Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Beckett]

I'm one of the few people that seems to really like the Goblet, though now I wish I bought a house in Shirogane like my friend did. Tons of garden options to decorate his house with and really match the overall eastern aesthetic. Mist and lavender beds have lots of floral options too, though to prettify my goblet garden desert style I'm stuck with one tree and a fence with flowers and cacti. That's it. I don't really like the weird glowy whismical items, I just want more normal plants that match the the location themes. q_q

Hopefully Ishgard housing, if it does happen, we'll cause the design team to stop focusing so much on far eastern items.

Also strongly seconding ability to preview items before buying them.

This is far from a perfect solution, but a way you can kind of preview housing items is to have it in your inventory, go into your house and start the process of putting it down, then before actually putting it down and Binding it, turn off your UI (defaulted to Scroll Lock on PC) to see what the item looks like without the orange glow around it. If you don't like how it looks, just escape out and you can still sell your unbounded furnishing on the MB.

There are quite a few things that you buy from vendors and bind to you just from buying them... I try to find someone in game that already has the item places in their house/ apt/ FC room so I can look at it, get a feel for the size/ colors before I buy things myself.

From my other thread:

If possible, a fix be applied so that the size/dimensions of unique house exterior walls adjust to the dimension of the plot and its sorroundings to perfectly fit and not seem forced when set up, thanks.
