Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[TohruHonda]

Miniature fishing ponds that can be placed on your front lawn.

Sweet. Any housing QoL Improvements coming?

Plenty of good ideas like displaying degree-angle & permitting the wall-supports & windows to be moved.

But especially, being able to 'flip' an item so you can place L-shaped items back to back (looking at you Oasis Couches...).

Or allowing us to snap to half-grid for those odd-wide pieces to be centered exactly proper.

I've been thinking about what I'd love to see added to houses and I remember my favorite mog house decoration from FFXI: My First Magic Kit.

I would love to see My First Conjury/Thaumaturgy/Arcanima Kits added to the game as decorations.

Oh oh, didn't even think about posting this before.

I'd really love it if they would make it so more stuff was able to be interacted with in the house.

Specifically things like the telescope or the bookcase. The night sky ingame is absolutely beautiful. It'd be wonderful if we could use the telescope furnishing or something to get a closer more detailed look at Eorzea's stunning night sky.

Probably already been said, but several servers could use new FC housing wards. Balmung barely has anything left, in any city state, and my FC and I are considering leaving just to have an option for FC housing. It would be nice to stay on such a populated server where resources aren't nearly as limited as they are on some of the servers we're having to consider moving to, but this is a feature of the game that my small contingent of friends and I have wanted to take part in.

The situation is the same on Hyperion. There are a handful of larges left, as well as a few smalls, but absolutely no mediums. Choices are extremely limited. I'm even more concerned with the fact that we are a high population server, and thus this may not be a huge priority for SE because most servers aren't really full yet. Another concern I have is about the pricing of the houses in the new wards. Will they be the original prices (before any devaluation)? If so, that's pretty rough.

Interior:
Half height partitions
Quarter height pillars (to finish up a short wall or counter with ability to put objects on top like a pedestal, but in the style of Oasis, Riviera, and Glade pillars)
Ability to move all furniture flush against the walls (but especially fireplaces, pillars and counters)
Prompt while placing down Oasis, Riviera, and Glade partitions to take on the appearance of existing wallpaper.
Option to move or add ceiling lights
Bunk beds for the kids
Choco clocks (or would they be called Kweh-kweh clocks?)
Grandfather clocks
Elemental crystal chandeliers
Wooden chairs and dining tables with no metal accents
Smaller round dining tables

Exterior:
Birdbath or small stone fountain
Privacy trees or bushes that are in a row that count as one furnishing
Stone path to place on lawn like rugs
Lawn options like how you can change the floors inside

Misc:
Furniture/exterior surfaces painted with the appearance of more than one coat (no base color showing through, and more accurate coloring)
Metallic paint
Wood stains (for when you want the wood grain to show through)

I'm sure there is more, but this is all I can come up with for now.

Greetings,

As I mentioned the other day, the team is working on adding food items that you can decorate your house with. They are planning to add furnishings that give a buff for a set number of times and have a limited number of charges.

With that said, regardless of whether or not the furnishings have a limitation, we’re looking to add a variety of furnishings that you can obtain a buff from by interacting with them, so please let us know your ideas for the types of furnishings and buffs you’d like to see!

How about a magic doorway that takes us back to the end of the 1.0 version of the game where things were more fun and the players weren't all segregated into static groups.
