Regarding that Finaland Interview...

[Vahlnir]

What was the situation like in regards to player housing in FFXI? Did it exist...and if so, did every player have access to it?

In FF XI all players got what is essentially "inn rooms" in FF XIV, only they could be decorated with furnishings.

In FF XI all players got what is essentially "inn rooms" in FF XIV, only they could be decorated with furnishings.

One additional point of emphasis: the equivalent nature of the housing in XI ensured equal access to the possible bonuses available (such as reduced XP loss on death), in addition to Gardening.

In my estimation, this is one of the more problematic aspects of XIV's Apartments. While they're a similar size to XI's Mog Houses (well, to the original MH pre-second-floor), they don't provide equivalent access to Gardening, nor will they permit the higher-level FC Actions or FC Workshop access.

I didn't play FF XI long and never really messed with my Mog House much, so the responses on this page are appreciated. I didn't know that they had (or added) various things. It has been about 9 years or so since I last played after playing for about a year-ish. Had a blast though and will never forget it.
