Suggestion: library and books (about lore?) we can actually read

[BellaEyria]

Hi

I would looove to have a library in my house where I could store books that I have collected around Eorzea (dungeons, quests... but also maybe a book in a lost house anywhere?).
These books would relate parts of Eorzea history for example or anything!

That would add another collection to the game like minions: collect books about the lore, put them in your house library and read them on your beautiful handcrafted bed!

What do you think about it?

[Edit] I am editing some pictures right now to show an example Will put them here when it's done

i would collect ALL of these said books... and read them, damn it with all these great housing suggestion that get me excited about nothing T_T

we can make these empty book shelves right? well then we could collect books and stick them on shelves.

As for existing book shelves, they could be clickable, and then would produce one of those nice grey menus with text, similar to a retainer menu, but instead of actions, there would be a list of "books" to "check out" and read. We could even have a new animation similar to the Arcanist animation but without the flashy lights and summons. While a person was in "book" mode, it would be similar to being distracted. The animation could also be similar to the various dances that loop, but the thing that might loop would be page flipping.

They could later add the "while sitting" version.

Lore, and possible "easter eggs" could be found in various pages of some books and book shelves, sort of like the unspoiled nodes with the waterfowl feathers that keep changing positions.

There is work being done on an in game library. Fern mentioned it during fanfest that they have the general idea and plan just need to sort out getting it in. But more than likely this will be an actual library instead of books for your shelves.

Short of being able to select my victory motion in every cutscene, this would please me greatly... oh, the lore I could glean from such tomes... please SE, make it happen!
