Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Beckett]

its my hopes that they'll make it so that if you have to go inactive for a long time for whatever reason(s) that your tenants will be able to negate the property reclaim situation.

Currently housing reclamation is on hold, and they haven't decided whether or not they will resume it.

Ok, as my questions got deleted from the live letter questions, let me repost them here. Can we get a Moogle or Primal set of weathervanes? Or Primal themes for the exterior of the houses? And a Moogle striking dummy since a lot of people now hate Moogles after that long quest chain. And how about a new couch and canopy bed design that is able to be dyed? And can we increase the number of items that we can place in our yards? 30 items is not enough for a small house plot. Thank you for your time!

YES PLEASE!

So many beautiful new items but no space T_T. Can we please upgrade our private houses? Just let us buy more rooms like we can already do in a fc house (but please don't limit it to only one and let us buy more in a fc too).

Advantages: gil sink (maybe 500k for each room), better market for housing items and no need to buy a bigger house because you can just buy more rooms (and you can make each room into a special theme) and no change of the layout of the housing plots is needed.

And a little question: What happened with the feature of roaming minions? The last answer to this was over a year ago U_U. Do you still have plans for that or is all hope lost? (Would be nice to know)

I am addicted to home decor! I love to decorate and I think of different themes and I'd love to have my personal house become a little town with a hospital, restaurants, library, school, bathroom!

However, a friend and I toured a ton of houses randomly, and many houses are nothing more than storing furniture, and it makes me a bit sad.

I believe the idea of more rooms is great, but I see abuse from it...

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.

1.- There are several members of our FC that have been inactive for a couple months, but they are the type that show up when major updates happen. We don't want to kick them from our FC (since being a casual FC we are understanding), but they have furniture in their private rooms and if I understand correctly we can't move until their stuff is gone or they are gone. Is there any chance of implementing either a direct transfer of private rooms from the old house to the new house, or have a 'retainer' of sorts that will keep a hold of any transferable furniture until they next log in and can place it in their private room again?

2.- There is the same sort of problem with the chocobos (if I understand correctly). Is there any chance of getting the chocobo returned to the owner when we move or have them be unavailable until another chocobo stable is on the new plot? (Theoretically having some housing agent keep care of the chocobo until the stable is ready.)

3.- Is there also a chance of getting an additional retainer or FC chest whose sole purpose is to move furniture from one plot/house to the other plot/house (maybe by making them available only for the 24 hours the house was first purchased)? Inventory in this game has always been an issue for some of us crafting types. Trying to move too is just troublesome.

Those are the three main points my casual FC wanted me to cover/post on this forum. Part of our perk as a FC is to cater to some of those that can't always play every month. With the housing market being what it is, plots of land will sell out quick. Any chance of getting some of these ideas done?

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.

Well if they make it 500k a room than it would be quite the expensive storage . I also only use my fc room as a storage because the space in a small house is already limited and my retainers are already full with other glamour. I dont want to throw away all the event housing items because they are quite costly at the market board so I use that room to store them. So for me if we could buy more rooms I could use all of those items again, maybe making a room with a christmas theme or a spring theme. I dont really see any reason for abuse, especially since the people own these houses and if they want to use it like that than they should be able too. But for all the other people it would be a good improvement (imo).

A tree with a usable swing and a swing bench for outdoors would be fun. For either indoors/outdoors some usable rocking chairs would be great to have too.

Could we get a replica of the relief that was put in Falcon's Nest? Perhaps as a Main Story reward?
