Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Feyth]

Since we have a lot of round tables in game, it would be nice to have some sort of crescent booth to go with them instead of just putting chairs around them.

Like this example from Final Fantasy VIII's Galbadia Hotel:

We're Warriors of Light, yet, for some reason... we utterly lack personal training equipment. No, training dummies don't count >_>.

Would love to see hanging sandbags, speedbags, leg press, weights, training mats, sparring gear, pull-up bar; things of this nature in the game. Items you can decorate inside, rather than out. Or run a gym. I'm sure the Ironworks could make exercise bikes a thing (or at least draft blueprints for experienced crafters to make and sell to the population. I'm guessing a lack of bikes is more of a world aesthetic choice).

I'd also love to see some tabletop open books for the more scholarly Warriors of Light; stuff that conveys a studious nature (other than books on a floor).

Basically, give us more of a lived-in set of items, rather than a home full of trophies. We have a lot of couches, chairs and desks, but not much in the sense of a home that is a home. We could also do with a round of more interior flowers/plants that don't require an interactive pot or vase. Some of the lived- in items were already placed in, like scattered documents and stacked books, I'd just like a return to focus on some of these kinds of items for future furnishing.

A bug I've noticed with the Blank Glade Partition Wall and subsequent wallpaper:



The wood border and wallpaper are noticeably lighter than the standard house walls/wallpaper. Also the baseboard design is missing on the partition. Both of these make the partitions stick out like sore thumbs when compared to the rest of the wall.

Not sure if this issue also affects other Blank Wall Partitions.

This is not just limited to blank wall partitions.

Rivieria partition on the left, normal wall on the right with the Riviera wallpaper. It's not as notice-able, but it's always been a thing since housing was released. Same for the pillars, like below. Mansion pillar on the left, player-placed pillar on the right. It just seems player placed items have more ambient light cast on them. A feature I rather dislike, personally.

Many Houses have a balcony, but why cant you place furniture on it? Would be nice to place a bank, some chairs or even stacks of firewood on it =D



Pretty please?

Can we first start with being allowed a way on the balcony with out glitching / hopping like mario up things to it

yeah, that too. I mean there is a door inside the house that leads to the balcony, it should be useable to get there.
(btw, i like the jump riddles to get to places like this XD )

As someone who really likes to roleplay as a more scientific/savant character, I dearly, truly, deeply wish we had more alchemy/astrology related props. Star maps like in the Athaeneum Astrologicum or potions (getting recolored elixirs gets old fast), mortars and pestles and other things we see in the Alchemy Guild in Ul'dah. It is hard to make a laboratory looks... like a laboratory without this kind of props to decorate.

I also wish there was more Gubal Library decorations, like those green round lantern things we find in the dungeon in the second boss arena...

[Taebok]

Can we please get more carpets?
Not rugs, carpets.
Like the Manor Flooring.
Everything else is tiles and tiles are cold on my feet when I get up in the morning.

would be great

Can we get tatami mats in different colors? Like wheat yellow for example.

Also, with Shirogane housing being the new in thing, please let us have floor chairs too!

And futon bed! (as a tabletop item please)

So I actually originally thought about this over on the outdoor limits thread but it is worth repeating here. What about pathways as a decore item that equips to the house, similar to a chimney or awning? There would be a basic one for each house (Riviera, Oasis, Glade, Hingan) and maybe like two or three general ones that could be swapped instead?

This would help ease the item limit for those of us who just want a neat path across the yard but doesn't force itself on those who want something that doesn't just go from edge of yard to front door.

Example, maybe a nice walkway of crushed white gravel for Riviera, one edged with flowers or small mossy stones for Glade, a rich carpet for Oasis, and maybe some pristine tiles for Hingan?
