Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Dustytome]

I am part of a very casual FC, but we have spent some time saving money and want to move to a larger house (size large as opposed to small). Now that more housing will become available in 3.3, we now find ourselves in a quandary. Three major points of concern when moving come to mind.

...

There's been no real info on moving atm, but they said they were looking into implementing something for moving houses after 3.4 (estimated using patch release averages as being after september). So until then you can obliterate the fc house, have some furniture/all rooms/all airships destroyed and have everyone pay another 300k per room at the new house. Another option is to make a 2nd FC, rank it up to 6 before the patch and buy the large house with that FC, then gradually let people switch over. This still requires them to pay another 300k to switch over and destroys furniture that can't be removed, but it gives them time.

Propably posted a gazillion times before, but what I would wish for so badly would be:

• Room partitions that automatically take the interior wall texture
• Door partitions that automatically copy the interior wall texture

My idea how this would be doable is making the object consist of 2 textures:
1. One texture that is the door, while the rest is left transparent
2. One texture pointer that points towards the wall texture

What I'd also love would be an additional slot in the interiors menu for the room pillars. It looks so inconsistent, when you create a room in Allagan/Alexandrian style, while the pillars are still made of wood.

Extra tall Royal Partitions would be nice. I like the design of them but they don't have a tall ceiling reaching option.

I'd like to see a version of the Mahogany Partition Door to match every housing type (Glade/Oasis/Riviera).

It's your only option if you want a ceiling height partition with a door, but the kind of wood it's made out of doesn't match our houses at all - it ends up sticking out like a sore thumb.

I know it doesn't help much but the Mahogany Doors are dyeable. I too would enjoy a variety of door designs but color isn't an actual issue atm.

Only the door itsself dyes though, not the partition that Myon is talking about. So you still have a giant Riviera wall in the middle of your room/house/mansion that has Glade walls, for example. Just because you wanted to have a door.
That's unacceptable.

I didnt went through the whole thread so see if it was mentioned already (sorry in advance^^') but me and a friend were talking about the minigames in the GS recently (all those little automats were you can play a game for a hand full of gil) and since we're lacking furniture to interact with/give the house some purpose I thought those (or something similar) in our homes would be great! So: Some machines, that will allow you to play a little game, please!

I would love to see more housing decor with a "doma" theme, like roofing styles for example, it could be oriental-esque and curve at the corners, have far eastern dragons carved in, those sorts of things. And perhaps more far eastern artwork to hang on our walls. It is wonderful that they added in tatami mats and sakura trees but it would be amazing to have an entire ninja compound going~ hoping they add the dojo theme from the ninja guild to the sheet music available for our music changer decoration. just a thought.

Also katana and armor sets like those from ffxi (sort of guessing that those will be introduced when/if samurai is though)

Also it would be nice to be able to change the door/window style in personal rooms.. a bright plain door in an otherwise very ornate room stands out in a bad way.

It is rather greedy of me as these are all things i want personally for my au ra ninja but.. ideas!

What I would wish for is a room-high window front like in the inn rooms. My personal downside with the interior of the housing is the tiny windows they have while we could have "natural" light flooding through a huge window like in the inn room. It's already in the game too so I think it should be easy to add to housing, no? Don't have to be able to actually see what's outisde, just the effect it gives in the inn...I love that a lot! Imagine how pretty and inviting this would look with a couch, a table, and teaset arranged in front of that. Add a plant and a bookstack. Can we have that please :3 (If not because idk why, maybe just larger windows so it let's the sun shine in like the new house skins)

This would be an excellent thing for a housing glamour. The company workshops would be busy like crazy to produce these. They also need to either add in a sakura tree alchemy recipe or they need to create a vendor for all the old seasonal housing items because we can't buy them from the calamity vendor like we do the seasonal gear and they don't sell furnishings in the mog store. I would absolutely loves to have this theme for my house. They should also come up with more doman themed interior designs such as the shoji screen walls, the lanterns, wall hangings and more furniture all together. Maybe for the exterior we could have a Torii gate at the entrance. They created the housing glamours and should really take advantage of the workshop's potential. There are a crazy amount of possibilities if they used the workshop as a way to open up new housing designs, landscapes, interiors etc. Right now I have tons of airship mats and nothing to spend it on. I'd love a steady supply of new recipes to be released so I have something to use the mats on. Its also really nice that the glamours are tradeable so we can sell or give them away. Nothing like having your FC work together to help glamour a member's house or to make gil for the whole FC.
