Please more housing wards soon. And no more FC/Private Hybrid.

Something they were talking about, can’t remember if it was an interview or one of the panels at Fanfest. But it could be really cool if they pull it off… and better yet, create even more interior layouts to choose from!

Could you tell me more perhaps? <3

There doesn't seem to be that much information that was shared other than it was something they are working on. YoshiP talked about it during the live reading (JP only) of the 6.5 patch notes back on October 2nd. If you are fluent in JP or have a friend who is, the VOD should be available on FFXIV's YouTube and/or Twitch channels.

I am curious as watching and reading leads me to believe we are looking at a "under the hood" housing system revamp.

I suspect this ties in with Yoshi telling us they were looking at how to increase item limits in Vegas; because if Housing mirage did become a thing - 100 items for a large interior would be hilariously sparse. I suspect SE is looking at housing interiors entirely with regards to manipulation of both layout and limitation - which seems somewhat like a decent compromise as larges/mediums would still have exteriors that people would then commence complaining about. Ideally it would hopefully open the door to more interior layouts like the ever popular 1 floor "large" layout without a incredibly wasteful investment of lofts and partitions to block off 90% of the large to make a elaborate living space.

I suspect its all part of the same package.

He told us a few months before Housing Mirage was mentioned that we would be getting the item limits increased in Dawntrail. Housing Mirage is still a work in progress that they haven't committed to implementing (but I doubt it would have been mentioned if they weren't fairly confident they can deliver).

It's still possible we'll get both at the same time but I wouldn't bet on it. If we do get Mirage, I strongly suspect that interior item limits will be tied to the interior size chosen and not the plot size.

There's still the question of what cost there will be to players for changing their interior size and if we'll be able to change them as often as we like or only one time after purchase. I doubt it is something we would be able to do for free.

I’m really hoping they’re investing some time and effort in doing different layouts like that. I have a small and that’s my preferred size; I like the yard layout and the interior floor and stair layout. What I’m hoping for is an attic (essentially the same size as my ground floor just adding a stairwell to the other side of the house) or the ability to add FC like extra rooms.

Along with talk of removing pillars, I’ve heard some people hoping that they would open it up to being able to change the position of staircases or maybe offer different layouts with the stairs in different places. Honestly that’s what I hated the most about mediums… if the inside had the staircases similar to the smalls it would be a lot easier to work with!

I know I’m a dreamer lol but since the insides are instanced, they have a lot more they can do with them. Really hopeful that they see the desire for more variety and customization here…

I'd rather be given the option to design my own layout rather than rely on the developers to provide a handful of choices that may not suit what I have in mind. What if I wanted the staircases to upstairs and downstairs to be side by side or stacked to help create room divisions on the ground floor?
