Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

It seems that the design of XIV is to allow the game to be playable by both casuals and hard-core gamers alike. If you add the ability to have one or two gardening pots in Personal Chambers, it'll allow more casual players to be able to take part in gardening yet still leave owning a personal house viable for the gardening plot of land. What do you think?

Possibility for an FC to drop an item as a gift to another FC when visiting their house.

I know we can send an item via mog to someone in the FC but it's not same as giving it as a gift to all members that could see a note in the FC log that a gift was made by another FC.

You forgot something.

-Please allow us to share a personal house with at least one other person, whether it be marriage partner, or someone we pick.

I am sure several people have said it already in here but I will say it again. Personal housing needs private chambers and the ability to set permissions (for things like private chambers, house entry, chocobo stabling). If I am going to spend 5 mil for a small it should have everything a FC house has since it's the same price (not complaining about the price here just stating that it needs to have everything you're paying for included). Everyone's talking about the marriage system that will eventually be implemented like in FFXI, all those players will be pissed if they don't have personal housing permissions. Also it'd be nice to have something like an FC chest for personal housing to store stuff in.

Has anyone suggest couch-specific emote interaction? My personal room doesn't have space for a bed so I'd like to /doze on my Vortex couch. Actually, let's add high back chairs to the list of /doze furniture as well.

For a small private house, there's a decent amount of indoor furnishings, but for outdoors, you have huge amounts of space and only 20 slots to fill it.Everywhere I go the yards of most houses look sparse, and I thought it was because they were still building.

While its true most people will never need 20 tables and benches or lamps, Things like Trees, Bushes, and flowers really shouldn't count against that total. I suggest the Outdoors have another 12 or so slots but specifically for Plants (32 total instead of 20), or at least 4 more slots (24 instead of 20).

I think there needs to be more yard in general. Its hard to get camera angles when in the yard, even in mansion sized houses.

On a completely different topic, more wall mounted furnishings in general. Theres just not much to choose from at the moment, and it seems like everyones got the same things on their walls.

So here's the idea. You have these tiny spaces you can see little windows in for the roof on some buildings, and others, like the wood roof for small houses, you can walk around on like a castle tower.
But you can't put anything up there.

I was thinking this would be a great "storage room" thing you could buy access to. Basically a small hatch entrance exit that you buy from the housing vender, but it would unlock say, 10-20 more slots where you could place stuff you don't need out, or if you have curious visitors or people who jump on open roofs, perhaps something like a skyscraper style garden. This would be a basic upgrade you could buy for all houses, perhaps 100k for small, 250k for medium, and 500k for mansion.

Ok, so you have the regular Armoire, which stores rare/unique stuff on a limited list, but it has a max that is basically already filled. But then you have this tall closet thing like a Serpent Armoire, right? and it just sits there, doing nothing.

But what if it had a very specific use, like the Armoire, but instead of storing things like a Luminary Pickaxe or Class Ring, it stored Company and Wolf Gear? Things like Direwolf Robes, Serpent Elite's Knives, and so forth, with the same Restrictions against dyes, spirit bonding, and repairs for Armoire being in place, to conserve memory?

People with Houses are always looking for more Closet Space.
