Can retainers be deployed in our house?

[Vivi_Bushido]

The retainer can always be in door just for decorative/immersion purpose, it's not like the in/out door placement should be mutually exclusive anyway. Besides, I wonder how many player actually place tier retainer outside solely to sell items instead of decorative purpose (or both).

That's why I suggested the ability to edit the already existing interior NPCs instead. Don't really need the retainers themselves inside if they aren't serving their functions. In my opinion, it would be better for them to give you the option to fully customize the interior NPCs instead of creating a whole new furniture slot that check marks the retainers as interior instead of exterior . Personally, I would much rather be able to edit my mender and have them still function as a mender then place a retainer inside that still functions like my yard retainer. Especially if it consumes one of the already very limited NPC slots. Then I would be sacrificing an NPC I could use in exchange for one that just looks prettier. SE should either build upon what the retainers are able to do or just simply allow us to re-edit and design the various NPCs ourselves; as if they were our retainers but still allow them to function as Material Suppliers, Menders, Materia Melders, ect.
