Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Atoli]

I'm wondering what our Heros do, when they are wake up at night and are missing something important in the house.

I don't know what you are talking about, what are we missing? D:

Obligatory :
- copy rift to allow for player design, creativity and 100% unique creations would add a much much needed depth to housing.
- need to be allowed to manipulate all furniture completely, bury it, suspend it, recolor it, RESCALE it etc
- need instanced housing
- need to double all item limits for all house sizes
- give access to all in game textures rock, snow, grass, water etc to allow customization of yards 100%
- lighting adjustments/floor not at set amount by game ...but a slider scale to adjust from any # between 0-100
- remove the slap on the hand punishment of furniture destruction when removed..just ridiculous
- remove limit of "1 item/plot" on any furniture that is just for visual pleasure (not gardens for example)
- add in many visual effects we can add to any outdoor or indoor item: items: ie/ glow effects, spotlight effects , sparkle effect ...etc

its endless ..many older games have surpassed ffxiv 5 fold, in fun and player creativity...would be nice for ffxiv to at least match those asap.

I really wish they'd make personal and FC houses one per account (one of each tops to clarify). That would go a long way towards helping matters alongside the idle house timer.

May have been mentioned, but almost 50 pages would be a bit to dig through, and I posted it in another thread. BUT, what would be nice is being able to buy or craft "musical" type furniture such as a record player or jukebox in order to change what background music plays in your house. Even if it's already recorded stuff that's in the game, it'd be nice to switch it up a bit, and it'd be another area to explore in future updates.

You only had to go one page back:

That is already coming, Yoshi and Soken have stated it's actually going to be a furnishing item originally from FFXI called an 'orchestrion' and it probably coming sometime after 3.2 or thereabouts. I posted the most recent info on the subject that I'm aware of in another thread which covers this in more detail. Either way, it's already planned.

On that topic, when the Orchestrion is added, please, please SE, please allow us to select tunes from the entire version 1.0 OST including the currently 'missing' tunes like Navigator's Glory and Piece of Mind, as they're some of my favourite FFXIV tracks and I miss hearing them in the game.

Really looking forward to that jukebox for a long time now. I feel like they will implement millions of different disk grades just to annoy our inventory space again.

Turning the plot grass into a snowfield would have been great for this event.

They should also let us buy old furniture from the calamity salvager if you have the event title.

Also, I hope they will implement an outside pool someday

I wouldn't mind having to collect tracts like random drops from raids, or gifts from special events that might be fun. Just so long as it's an item that is removed from your inventory but accessible forever after that, such the way chocobo barding or TT cards are made.

Final Fantasy XI had a feature in which you could "freeze" plants while they were growing, to have them double up as decorations. They'd stop growing and they wouldn't wither, you could even do this when they were ready to harvest and had that nice glow to them.

I would like this feature. You know, for when I'm done growing hundreds of Blood Peppers and those garden plots go back to just being empty space...

EDIT:

Improving on the existing Display Stand furniture, could we have a version which we can interact with? I very much want to have a "trophy room" sort of thing, and minions/mounts are a perfect way to implement that. Interact with the Display Stand, it pops up the minion/mount guide, and you can select a minion/mount to be displayed on it. Perfect.

I'd still want actual trophies, like those miniatures we have for Magitek/Odin/etc., you really need to expand that to include all Primals and notable bosses (Fenrir/Diabolos/etc.), but having the Display Stand showcasing minions/mounts would be really neat.

A few ideas that may have been brought up already:

- I'd like to see a few 'mirror' items. Both the sort that stand upright and those that can be placed upon a wall. They don't necessarily need to have an advanced reflection system but that would be pretty neat!

- Small water fountains/features. The sort that can be placed on the floor and the sort that can protrude from a wall. A lot of the fountains available right now are pretty huge - so having some smaller options for when space is tight would be pretty neat.

- Garlean furniture items. Perhaps one of those alarums that can be found in Castrum Meridianum/Keeper of the Lake (complete with the neat sound effect) and some inactive magitek reapers?

It would be nice to change the style of the door that leads to the company workshop. My FC is holding off on applying wallpaper to our home just because nothing seems to really match the door outside of the riviera wall. I'd also like a way to have multiple floor styles across the same floor, my FC has split the top floor into two smaller floors via partitions and it'd be great if I could have multiple styles to account for that.
