Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

With the addition of the 'official' lofts it'd be great if we could get all items to use counter placement. Doesn't have to be immediate just a few items converted every patch would be fine by me.

The other change I'd like would be to allow placement of furnishings anywhere in the house. I.e. not having to use a certain storage function to place things close to walls or on the stairs.

I've been experimenting with interior walls and floorings lately, and would really love to have a flooring in the same grey coloring as the masonwork flooring, but one that looks more clean and polished; the current one makes the floor look really dingy and grimy lol I'm wanting to go for a more castle or mansion look for the interior.

i would love to see fancy apartments that come in “medium” or “mansion” sizes. that way EVERYONE can have the size they want. only downside is no outdoors area to decorate or if certain people actually enjoy seeing their neighbours.

I have a suggestion to fix this less than ideal system of buying houses.

Players could apply to buy houses at the land, creating a list of players who are interested.
Then at a scheduled time of the day, have all the players meet in one location and the people that do show up roll for the house.

That way it's fair and doesn't waste people's time of day hoping they get lucky in a crowd of people clicking one time out of the 4-22 hours they had to wait for.

Can we have Vendor/Mender/Melder functions on Retainer so we can use our own Retainers on display inside the house instead of outside?

I just bought and build my first house but I hit some snags already.
Probably this issues have been posted already but here they are:

- Staying in the house at log off, logging on outside of the house is so disappointing ( and no I'm not a sleepwalker :P)
- Allow your alts in the house. I pay standard sub so I can have alts on the same server they should be allow/tenant in without guest function on.
- Allow house rotation / repositioning. I have such a nice view but more than half gets blocked by the said house.
- Allow more garden space, put a inventory penalty or something but give it more. 8 slots are not enough. The amount of seeds available is staggering, it is a shame you are so limited ( at least at cottage level).

How about some outdoor kitchenettes, grills, stoves, and so forth?

Housing is kind of mess still. Yes there are more wards but there are not enough for the number of people on a server. Yes houses are a comodity and what not, you installed timers to prevent people from selling houses for Gil. However, people are just going onto websites like Reddit to create a house selling market. They are charging upwards of like 50 million for a medium just to relocate, not for the plot itself cause there is no chance you will get it because of the timer. People are also selling their FCs that have housing and what not.

A great Idea would be instanced housing in the form of Airships. Small, Medium, and Large airships. They will be a bit more pricy than housing because hey they are airships, but its a goal for a person or an FC to shoot for. We already see something similiar to my Idea in the form of The Prima Vista in the return to Ivalice raid. But also what if they were like Balamb Garden from FF8? There could be a grassy platform like the thousand sunny from one piece where you can set outdoor furniture items and have a nice sky view of a certain ward.

The cool Idea about this is that airships could have like a mobile base kind of feel for some RP FCs. Now the one interesting idea I have about airships would be the ability to go onto the flight deck and move your airship to existing housing areas. Just like how in Kugane there is a airship platform to get on The Prima Vista, you could have such in each of the existing housing areas so...you could technically visit each of the housing areas and say stop by a friends house on the ground for coffee or whatever. The important thing to take away from this is that anyone can aquire an airship if they put forth the effort and they are not limited to what in game plots there are.

Can we get an actual dining table that can fit enough food items for 4 people? The only really large tables are really low to the ground/seem more like stages or something. Would be nice to see something like the glade dining table/round tables, just scaled up slightly to be wider/larger (although not really taller). We have so many food items in the game, some of which very large in terms of surface coverage, and not a whole lot of tables to fit them on, with out Frankensteining a table together with multiple tables to make something big enough to fit a set of meals for more than one person.

[Nyx_Nemhain]

@Aries Oh I totally agree! The ones available are long, but not wide; I have mine set for one person on either end, but would love to have it set for four people. Right now I just have a candelabra in the middle, but it still looks crowded for two.
