Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Kusari-chan]

Things I'd like to see them implement for housing:

• Hammock: Craft-able or purchasable from housing vendor, either tied between two trees or on a stand so you can 'tie' it to a support of your choosing (via overlay)
• Fishing pond: would supply a type or types of fish. Would be useful for raising fish like finger shrimps and rothlyt oysters for making bouillabaisse, and other things like that.
• Animations for using crafting benches. All my crafts are maxed, but for immersion's sake, I'd love to 'act' like I was using my cooking stove.
• New /doze animations for beds, and potentially hammocks (crosses fingers). Maybe implement the inn animations and make beds usable for logging out/exiting the game.
• Interchangeable 'scarecrow' for large gardens. I kind of want to play my aetheryte or a path light in the middle of the garden patch, just for something different.
• Rugs, wall-mounted, or table-top items that don't take up allowances once placed. Especially unique things that will be destroyed once removed. Pretty difficult to implement, I know, but since they haven't upped the item allowances for Mansions, there's a lot of empty floor, wall, and usable surface space that I'd love to see filled.

Why do we keep getting new items and no new space?

[Fantasy2Devil]

would it be possible to buy a house for 2 people in a near futur? i mean like a for married couple could buy a house & have the same rights on it.

copy Rift dimensions...period

from massive space, to the UI, , offering many many textured building blocks of varying shapes (not all premade finished furniture)
full complete control of everything

in a nutshell that is what I would like and expect from a new mmo like ffxiv.
se always thinks small + expensive

I am very happy they have a form of housing!! but it could and should in 2015 especially be far more complex , engaging and allow for player creativity, as of right now its totally simple and restricting

So I decided my Private Room will be an office, and split it up with a partition to have a nice little reception area.

Looks great, except the ceiling light is stuck in the partition and the lighting just looks bad as a result... Could we either remove ceiling lights completely (Emperor's New Ceiling Light?), or let us move fixtures?

Also my office will not be complete without a portrait of Raya-O-Senna; Make it happen. Expanding on that it would be nice to have portraits of all Job related NPCs... Grouped and non-grouped like the Sultana/Flame General portraits.

defiantly have run into several situation where moving around the main ceiling light would have easily fixed the problem.

yes, a fish tank is a brilliant idea. you would need to make glass plates (silex/clear class lens?), use something like sealant, glue or mortar, and then catch/buy some high quality fish of specific types. We could have say, 3 or four combinations of fish to make fish tanks, sort of like how culinarian can make various kinds of tea sets and table foods.

I dont know if we want fish tanks to be edible/catchable ponds though, but it could work either like Culinarian Tea sets (10 samples or 3 fish, for instance) or like Gardens, especially if its a pond. Otherwise it would be decorative like Alchemist plants.

Gardening Box. A small shed or something works too.

Like an Armiore, but outside and stores Fishmeal, Seeds, Topsoils. Bonus points if I can store items in it and use them while gardening without the extra step of removing them.

My inventory would thank you.

This update we got to station Retainers outside along with two pieces of related furniture which makes a lovely little "shop" when combo'd with Awnings, but thinking about it there is nothing which really combos particular well with Garden plots and Chocobo Stables... Having a little garden tool box or shed would work really well, and I guess storing Magicked Brooms in it would make sense as well. Having it similar to the Company Chest would be great actually; Gives all gardeners/trainers the tools they need right next to the plot/stable, rather than having to go into the house and leave the house again.

Would like for my spouse to be able to teleport to my private house and interact with furniture and vendors like I can.
