Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[JadeOuroboros]

Every region has its own unique fireplace and kitchen set, recently we was given the Shroud version of the kitchen furnishings, weirdly named Manor Oven and Manor Counter... and way back it was the Ishgard fireplace we got in the name of Manor Fireplace.

So where I'm going with this is obvious, can we please have the other region unique kitchen stuff and fireplaces please! And please note, for some reason counter is actually sink, at least in terms of what the Manor Counter claims. The little tables that are unique to each region that match the oven and counter would be nice, too.

Also, if it's not too much to ask, can we get an actual counter like those found throughout each region, that isn't L-shaped please?

Where did you get that furnace in the last photo? I'd like it!

All the items in AstralKaos's post are items they found out in the open world that they would like to have as furniture.

[SokiYagami]

On top of all that's already been listed, I'd also love to request for:

1. Grid lines

2. XY coordinates for furniture

3. Ability to lock X or Y coordinates of the furniture so it's easier to place multiple furniture in a row/column

4. Ability to toggle the target ring (between the current one and the omni-directional one e.g sephirot) of training dummy with a "face" such as Faust training dummy.

As of now it's pretty inconvenient to place it by a wall/edge and lock out the rear, rendering skills like Trick Attack useless. However, if I place it too far from the wall or facing the wall, it would look silly.

5. Ability to purchase personal chamber for personal housing.

I don't mind paying another 300k for it. Hell, I'm even fine if I can only pick a personal chamber in personal housing or fc housing. It also helps to act as a band aid to artificially increase the item limit while SE is working on the increase, and it would help even more now that house sharing is a thing.

6. Dyeable Lupin plots, or in a couple more different colors.

[Xenheart]

Personally some things I would like:
1. Increased item limits for large houses (400 or more limit inside) (100 limit outside)
2. Ability to use certain furniture inside or out (eg: striking dummy inside, or a bathtub outside for a hot tub.)
3. Ability to have higher fences and a gate with the ability to lock people out of the yard.
4. Different music for each housing area.(Goblet, mist, lavender beds) (Bonus if day/night changes it too)
5. More npcs wandering the wards.
6. Grand company house style glamours.
7. Ability to change the layout on the inside of houses. (perhaps even the ability to place walls/doors/staircases/windows)
8. Better access to rooftop and balcony. (Perhaps even a rooftop terrace to decorate.)
9. Ability to logout in a bed similar to the inn.
10. Ability to change the direction the house faces.
11. In the expansion perhaps an indoor pool to swim in.

I'd really like to see slightly increased furniture limits across the board. It's very hard to make small gardens work with just 20 slots for instance, even 5-10 more slots would be a huge boon.

Greetings,

I bring with me some housing-related updates!

- Also something like a bridge surrounded by a pond would be very pretty.

You'll be happy to hear that we're currently planning to add an oriental style red bridge along with a pond to go with it in Patch 3.3!

- More eastern/oriental housing glamours in general.

A player on the Japanese forums submitted the following suggestion as part of an oriental themed outdoor furnishing:

We're planning to implement something similar to this in Patch 3.3. It'll be possible to dye the roofing as well.

- add a "Skywatcher" NPC to the housing areas

We'll consider adding a Skywatcher NPC to each of the housing wards.

Additionally, we have received requests to be able to have individual food items instead of the sets of food. For example, drinks, soups, and cakes as separate food furnishing items, so you can enjoy combining them as you like to decorate your homes.

While some of you may already know this, consuming all the food available from the current food furnishing items will leave you with an empty plate, which has generated a good amount of requests for plates as furnishings. We'll see if something like this can be added in the future.

Thanks again for posting your suggestions, and don't forget to keep posting any others ideas, or furnishings you find throughout Eorzea which you would like to add to your house!

That is if we get enough room to unfold our combination creativity! Any word on more item slots for houses by chance?

[Quintalian]

This is great news! My retainer has been doing business from under the Crimson Felt Mat's umbrella for some time now, wanting for proper shelter. I even suggested a Deluxe Retainer Counter with a canopy some time ago, so if they can be placed under the roof of this item, I'll be very satisfied.

No word on being able to move/transfer houses, or at the very least save airship/workshop process to the FC rather than a house?

[Beckett]

Thanks for the updates, Zhexos! Can't wait for the new furnishings.

They've said their working on a move feature, but we'll probably have to wait until official patch notes before we get concrete info. It might not even be in 3.3. As far as I know, the only confirmed new housing feature for 3.3 is the Apartments.
