Player Housing

[Fensfield]

Mmh...

Well, my wild guess is that the private room system is there for people not in a Free Company, and thus not able to have a house of their own on a Company Estate.

Where Company Estate houses will (supposedly) enable furnishing and such (the old Mog-House functions), they'll also supposedly allow for the structure itself to be modified and improved and changed, gardening, chocobo rearing in said garden, and possibly a basement for larger craft projects.

So I imagine that.. in their final, 2.0 form at the very least, Private Rooms will not be limited in what they can do, but simply lack the exteranl customisation/gardening/basement elements.

I hope it at least had a tiny bit of depth of Xi's feng shui buffs furniture and gardenung depth and gameplay. If it's just a room with no connection to field actions or stats then I don't see the point.

I'm sure everybody is expecting the full featured version but given the past year we can only wait and see what features make it through the streamlining process.

Btw I like XI's furniture but it would be nice if making it was tied to monster kills and crafting like in mh3tri's multiplayer mode cribs.

Having a free company castle or base or whatever would be cool. Kinda like how it was done in L2.

This. Cant believe this thread went 6 pages before this was said haha.

The first 5 pages were from may. A necromancer is among us.

True, but I am really not sure if we will be able to see them with 1.21 since I didn't read about it after the "Future of FFXIV" docs appeared and it wasn't on the planned release list of 1.21. Same about chocobo gear :S
Give me some hype for 1.21, devs

Early February 2012 - Patch 1.21 (and subsequent hotfixes)
⇒Creation of Private Rooms (Inns, etc.) / Hamlet defense PvE content
⇒The job system (7 jobs plus related quests and gear) / Personal chocobo gear
⇒Two new instanced raids

That's what I meant. But in the german version of this doc is written "eventually Creation of Private Rooms" and there were some planned content lists for 1.21 after this doc from October(?) without rooming or chocobo gear on it :/

There are very few excuses where "the game is free" should be used to justify poor quality, low content, or diminished effort, but I think housing may be one of the few legitimate areas where it can be evoked. It's a large group of luxury custom zones. Probably very cost in-effective.

They should add them, and when they do they should be bigger, better, more involved than in XI. But right nowas much as I'd like to see them I'd like to see them not run out of money. You already see the word "cost" in letter to producer 10 what...a dozen times?

Money's tight. The servers are not at their best. Some sacrifices have to be made in the short term.

I have read somewhere recently that they will be called "Estates" which would lead me to believe they will be bigger than homes in XI. I hope so. I miss growing things in my house and making furniture. Furniture alone would be an awsome addition for crafters.

the game is fine and playable without player housing

so it's not necessary and will not get implement

This electronic video-based computer game functions at an acceptable level, further modifications will not be necessary.

Beep.

Lighten up, geez. Maybe player housing could be...fun? :O

Still no mention of player housing.

what do you mean "Still no mention" in the last letter from the Developer they said they're ironing out the final Details for housing.

And in one of the earlier letters they were saying how there might be bonuses related to personal space and how they might go the same route as chocobos and allow you both a personal housing, and an ability to rent a room in one of the city inns.

[Yelta_Sumasu]

They have mentioned some teasers for player housing in 2.0 and I am very excited by that.

I also want to hear more about 2.0 as well as what they listed for 1.21, Creation of Private Rooms (Inns, etc.). Yeah, yeah, its possible they aren't going to implement it but I've not seen a dev post saying they aren't either.

More details in 1.21 please and thank you.
