Would You Sacrifice Your House for a Mansion-Sized Apartment?

No, but I would drop my ward mansion in a heartbeat if it meant an instanced housing area I could have all to myself. Apartments are great, but if they can do that, they can give us an instanced plot too, since the only difference would be adding a small outdoor area.

Yoshida said himself years ago that he knows ppl want instanced housing but the only reason they are not doing it is because he prefers the ward system, which says a lot about how this game is handled. That was a big topic of discussion for a hot minute.

Same. I have a small, and I prefer that size and layout. Offer me a fully functional instanced plot off by itself with some generic scenery? In a heartbeat! Bonus points if they add backdrops at about the same frequency as new housing skins, so you can switch out the background scenery at will, and eventually make it look like anywhere in Eorzea.

When it comes to apartments/FC rooms though, I’d like to see them get their own range of sizes and layouts, rather than just copy/pasting the house interiors through the size remodel they’re talking about. What we have now could be the Small: a Studio apartment, Medium could be a Loft (with stairs going up to an actual built-in loft that allows furniture to be placed on it!) and Large could be a Penthouse: multiple levels, maybe an outdoor balcony or courtyard type area for placing garden plots and outdoor furniture.
