Why does "The Island of my Dreams" look exactly like everyone elses?

[Azuri]

I can't say I'm surprised. It was obvious that the prcie for everyone getting their own island is highly limited customization. Despite what some copium-huffers here say, Square isn't giving everyone 600 freely customizable slots for stuff. Some simply fail to admit that a feature limited to a predetermined number of players will always be more complex than the one available to absolutely everyone.

But it does seem a touch more limited than I expected. I remember dyes being mentioned? Which doesn't seem to be the case. And a couple more "hooks" for a small variety of random decorations within the hideaway would have helped.

Personally i would like to give the benifit of the doubt that more options will come down the road. They have already said that they plant to continue to add to the island content so lets see where it leads.

The dyes and a few other items evidently get added to the vendors after completing the rank 10 quest.

I never realized we were all so un-creative, I didnt know that all of you also wanted an island with 20 random animals, 3 workshops 2 granarys, a windmill, lighthouse and bathhouse.

Infact I didnt even know I wanted that, my dreams are weird.

The island of my dreams would have had more rainbows and chocolate and plushies.

It's because we're living in a simulation.

My dream island would be a Garrison in Azeroth.

The garrison is on Draenor, not Azeroth. Nice try tho.

Behold the power of YoshiP, he knows excatly what you and everyone else wants. He can sneak into your dreams and see your carving desire for boring, uncreative and low quality content.
If an island from Animal Crossing would see how passionless this island was designed it would sink itself.

My dream island would be a Garrison in Azeroth.

I know that one to, it was nothing groundbreaking but 10 times better than what we got. The buildings had meaning and could add something usefull for the main game. Also i liked the mission board a lot, i would say it was even a bit better than our retainers.

I think that was the point, though. The garrison was intended to be a central element to the plot (and I agree, I enjoyed the mission board back then). Island Sanctuary specifically isn't supposed to be plot-essential. It's entire purpose is to be side content like the Gold Saucer that you can do at your leisure while waiting for queues, chatting with your FC or LS, etc.. I wouldn't expect it to be of the same level of involvement as something that drives the entire plot.

someone else who misses the point.
