Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

Oh my god no. That would bankrupt me in no time flat. Maybe YOU can make hundreds of millions of gil easily, but I had to work my butt off just to save enough to buy the place. That kind of upkeep is ludicrous.

It barely would be an issue, if you could buy a house in the first case, especially if medium or large... then it would be no issue to keep such upkeep.

You're making a lot of assumptions there that because you could afford it others should be able to. It took me all expansion to save to move from a small to a medium. I was proud o raised the money to do so, having an upkeep like that would make it impossible for me to have a house. Just because you can make money easy doesn't mean everyone, or even most players can

Please remove this time that we do not know for the purchase of houses

Without that timer, you won't even see a house to begin with.

I'm still waiting on the "no chandelier" option. Soon, please.

Losing a house because you've been busy with other things while playing the game and simply didn't enter it for a month

In other words, you didn't need that house.
It takes maybe 2 mins to just teleport and enter, you had plenty of time.

I was thinking, I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but the buying of housing plots...
I understand the purpose of the random timer, but would it maybe be better/possible to implement a house auctioneer NPC who has a list of all available plots in each ward/area; and players can bid once per house and be entered into a lottery system of sorts? If you get a house, you are automatically removed from pools for other houses.
I don't know if that would be possible or something anyone would like better than the current "Find a place, camp/check back repeatedly and click either nonstop or every few hours hoping that you click during that window before someone else".

Please give us a 8+ slot garden with no scarecrow



Scarecrow does not go with minimalist or eastern decor, or even look good next to high production value items from later patches.

I have a few ideas that I think are simple and reasonable to implement

I recently lost my house to demolition, which mostly I feel embarrassed and a lot of shame about, but I’m gonna validate myself and say my life has been insane, and I have spend many many hours in it and decorating it. The past month and a half I logged outside my house and generally afk’d there when doing weeklies. And as stupid as I am I just forgot about demolition, cause I’m using my house right? Why would I lose it.

Yes it’s incredibly easy to walk into your house, but... well junk happens, life happens, and people shouldn’t have their house demolished that they do in fact use regularly/have worked really hard on.

2 easy quality of life changes

-Send demolish notifications to moogle mail/support notifications(if mail is full). I have like 10 emails for work etc, I don’t check the one ff14 is on. And it benefits players who are actually playing to receive notifications in game.

And/or

-Reset demolition when you, the owner, teleport to your estate. There is a reason location is important in housing, so if you’re using your location it makes sense to reset the timer.

I understand demolition is a bandaid solution to larger issues, and I want to say that I overall disagree with the idea of demolition in game houses. But yes there is a lot of underlying issues that I can leave to the smarter people. I think these 2 changes are reasonable and would be helpful to those who are busy but still deserve to keep their house.

Just get inside the house, it’s not that hard *facepalm*
