Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[MomoCakes]

Figured I would share my idea here as well ^^/

I was wondering if it is possible to lift the Tub restriction for houses, for example I can have one of each tub in my house or even in my personal room. However I cannot have two or more of the same tub in the house or space.

I was wondering the reasoning of this or if it is possible to remove this restriction if it is not to much trouble. I would like to keep my bath area "uniform" if that makes sense in not having mix matched baths. \^^/ ty for your time in reading and considering this m(._.)m

Adding on top of that, can we have a smaller, one person tub please? Currently it's like all tub are designed for roe to use or to attract them. :/

For refrence this is what I am meaning ^_^

I'll try and keep this short;

Entertainer Permits - Three jump to mind; Jugglers (as seen in Gold Saucer), Dancers (as seen in Ul'dah), and Bards. Unlike the current permits, we don't need to interact with these when placed (since they don't sell/repair anything), I think that would give you more freedom to have them interact with stuff, like actually using chairs and stuff. Would make houses feel more lively, I'm sure others could think of other kinda of entertainers we could place.

Visitors Permits - Same sort of thing as above... I've seen various story relevant NPCs hanging around various parts of Eorzea, why not my house too? Would make them feel more connected to the world/story. They wouldn't be around all the time, they'd occasionally visit like the NPCs that occasionally visit Rowena's bar in Revenant's Toll. Obviously if you have a story conflict they wouldn't show up for you at all, but why not have Gerolt come check out my forge? I've seen the Redbills visit the Inn in Ishgard, why wouldn't they stop by my house too? Could even have them walking between houses, would give some reason to walk around the wards more... Palace of the Dead kinda makes this redundant, but Ghost Edda would be perfect for a spoopy house.

Troupe Stage - I think this needs to change, or the way placed items needs to... It's a table, yet most of what I'd want to place on it, I can't... A rug? Nope. The description of it suggests it could be used for concerts, yet you cannot place any of the manor instruments on it. What I really want to use it for though;

Mannequins - Failing the above, please make these tabletop items... I put a Troupe Stage in my workshop specifically to put display mannequins on it, gonna be crushed when I inevitable cannot... Also let me place more than one...

More clutter themed furniture - Well, we're getting double the limit on furniture, but I'd still like to see stuff like weapon racks, stacks of crates (all the pieces are there for me to do this myself (well, I'd like so sacks too) but again, can't stack them because of how tables/tabletop stuff works) and so on... Stuff like the Riviera Garden Table set too...

Morning Glories Plot - So, this annoys me... I want to push this right up against the wall of my house, yet I can't... For some reason, the "middle" of the furniture is right at the back of it, it needs to be moved to the actual middle... I'll try and get a screenshot showing what I mean some time, it really irritates me...

Retainer/Crystal Bell - Can this be updated to display where the NPCs will stand? I know they kinda pop in in relation to where you are, but I like the idea of putting these in counters... Getting tired of Jandelaine popping into counters... Make them static pls.

Indoor PvP Duels - Same deal as with Triple Triad I imagine... I built a Dojo, I'd like to use it... Striking Dummies indoors wouldn't go a miss either... Thinking about it;

More interchangeability between indoor and outdoor furniture - There are quite a few pieces of furniture if think would look better indoors or outdoors... That T-Rex statue for example...

Could we please have more variety in garden plots?

Currently any serious gardener will get the 8-slot garden for every house. However the scarecrow in the middle looks very strange with some decor. I'd like to see more types of 8-plot gardens.

Alternatively, to encourage the use of other gardens besides 8-plot types, allow us to select a base soil type for 6-plot or 4-plot gardens. For example a 4-plot garden could be purchased in Shroud, La Noscean, or Thanalan styles, with a bonus of having a base soil type of grade 1 (6-plot) or 2 (4-plot) soil in their respective type unless another type is used. So for instance I could buy a Small Shroud garden plot for crystal farming, and a Medium Thanalan garden plot for making minions.

Could we please have more variety in garden plots? ....

Alternatively, make all the garden plots have different perks. Such as the smallest having a higher yield, the medium having higher cross-breeding possibility, the large having a higher chance of HQ items, etc. As it stands now, there's really absolutely no reason for anyone to not use the largest garden available, but making each garden have pros and cons would encourage people to experiment with the different ones we already have.

Opportunity to win or buy a large house or apartment within the Gold Saucer. Great preference for a house.

This housing could be exclusive since it would be subject to different criteria / restrictions not exhaustive:

• Can not be sold or given away so would be personal and guaranteed to the player owning it;
• The land and the construction could have unique specificities only for this housing.

This property would be available on:

• Either by purchasing with MGP from the Gold Saucer attendant or another special NPC (such as the housindg merchant) at Gold Saucer and only there.
• Either as a reward for an achievement (long to realize) or a multi-step quest linked to the Gold Saucer.

For more détails, look there.

Sorry if its been asked before, but does anyone know (I can't find anything on Google for the lift of me, although it might be just because its not confirmed yet) if we have to pay for the new plot too? I mean the house moving service they have mentioned. E.g. I have a small plot in Mist, if I wanted a medium plot in shirogane would I have to outright buy the new plot OR pay the difference and move/lose the small plot? If I found a medium plot in the meantime and bought it would I then just be able to move to shirogane without paying again? Since I would be losing the other plot? I'm guessing the safest bet is to just save the money for when shirogane opens but would be good to know!

[Alien_Gamer]

They haven't mentioned prices yet. I'm expecting to pay full price then go to the caretaker to get a refund for your old plot that your relinquished at 80% of value.

[Acilith]

I'm pretty sure you pay for the new plot and the old plot gil is lost, you do not get it back.
