Would be cool if we could have ls members for neighbors. I do remember Yoshi saying at one point he liked the idea of having neighbors but I think it was just an idea that never made it to the drawing board.

Well this was kinda confirmed:

JPGAMES.DE, Frederick: So called “free companies” are going to be implemented with the release of FINAL FANTASY XIV 2.0, additionally player housings and the summoning of the primal Ifrit are planned features. Can you give us some details on this matter?

Yoshida Naoki: About the housing estates for the free companies, at the moment most disciples of the hand or of the land are thinking: “Why are they concentrating on the battle side?” Housing estates are going to be very important for those players, because it is more related to the lifestyle. We can make sure these players, trying out different classes, can really fell like they are taking place in the game, that was really important to us. Even for an MMO it is something very special to have your own house in the game, so we are fully aware of that and we are making sure it is really going to be exciting.

Unlike other MMOs, in which you can only see your own house and each house is based on an instanced system, we want to make sure that other players can actually see your house as well. Around 20 houses can be in one area, you can make houses, not anywhere, but you will be able to decide in which part you want to have your house. You can also design your house itself and have your own garden, maybe you can grow your own Gysahl Greens there or house your own chocobo. You can really customize your own estate.


At the moment, in the Dev Team, you can actually see the mock up of the polygons. So you can see what the estate is going to look like. It’s the Limsa Lominsa version, and the concept is to make it like a European resort area, so it is going to be really beautiful. Up from the hill you can see the ocean, it’s going to be really nice, I believe. I’m looking forward to it.

Players will be able to have their own neighborhoods with their free company (assuming that's a linkshell in 2.0) One of the things I'm looking forward to the most.

I'm very glad to hear of gardening coming back our way. That was dun to meddle with in XI.

[Vydos]

I am thrilled to hear that having neighbors is an actual possibility. Yes I know that's it's been stated in the interview. But I'm keeping my expectations low. I'm really starting to think that they're getting their inspiration from "White knight Chronicles"(Which is a good thing!). However I only want to be able to invite people inside that I want too.

My house shall not become one of those npc houses in rpg's where adventurers walk inside and open my treasure chests for gold and items XD. Otherwise I'll be crafting a lawn chair and a shotgun. While sitting in my front yard with my straw hat and yelling to people. "Get outta my lawn!"

Off topic rant: WHY IS MAINTENANCE STILL UP OMFOGMFOGMOMGOFMOGMGOGMOGMOGM?

[Vingtdeux]

And if you get a garden, do you also think you'll get a stable for your chocobos? Or do you think that will be handled at a town stable? Yes, you'll be able to have your own personal stables.

Do you think Herding will be added as a possible class? Why would you need this class?

Will you have to be a harvester to maintain your garden? Assuming there will be a reg. garden, and you can make it nicer with your BTN. But yes it's been said that BTNs will be able to tend to their gardens and customize them.

What kind of items do you think you'll be able to grow? As of yet I've seen different herbs, fruits, and vegetables mentioned.

Who cares about chocobos and vegetables, I want my own FatHouseCat in my personal home <3

Wouldn't it be cool if you could capture and display some mobs as pets?

Given that they're small enough to fit into your house of course. I will not rest until I see a mandagora jumping gleefully on my sofa.
