Likewise (my house is my base of operations), but what Victoria Silverdawn is talking about is FC specific concerns: workshops (not crafting stations, the room) and everything in them, and FC members' rooms. Having moved to different personal houses three times, I can say from experience that while the move feature would definitely streamline the process of moving, it's much easier for an individual to recover from a move, than it is for an FC. I'll lose a few items from my personal house that destroy on removal, but I can replace those quickly. An FC moving has to have all private rooms demolished (if members aren't on to demolish them, you have to kick them from the FC), and will lose all progress in their workshop--airships and learned schematics, all gone. THAT is what she was talking about.

Apartment confirmed to be getting double limits as well according to the patch notes!

Going to have to do some testing once servers are back up! We now have a smaller version of the orchestrion. The wording is a bit odd, I wonder if it means per residence or if we can now set music on different floors to something else? The furnishing display window change was a nice surprise too!

I noticed the changes on plant. I'm a little worried about my dead plants in my Haukke x Glade-styled Manor though >_<

Still waiting for more pictures on the interior design of Shirogane houses.. The waiting is slowly killing me inside -_-

Also, PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IN FFXIV! XD

I think it means that in a single housing/apartment instance, we can only place either the full sized Orchestrion unit or the portable version, not both.

I think this is the speaker they've talked about before, that plays the same track as the main orchestrion, but allows for better sound quality throughout the house.
Edit: A friend of mine just point out that "* The orchestrion and table orchestrion cannot be placed together in a room." probably refers to Company Rooms and Apartments.


That's an existing painting, right? It looks like we'll be able to change the painting on the easel like we can with the picture frames.

Can confirm that that is an existing painting. I believe you're right!

Well boys, swimming in residential area is probably all-or-nothing. Good choice from Yoshi-P imo.

Gamer Escape: We know that Costa del Sol is getting swimming with Stormblood, will other 2.x or 3.x areas be getting anything we should keep an eye out for?

Yoshida: We looked for different locations within existing content, but swimming in Ishgard? It looks so cold!

That being said in terms of swimming, we got a lot of feedback about wanting to be able to swim in residential areas, so that is being considered. But, if we implemented something like that right now people would view Limsa Lominsa as the best since it has so much water. I’ve instructed the housing team to look at maps, since they would need to be restructured, to ensure that no matter which area you have housing, you would be able to swim in a comfortable environment and make sure its equally situated for every housing zone. Hopefully we can make this happen in the not too distant future.

And thus, The Goblet gets a YMCA.
