Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Nalien]

Can we get either an adjustment to, or a variant of, the Display Stand? I'd absolutely love if these could be handled the same way as picture frames, just for displaying Minions instead of paintings. Since I imagine it perhaps needs a consumable to function, much like the picture frames, perhaps give the Joyous Painter a friend who makes Minion models? That would allow us to convert obtained Minions into a consumable to display on such an item.

If I'm not mistaken they said they had something in the works for us regarding minions and having them around yesterday during the live letter.

I think it'll be for a different content piece. Although might I suggest a playpen area, that's something they could put into housing where the minion(s) have a specific space they can play in and so they don't just wander around aimlessly. Also that new housing pool item from the summer seasonal could be another suitable minion pen I think (have them floating about inside the pool space).

Q62:
I'd like to be allow my minions to roam around my house, like they do in the Gold Saucer's Minion Square.

A62:
I’ve mentioned this before, but for minions to walk around the house, they would need to avoid other objects, which doesn’t seem like something we can do with the current housing system. It’ll take some time before we can announce it, but we’re planning a sort of “farm” for them, so please look forward to it.

I wonder if the mannequins for the missing races are now available?

That's the aged old "Let minions roam the house" idea, I just want to display them as static trophies... Like a figurine display or something... The only option we currently have for that isn't great IMO, the thinks like the Susano Miniature furnishing just don't sit right with me; The base is a hideous eyesore IMO. The selection we have for them is very incomplete as well... Arguably the same is true for minions, but there are far more minions on offer... You could display Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, Leviathan, Ramuh and Shiva as a complete set. With the Miniatures... You have a Zurvan Miniature and Sophia Miniature, but no Sephirot Miniature... None of the original 6 Primals have a Miniature... A Display Stand you can just slap static models of minions you've obtained on would work so much better, even if the models are cartoony minions rather than the 1:1 realistic copy of Miniatures...

I would like to see an option that lets us preview the fish and trimmings that we can put into the fishtanks!

Some arent excatly easy to get, so it would be nice to see if they fit with the general design of the house - and even if they're easy to get a preview would still help with the picking and chosing instead of going out and getting 30 different fish to check out!

Yeah I think a good compromise is to say have a minion furnishing and choose to display a minion of your choice. For instance, a dog house which a dog minion or beast minion will animate popping out of every so often. Bird cage for flaying minions, cat tree for felines. They don't have to roam around per se I just want to feel like they're part of my home.

Sell apartments with a garden, please!

I don't know if this is in the works already or not, but I'd really like to suggest an Il Mheg pixie house skin.

And with the skins, I'd like to suggest internal housing skins. They'd be something you can craft in the workshop just like the skins and they would allow you to create a new internal layout. Perhaps they could have unique flooring styles, different locations of the stairs, different styles of stairs, no pillars, etc. But you could still put wallpaper and change out the lights and everything.

So you could have one of those gorgeous Il Mheg flower houses with an interior to match, and I personally would just be in heaven.

I'd like to see more Ahriman things for the houses!
