Where's your house going to be?

[Andreas-Lycaeus]

Thank you so much!! I was crawling the website haha; I really need my morning coffee XD I will send you one also as a way of thanks!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Thanks to both of you! Looking forward to it. That suggests that individual housing still has to be a part of Free Company Housing though? Was hoping to have my own house, especially since I think my LS is going to build in Limsa.

Housing will be available for both players AND free company^^ (woo!)
though I -think- that it's being released for FC only at first, then players a time after? Not sure if they have changed this though. I'll only be buying a personal house; I won't split ingame assests with anyone unless they are within punching distance irl haha XD

I feel so horrible asking for a source again, especially since I read this myself ages ago anyway. If you come across it though, please let me know!! Can't wait to have my own little house in Gridania!

EDIT: Q1: What’s the difference between Free Company housing and individual player housing?
A1: Fundamentally, there will not be many differences since individual housing will have the same features as Free Company housing when it is released; however, there will be differences in regards to whether the parks and towers are set for personal use or for Free Company members.

Individual Housing gives it away a little. A good sign I need to go to sleep!

Q: Will houses be personal or shared?

A: First it will be joint housing. A house of this size is going to require everyone to dish out some dough. It’s pretty expensive.

You can make furniture available to people of the same free company, or, if you want, you can set permission levels so all of your friends can use the furniture and what not. There are quite a few settings.

The reason why we’ve decided to establish them as free company bases first is because inside of the houses there is a new kind of system that involves parks and towers.

Parks would give a bonus to everyone in the free company, like an extra 25% to experience points earned. It could make crafting faster to level, or maybe give success bonuses for HQ crafting. It's a system that allows members to add things that will give boons to the entire free company. You’ll be able to increase the size of your house, and also your company can rank-up through free company points, allowing you to place more parks and towers around.


I’d first like to create a strong community within FFXIV. When new members join, you’ll be able to get more points, and we’d like to establish a system that encourages people to support new players coming into the game. Once the community has had time to come together we will then allow players to have their own private housing and branch out from there

Even for an MMO, I believe it’s nice to have a place to call home.

I'll still donate to a FC a little (Depends on the people in the FC to be honest, if they are nice I'll help them a lot more!), but the majority of my stuff is staying with me, under lock and key with armed moogles lol and no one gets anything really valuable unless I can go all Bruce Lee on their ass irl XD. Yelling WATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH down a headset doesn't have the same effect! lol

Since you guys mentioned furniture for your homes, I wanted to mention a bit of related info:

The home is where the heart is! And in this instance the heart of stuffed animals!

We're planning on implementing stuffed animals and soft toys for housing decorations. The designs haven't been finalized just yet, but we want to make them pretty cute...
