Thread: In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

Thank you for the response, Yoshi P! Looking forward to what will come in 4.2!

Thank you for your response on this, I was one of those impacted by the bug in the relocation feature, losing out on a house. 12 wards on Cactuar's Shirogane were gone within 10 minutes, the rest within 5-10 minutes thereafter.

Ever since the launch of the new housing I've seen many party finder and reddit posts full of WTB & WTS housing. If I were to offer a few suggestions I would A) Restrict housing to 1 personal & 1 FC house per account. B) Require a 24 hour wait from the moment a plot is demolished to when it may be sold again.

I feel the addition of these changes would possibly allow more players to purchase a house for themselves rather than a few individuals buying up several plots (see article from Kotaku titled "Two Final Fantasy XIV Players Buy Dozens of Homes, Spark Debate Over Housing Shortage" published 7/6/2017.) There's alot to enjoy, even though the biggest feature for me did slip through my fingers.

Thank you,

Thank you so much this is great news

Thank you so much for your response, Yoshi. <3

I am a bit concerned over the secret changes to the way housing is purchased but one solution is staring you in the face, Yoshi-p. Apartments. Allow us to add tenants, and give us the ability to buy improvements. As a suggestion:

Stage one: Standard apartment room, allows one tenant to be added.

Stage two: Adds small, instanced outside yard, and basement. Allows for the placement of 20 pieces of outdoor furnishing, one garden, boosts interior decorations allowed to 200, grants second tenant allowance (Apartment will be the same size as a Small House)

Stage three: Increases size of the yard, adds second floor. Increases outside furnishings to 40, allows for a second garden, Increases interior decorations allowed to 300, grants third tenant allowance (Apartment will be the same size as a Medium House)

While not necessary a fourth stage could be added that will increase the size and functionality of the apartment to the same level of Large Houses.


Naturally the prices should go up but should never exceed that of Housing.

Please consider these changes. I feel they will be a massive help when it comes to the mega-servers like Gilgamesh and Balmung.

Thank you.

Great idea! And also add recreational stuff in the apartment area where people who get apartment will be able to gather such as a market area or bbq pit or SWIMMING POOL since stormblood allows us to swim already! and gym so we can have those TRAINING DUMMIES!

I just wanted to add that I really love this idea and think it should be considered.

I had a lot of friends who missed out on getting a house. I would love to see them get that opportunity next patch. I wish a permanent solution was found, but I understand that there are limitations and drawbacks with the setup for housing FFXIV has. I look forward to hearing the ideas you have implemented for rolling out the next opportunity for housing.

Thanks, my feedback is 1 personal and 1 FC house per account.
