Reddit: Let's move a bit safer back to our Free Company houses. We've been told there's the possibility of getting personal gardens in our Free Company rooms. Is there any updates to this?

Yoshida: One of the biggest problems for adding things like this is our save data problem. Right now anything that is connected to the player and might have some kind of progression takes up a lot of data. Right now one of the biggest things in the game is "we need more inventory slots, we need more inventory slots" but players need to realize that takes up a lot of memory and this type of gardening would do the same thing. Right now every fifteen seconds the game is going and checking in with our back end servers and writing save data to those. I think that's the most in the world for any MMORPG. We're doing the most writing. And we think that's what keeps our game stable. The more that we add to this means that instead of every fifteen seconds we'd have to extend that because there's going to be a lot more writing going on. And when you do a lot more writing it brings down the stability of the game because it authors opportunities for rollbacks in there as well and that's something you want to avoid. The reason why we've ended up at this fifteen second rate and writing so much data, more than any other MMORPG, is because of the armory system that we chose. If it was one character with one job there'd be less to write. But again because we have one character, ALL the jobs that makes a lot of save data that needs to be accessed at the same time. Still in 3.0 we're working on a new way to expand the save data area. And right now the development team all know how much we're adding so the development team is all battling for a piece. Basically it's up to the crafting and gathering team to go in there and say "No we need this for gardening!". So it's something we can do once we've added a little bit more. We understand that players do want to raise something personally in their own rooms but the thing is that you have to put weight on it. Compared to raising your own Chocobo which one do we choose? And right now we've decided more players are looking forward to raising their own Chocobo. So that's what we're doing. But it's not something we're going to ignore. We know that players want it but it comes down to priorities.
