Please Devs, Add Crystarium housing!

[Streletzia]

I hardly see why eventually the land can't return to normal and things like housing become necessary, y'all are acting like the events in ShB just happened yesterday. People just want to disagree to disagree because they think it's fun. "Do you really think..." arguments are pretty...assertive. Take it easy people. I for one think Crystarium housing would be amazing, and I truly hope that upsets people.

There is already lore in the game that outright states that accomodation in the Crystarium is at a premium (a Lakeland sidequest mentions about a npc that was hoping to move there and it was only because a vacancy opened up that she was able to do so, they would have had to turn her away otherwise), so actual FC-style housing is just not possible. We do have a fancy inn room there though so I think that will be the limit of 'housing' available there.

More likely you'll see Crystarium style brick and steel wallpaper and internal housing fittings to compliment the Crystarium furnishing already available, but as actual housing, I sadly don't think it will happen (Ishgardian housing is still yet to be added and that's been requested for years).

NPC: I'm sorry there is just not enough room for you- please understand, we'll place you on the waiting list.
WoL: *slides 200 million gil across the table*
NPC: We suddenly have all vacancies!

As for my usual dead horse drum, uhm.. instanced housing hurray! lol. In so much that the quantity of available houses, of the type and location desired, is always able to meet player demand, such like wildstar, eso, and loads of other mmos (it's certainly not something I'd say is easy, given the circumstances far from that, but at least it's also not unheard of black magickery lol). Without slapping many spoilers I still think that last zone in ShB opened up a great opportunity for instanced housing. That would have been a cool way to earn your own, manipulatable, space.

I'd love it tbh. And the people siting lore to say no like.. you realise we healed the land with the eden raids? They could establish housing there and just have it be we get a house and all other players are actually just the other ppl lore wise moving in to live their lives. Plenty ways to make it work.

That Eden land that's just beginning the first step in a lengthy recovery from a barren wasteland to being able to support life at some time in the future? Yeah, let's dig that up and put up a giant chocobo house.

Yes, lets! Come end of endwalker it could have been years over there in theory since it was already established that time moves differently there when we first arrived, the other scions had already been there for a considerable time. The building of a settlement there makes sense to me! Braving the unknown and cultivating the land and helping it grow.

Except that would then have to mandate completion of the Eden raids simply to acess, as for those that don't want to raid or couldn't be bothered with it (because it is after all optional content) wouldn't be able to go there (I myself hate raiding and have never bothered with Eden), due to creating a plot hole where from their perspective the Empty still exists.

Given the who-ha over having to mandate the Crystal Tower raids for ShB's storyline, I do not see SE doing anything like that again. So restoring the Empty to a proper geological environment is and will remain optional content.

I still want to live in the Macarenses Angle. I don't care about NPC's, Lore or whatever someone might miss there. I love that Place. So why not make there Apartments? Yeah it is under Water and we can breath under Water (only God knows why). And we don't need there NPC's or whatever. Plain and simple 2 Room Aparments with a Balcony. Emet invited us to the Macarenses Angle, why waste a Place like that? I am sure that I am not the only one who wants to live there.

Now you're cooking with kupo pom poms!

I was honestly thinking of a something something area that relates to someone named Emet (last zone); though having a place in Eden sounds cool. .

Of course to me I'm still thinking akin to Wildstar or ESO and in which case my brain says "why not both?" lol. Because that would totally be do-able, even from a lore perspective, if you had the right housing system. In Wildstar you'd just collect the essence of zones to which you replicate them in your own aether space. The latter would obviously just be being able to own multiple houses just like that game (and being more serious you could lore in why your presence in a fragile area is good, part of the area could have some sort of stabilization effect, easy peazy lore).

Naturally if we use our exact current housing system, doing either would be relatively "wut?". Lock entire ward behind level 80 MSQ / a raid, huehue...hueheuehehehehehe lol.

Because

a), the city is fake, and there are no real apartments there at all - they're just mostly fake buildings Emet made with a few facilities to show what things were like 12000 years ago. The place is just a very fancy glamour he laid over the ruins of the real thing like a tablecloth.
b) He only created the place to prove a point to you about how great his civilization was at it's height (and because he was lost in his grief of losing said civilization), it was never meant to be an actual functioning city.
And c) the guy who created it is now dead (well, Emet is in the Lifestream sleeping but there is basically no distinction ).

I mean, there is nothing stopping SE adding more Amaurotine inspired furnishings and housing components to make your house/FC chambers/apartment resemble Amaurot 12000 years ago (there is already the distintinctive Amaurotine wall lamps available), but an actual Amaurot

residential area for players is about as likely as FFXIV 1.0 being restored I'm sorry to say.

Well first we need to create a transdimensional moving company to get all our crap from the other housing areas over to the first shard.
