Please put the map decorations back up in The Goblet

It's definitely my least favourite of the housing zones. I don't even think it's terrible so much as it's just completely overshadowed by the other options. Mist, Shirogane and the Lavender Beds are a lot more colourful and have more going on in terms of aesthetics.

The Goblet fulfills an important part in the current housing system: Because it is so ugly it is the only housing district where you can click on the placard for 15 hours without the fear that someone comes in and snaps the plot away to relocate their house o.o/

It is the entrance level housing district. Once you have a house there you then try to go to the next level and relocate into a more beautiful district. And when that is done you can try to upgrade further by relocating to an M or L plot (but don't make that mistake to buy an M or L plot in the Goblet, they are only for the few people who don't care or maybe actual like it there).

I have a medium there, right near a nice market board with three other friends having houses same ward. Wouldn't move. Out FC is also a medium in another ward in Goblet, will only ever move if we get a chance with Ishgard. Personally think Goblet is fine, beaten by Mist becuase it's a beach town (Lavender Beds imo is a mess). But hey, opinions.

It's less an opinion than an explanation how the housing system works, from a practical point of view.

If you want to buy a house new, do it in the Goblet. In any other ward the chance that a former Goblet citizen will move their house is just too high.


Actually back in 2014, before personal houses were a thing, when Gil was rare and plots in all wards were open for months, I decided to buy plot 29 in the Goblet for my FC. I love that little secluded area wich you can only reach over a small bridge. However, that's the only part of the Goblet I like.
