PSA: you might not want an individual medium or large house

[Raim]

Smalls have a counterintuitive layout, mediums have their stairs that are inexplicably flipped from the way they should be and cut off valuable floor real estate all over the place, larges have asinine pillars and weird zone-specific differences and an awkward giant basement and the window room and all in all nowhere near enough item limit for the space. No layout is really ideal, every one of them will pop up some problem that interferes with your design goals eventually.

What gets me is when people declare "I can't live in a small!" before they've ever even tried decorating out a small or apartment space. It's shooting yourself in both feet and a recipe for unhappiness. Hell, in a non-zero amount of cases what people really want to achieve their goals that can "only fit in a large" is actually a small FC house and multiple alt rooms - trying to wedge too many purpose-built spaces into a single house is one of those things that torpedoes a design before it even starts.

Seriously, though: there's a reason the most valuable house in the game on the grey market is a medium, not a large. (Okay, multiple reasons, but still.)

Out of curiosity, what specific house is that?

I believe he's talking about Lavender Beds Plot 41, which is the most sought after property in all of Eorzea.
