Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Atoli]

Can we please have outdoor recipes for gourmets?
It would be great to be able to have breakfast out in the garden, or to put up a bowl full of seeds for the little birdies
Just have some snacks on the garden table of the FC for when some members get home late at night, or having a set of sake cups to enjoy the cherry blossoms with, and so on.

It would also help to let Gourmets participate more in housing. Currently, they have WAY less recipes than any other class on that topic.

Here a couple ideas I had, not sure if they have been suggested so far:

- add a "Skywatcher" NPC to the housing areas
- make interior walls dyeable
- add this amazing tree/lamp (that is currently used in the Heavensturn event) to outdoor furnishings:

Since we already have laundry pole, laundry basket would be nice to have for outside furniture.

I already wrote it once I think but can we private house owner please get the same functions as a FC house? At least let us buy more rooms. I really love my small mist house but there are so many nice housing items that a small one is not enough. We pay the same price but at the same time we cant even buy more rooms. Maybe make it 500k for each room and maybe limit the amount of rooms (would be nice if there is no limit ) but this would give us more space for decoration. You could even make it that house mates could buy their own too.

Since the private housing is not much different than the fc one, this should be not that complicated. I know that there will be arguments like "server space" but since you can already do that with a fc house I cant really see that since any house can be bought by a fc, so their servers should be able to handle this.

It would be nice if the partitions could have the same wallpaper as the room they're in. It just looks wonky when 3 walls of a room (with 1 wall as a partition) have one wallpaper and then the fourth wall has another wallpaper that you can't change.

Yeah, I mean...realistically most players aren't going to be able to afford a medium or large house. Being able to build up a small home (by adding additional floors underground) would be neat.

I was just lost in the see also section of Wikipedia the other day and stumbled across this link on Salmagundi sometimes abbreviated as salmi. This would be such a neat food item for tables in FFXIV. Maybe it's a Limsan Lominsan dish since it also seems to be related to food served on pirate ships. Here's a link to a picture of what I'm thinking of in particular and lots more pics can be found on a Google image search. I'd use it as a replacement for the Stuffed Dodo platter during certain festivals of the year.

I can't help noticing how lacking the game is about painting. We've got portraits, yes, and in spades, but I'd really love actual landscape paintings for a change, or maybe even illustrations.

We already have some in the game, too. I would love to see them added as housing items:







You wouldn't even need to make any new art. FFXIV has an abundance of beautiful and stunning concept art that would look lovely in my living room. The fan kit and the concept arts featured in the game's artbooks would be great candidates. Wouldn't you like to see this illustration framed? Or this one or this one? We sure aren't starving for beautiful art with FFXIV, let us make our own personal art gallery!

Oh god yes! I would kill for large paintings that weren't portraits. Every house in the game has half a dozen portraits because they're currently the only way to fill up tons of empty wall space.
