they're buying? It's like the people who are trying to buy up apartments to resell later, they're worthless.

Summarises everything. Spot on

In my new apartment like;

HAHAHA Love this! x10!

Apartments are not subjected to auto demolition. That beats out FC/Private houses by a malm and then some.

Exactly. The security this has actually suits my preference since sometimes there are life situations out of one's control and the thought that I'd have my private space intact afterwards is a great relief.

Part of me was hoping we'd get more windows. Or the same type of large window we find at the Inn rooms. I love the giant window in the limsa room.

Oh, I agree. Those big windows that really let light in on sunny days are so much better than the tiny dark windows that housing has (for either houses or apartments).

I can only hope that someone in the near future, that they add more apartments and that they allow us to buy up to two or three of them. That way, I can at least pretend to have a house with different rooms.

It'd be something, but I'd prefer the ability to upgrade our apartment to a bigger/nicer one over the ability to buy multiples. Have the current apartments be the basic version, but then let us upgrade from that to a larger room, with nicer windows and a balcony. (If it's too difficult to make the balcony of an instanced room work with the outdoors, it could be an enclosed sunroom balcony.) But either way, let it support a small garden and a few small outdoor furnishings.

The apartment space is only a tiny upgrade from a shipping container. Way too tiny...

They do at least start to seem bigger once you start filling them up. I checked out a few of the apartments people had set up if they opened them up to visitors. The ones that had subdivided the space into multiple areas and had well organized furniture filling them seemed a lot bigger than the ones that hadn't been furnished yet and were still just a bare room. (But yes, I too wish there were at least options for bigger ones.)
