Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Dustytome]

Mannequin's so we can display sets of gear already! That and plaques that we can mount weapons too ^o^!

And none of that only one per estate silliness please ;_;

Those are on the way some time in the expansion.

This has likely been said already, but I'm going to throw it out there, just in case: koi ponds. We are heading into an Asian-inspired expansion, and we need koi ponds.

I love the ponds we have now, but they are SO PLAIN. Sure, you can set rocks and bloodblossoms and such into them so they don't look SO bare, but I would love some little fish swimming about.

I have a SIMPLE idea that will greatly expand yard variety while revitalizing indoor gardens, giving apartment and room dwellers something to profit from.

Violas, oldroses, and cherry blossoms.

Five (for example) of the same color and type + growth formula = 27 different flower plots. For example, red viola plot, black oldrose plot.

Cherry blossoms obviously don't grow in plot form, but perhaps you could create a flower garland divider type of furnishing.

As for models - easy! You already have something that looks viola-like in Idyllshire, just recolor the texture. The red flowers on the left below. The purple bushes could make a passable rosebush with minor model modifications. And the daffodils vaguely resemble cherry blossom petals and could be used as a basis for a flower garland.

Here are some requests for outdoor furnishings that are already in game - so there'd be minimal dev time, no new models to create. I'll provide locations for ease of locating the bgparts

First, two trees!

An orange tree as seen in Idyllshire - the northern part, near the tiered farmland.


A desert/succulent style tree as seen in Eastern Thanalan - Southwestern area, near the Desert Seedling botany node


Next - some water plants for display in small or large garden ponds. As seen in East Shroud off the side of the bridge near the Sanctum of the Twelve.


This directional path light is really nice - I would love a path light that actually lights the path you're meant to walk, instead of being omnidirectional. As seen in South Shroud near the exit to Central Shroud.


How about some outdoor shelving for your gardens! As seen in Idyllshire - the northern part, near the tiered farmland.


And finally, for those who want to control their yards' atmosphere - a colored-fire torch! Bonus points if we can dye the flame, but the default purple as seen in Palace of the Dead floor 80-110 is alright too.

I would just like to have a house. We have the Gil. Balmung doesn't have a single plot left of any size in any ward.

Still an issue, two years later. (The quoted post is from 2015)

With the Carbunkle house coming, I really have a need for more bunkle stuff to make the theme inndors as well.

What I would love to see is a 3 seater sofa, pillars, wall lights, ceiling light, plushies for decoration purposes, and probably many other things. Would just love a properly bunkle themed house fully

Sinks and toilets please

Couple things I'd really like to see for housing:

Ability to make a worn dirt path from the gate to your front door.

Add a mini-game for something to do outside with friends. I suggest bag toss (cornhole). Let me practice by myself, but also play against another PC or in teams 2v2. Don't even need the rewards, just something fun and social to do outside. http://www.bagtoss.com/how-to/how-to-play-cornhole

Is there a compilation of what's being added yet?

Also, are they adding new wards to current house zones?

I've put what I could find here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...95-4.0-Housing

No mention of additional wards thus far.
