An Open Letter to Yoshida-san: What can I do with a house?

[Aldora]

Crafting station? Is that a specific thing they've mentioned somewhere? You can just craft anywhere inside the house.

This is from the letter of the producer live part ix:

1:52:17
Q: What type of facilities will we have access to within a housing area other than the market board and retainer?
A: First, you can have a crafting workshop in your house to be used by any crafters in your free company. Also, in the event you need a large amount of low level materials for crafting, we're planning to make it possible to place NPCs in your house that would sell these materials. We'll be adding on to features such as this over time.

1:53:09
Q: What are the advantages of making things in your underground workshop?
A: You'll be able to build airships and go adventuring with them. We were stuck on deciding whether to go with boats or airships, but we decided to go with airships first. We'd also like to do boats, but for now crafters will be able to gather together and build airships in these underground workshops. We'd like to introduce this before the first expansion.

Ah, forgot about that. Thanks.

Build airships and go adventuring? How does one adventure in an world of instances....Enjoying the game but I think that's funny.

Yeah, that's... really puzzling.

To build an airship... to go where?

[Percyphanie]

Airship... maybe a waste of time to elitists who only care about endgame. But... there are crafters who would find building one to be fun... even if it doesn't go anywhere or do anything.

Large plots simply offer more space to put furniture. That is the only bonus. All other features are identical between the three houses. Past that your house is what you and your FC make it to be. Try to have fun.

And you are getting this information from where?
Small houses don't have a basement... so that would tend to indicate that they will not have a crafting area to build airships and such later on in the game. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Travisdy]

Other than placing furniture and bragging rights... do houses offer any in-game benefits at all right now? I understand that NPC shops, crafting workstations, and building airships are all possible things for the future. What exists right now?

[Gilthas]

It would make zero sense for Small houses to not give FCs the same benefits as Large houses, so I assume that any housing content being planned will be available for both large and small houses.

But hey, you never know.

[Kirosuu]

small house.....is very very very small
of medium and large got second floor and underground floor with different just size
small house is like a box.....maybe like a small room in hotel/motel
so i doubt small house will get future house function
