Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

Upping the limit would be wonderful. I slammed right into it before I got to finish my basement up.

I would also love to see the Heavensward Vistas available for the frames, hoping to see that in a later patch.

Weapon racks would be lovely--I really want to hang the Dual Haken up.

Mannequins for armor and stuff.

I need a nature themed mail box.

My yard is more or less a flower garden. The only available mail boxes stick out like a sore thumb.

I'd like a mail box that has moss on the top, and vines growing on the pole part. Maybe some flowers that have a slight glow. If a moogle has to be on the mailbox for lore reasons, maybe add a tiny moogle, or a moogle pom.

I'd still love something like this.

While I love the cute and funny Moogle, Chocobo, and Paissa houses, could we maybe see more serious houses? Like maybe we can have an Ishgardian Brume house and an Ishgardian Pillar house, or maybe a house that looks like a fort or fortress?

Yes, more serious themes would be great.

How about a skin in the style of Haukke Manor? The exterior is really lovely (apart from the voidsent and the cages), and I'd love it if we had Haukke inspired topiary items for the garden to match.

Just thought of another cool one!

How about those maps of the Sea of Clouds Leofard has hanging up/on the table?

I don't know if this has been asked for before. Maybe there is something already in game I haven't found yet in which case please tell me! A futon style bed would be awesome!

I really want those glowing mushrooms that are in the Sylphlands. More glowing plants in general is good (yes, I know mushrooms aren't actually plants). Maybe some tall glowing grass. And glowing trees. Or just some tall trees with green leaves.

Wanted to echo some earlier posts from up-thread:

(cross-posted from this thread)

Especially now that we have the beautiful new cherry blossom trees, it seems a shame that the designer's hard work can only be appreciated for a few days before the plant withers. (Even the apple and orange trees, or the exotic-looking shard plants, are worthy of appreciation in my opinion -- so this could possibly apply to all plants.)

My suggestion is for an option that can be chosen for fully-grown plants in flowerpots that would:

• Make the plant unharvestable (it can only be removed)
• Remove the "ready for harvest" sparkle animation
• Allow the plant to persist indefinitely, as long as it is tended daily
• ...and possibly also fertilized on some schedule? (Daily, weekly?)

This way we can appreciate the devs' wonderful work for much longer!


It's fascinating to look through this thread and see how many suggestions from the earlier pages have been implemented. As someone who came to the game late, it makes me feel very thankful!

Couple of things, and these may have been said before, but...

I would love more tall trees! I ADORE the autumn trees (I'm now up to 6 in a small yard, and about to buy #7), but while the maple is beautiful, it's just so darn short...especially compared to my Elezen stature. I'd love more trees at the height of the ginkgo! They're so much easier to use than the kinds that look like they'd clothesline me as I walk through my yard.

I'd also love to see the leaf piles layer with the ponds. I wanted some leaves at the bottom of my ponds, but they layer UNDER the pond, so you can't see them at all. I think a layer of leaves at the bottom of the pond would be really beautiful.

I also dream of a koi pond.

I'm sure its been mentioned before, but a way to remove the pillars every three inches along the walls would be fantastic. Or being able to customize them with one of the crafted/event pillars would be at least better than what we have now.

More items! More more more items! My mansion has the entire basement walled off so I could make the rest of the house look like an actual house instead of just a place with a few random pieces of furniture here and there.

I'd like to be able to add another aquarium to my mansion as well. Maybe limit it to 1 tier 4 per estate only so we can use the smaller tanks to decorate bedrooms/library/den areas?

Echoing the above suggestion: A way to 'freeze' or stop a plant in a flower pot from wilting would be lovely. The new cherry blossom trees are so pretty fully bloomed but they wilt and die so quickly.

More variety of items would be nice too. I would love to see some new potted flowers/plants. Or give us the ability to dye things like the Potted Azaela plant. More variety of lots of items honestly, more paintings that aren't tinted brown because of the sightseeing log. ><

Also, theres a weird bug where if you have too many items you can interact with in a house, some of them will just glitch out and disappear if you move away from them. Fixing that would be lovely.

+1 to the non wilting plants idea and also to add it for outdoors. I would love to have the violas in my garden.

Also can we have more sofa/armchair colours? I know the manor is dyeable but the style is wrong for what I want. I realise making everything dyeable would be a ridiculous amount of work but would it be too hard to add say the basic styles in a couple of extra colours? Even if they do a black version and a white or cream version it would help.
