Are we getting houses?

[Coombah]

Here are a few things I posted in regard to housing through the Company system HERE

Company Housing

For Private Companies I would also like Company Housing. This would be our HQ I guess, a communal house where we would have access to various features. As our Company credits grow in our Private Company account we could use the funds to buy upgrades to our housing. So maybe we start off in a run down building and as we grow we can buy either upgrades to the existing building or a whole new bigger and better building. Then we could add extensions to it like the Chocobo Stable's, Airship landing pad and so on. A few things I would like in this house would be the following:

• A main communal room which we can decorate and also mount trophies from our NM's kills and completed missions/accomplishments.
  
• A Communal Storage area where I can drop off mats and items which I may not find useful but a crafter in our Company might.
  
• A Chocobo stables for raising our Chocobo's and looking after them.
  
• An Airship landing pad for our Airship. Our Airship would be fully upgradable so we can kit it out with new features and perks as we grow as a Company.
  
• A dock for our boat. Same as the Airship we can fully upgrade it.
  
• Private quarters that we can decorate and also storage for our gear that we wouldn't put in the communal storage.
  
• A crafter area that you could kit out with support benches.
  
• A garden would also be nice too that we could grow things in. It would be great if you could grow things for Botanists to harvest, and maybe even some types of rock plants for Miners to harvest too. Also a pond for the Fishermen/women within the Company.

Well since you're asking.......

1. Choice of location. Give us a choice of different interesting and beautiful locations within each city/zone. By the beach, on the cliffs or even on an island in La Noscea! Canyon cliffside or by an oasis in Thanalan! Atop the trees or by a lake in the Black Shroud! The ideas are endless guys.

2. Interior and Exterior decoration. Obviously with a house comes customization. Please allow use to decorate the inside with various furniture, wallpapers and carpets as well as the outside with statues, fountains and exterior house customization.

3. Housing Expansion. Allow us to not only customize but expand our dwelling. Give us long quests and crazy requirements to get bigger and better houses over time. This makes not only getting the house an accomplishment but expanding it as well.

4. Allow other players to visit. What's the point of having a cool place of your own if no one else can see it? Allow us to bring anyone in our party with us to our houses. That would be the most simple way to do it while keeping restrictions in my opinion.

This is what I would like to see done with player housing.

I love the idea of of player housing + guild housing. I know in Guild Wars 2 (*gasp I used another game for reference!* :X!) they have an entire 1/4th of the city instanced just for your character, and it changes based on the decisions your character has made. They also made it so that you can invite friends into your area if they so choose to. I love the idea of it.

I am still holding out hopes for linkshell house where your LS crafters can craft things to put into it. Similar to how CoH/CoV allowed you to build your own teleporters, id love for LS crafters to be able to build/maintain their LS's air ships.

Jesus, we haven't even heard about mounts yet. There's no reason to think multiple years ahead XD

Actually, we have heard about mounts, and will be receiving chocobos *most likely* in patch 1.19.

The game economy cannot currently support a housing market.

We asked Yoshida whether housing would be implemented and this is what he said:

Housing is definitely one thing that I would like to do. Currently we are only in the planning phase and there is nothing concrete that I can show you all just yet, however, if you have any ideas of what you think would be cool we would like to hear them for our planning.

What ideas would you like to see implemented with housing? I personally would like a handsome Elezen butler…

Well since you're asking.......

1. Choice of location. Give us a choice of different interesting and beautiful locations within each city/zone. By the beach, on the cliffs or even on an island in La Noscea! Canyon cliffside or by an oasis in Thanalan! Atop the trees or by a lake in the Black Shroud! The ideas are endless guys.

2. Interior and Exterior decoration. Obviously with a house comes customization. Please allow use to decorate the inside with various furniture, wallpapers and carpets as well as the outside with statues, fountains and exterior house customization.

3. Housing Expansion. Allow us to not only customize but expand our dwelling. Give us long quests and crazy requirements to get bigger and better houses over time. This makes not only getting the house an accomplishment but expanding it as well.

4. Allow other players to visit. What's the point of having a cool place of your own if no one else can see it? Allow us to bring anyone in our party with us to our houses. That would be the most simple way to do it while keeping restrictions in my opinion.

Nailed it! I want my house to be instanced like mog houses in xi but expandable and fully decorative like in a few small no name games I have played.

Somehow work it into the storyline so that moogles are less rare and have one tend to my house, manage my mail and retainers.
