"But players can't socialize in instanced housing!" they cry while AFK dancing in the instanced venue interior.

I never understood the appeal to get a in game house. And I don't think I'll ever get one. After reading some posts, about houses being destroyed, because you're not logging in....nah, keep those restrictions and the house. Good luck to the owners out there.

Would it suck if OP had house on their first try?

Everything in this game is instanced but housing is a step too far lmao.

The housing mirage system notes is from the October Patch note reading, it's a comment Yoshi made that is translated differently between the FFXIV reddit discord and native Japanese speakers.

So until SE makes an announcement, it doesn't make sense for people to be thinking "yay smalls are all of a sudden going to be larges on the inside, every plot will get 400 interior slots and 400 storage slots".

Other native JP speakers have translated as the interior layouts will have more settings to choose from, for example a no pillar option, no center staircase in a large or side staircase in a medium, a blank space where you can create your own floors, smalls having a top second floor rather than a basement or one really tall floor.

Not to mention void builds which SE has reset once before and don't want people to build out there, so why not allow void builders the space to do what they are doing but inside the bounds SE needs for server stability.

The glamour system simply changes the look of what is being represented. I personally don't see how more storage space (aka more slots, smalls all getting 800 slots instead of 400) would tie into that when they struggle as is for server space.

It's not for me to kill anyone's hopium though, believe whatever you want as long as people don't spread misinformation and then harass the devs later when the misinterpretation is wrong.

Happy Housing

They said nothign about increasing the floorspace but they are going to increase the amount of things you can place inside. THAT'S what was said before...

[AzhreiVahlok]

I’d love an apartment with a loft in the back, so long as said loft acts like a floor for furniture placement!

or you could simply learn to float furniture.

or you could simply learn to float furniture.

I already do, but that’s not what I had in mind… I was thinking more like a built-in loft with actual stairs on one side going up to it. Would be a lot more slot efficient.
