Housing

Balmung was cleaned out in mins with many missing out, 557 in que got one in lavender beds hubby 881 only able to get in goblet.

I don't see why there's so much hate for the Goblet. There's still one where I have my house, though it's a small. I just checked and no one is camping it.

Also how do you know if the house is on a timer? All I see it the depreciation timer on it.

Balmung has a few spots open still, but they're all on the timer due to the previous owner relocating from it.

Yeah...

I wonder how many of these 'free houses' that people are pointing out are still under this timer.

imo, its boring compared to the other districts. If you aren't in the brimming heart its kinda meh.

I guess I didn’t think about the larges being in crappy locations. I do agree that the outer houses could have something else going for them

I think what hurts the outer houses the most that the lush oasis below (that only outer gob houses have a view of) is covered by a blue haze regardless of weather/time of day. I cant imagine why SE went out of their way to hide that :c

I agree with your comment but also wanted to add (my 2-cents) that the Brimming Heart is extremely under-rated and imo is actually the BEST (most fun) place to live if you can snag it.

i don't get it either. It was boring before but the hot springs they added in the middle is really cool now

Let's be honest here aside a few plot where the view is awesome the rest is kinda bad.

The goblet is my favorite housing area, and I really like it, but I feel like the problem with the Goblet, and many, many other plots across some of the other wards, is that Square Enix placed them "facing" weird directions. Shirogane is beautiful and has a nice feeling to it but let's be honest, apart from medium houses and one of the mansions, all other plots are facing weird direction. Same for a lot of the Medium houses on the Mist, and this is a problem for Large houses on the Lavender beds.

The Goblet happens to be the plot with the bigger number of "weird view" plots, though.

I really don't understand how SE thought it would be a nice idea to make all the "beach front" houses on Shirogane don't face the beach. Or almost all the medium houses on the mist face pillars. Pretty much all the small houses on the goblet are facing nothingness, instead of the plaza that even from afar is a nice "oasis-like" view. There is a house on Shirogane that is always the last one to be picked because for some reason SE place it facing a wall. And another really nice potential plot is facing a giant rock that blocks the beach completely.

I do feel like the main reason to why the goblet gets so much hate is because the houses are facing random, nonsense directions. On top of it having a severe lack of vegetation or decoration altogether on places that are too afar from the central area. I do understand it's supposed to be in the middle of the desert, but they could make the whole area look like a fancy oasis instead of making this awesome plaza that only 5 plots have a view of. Same goes for many of the Mist houses and the "oh my what a beautiful pillar, I love stairs" view.
