island sanctuary

We're no longer going to be the Warrior of Light, we're going to be the Farmer of Light, producing food for the war-torn lands having food shortages.

That is a legit thing for a hero to do. The war is over, but the people are starving, so the WoL picks up farming tools.

Not sure if you meant it this way, but if you did... I like it! (literally what you said, not as a joke but "literally" lets do that).

Where you use the island to actually interact with other elements of the game world, like actually producing and sending food to X village and making an impact to that village (such that each village may have a 'level' and you help rank them up). There also may be other content that is less one and done once some of the story / etc side content has been completed, like empowering your squadron (may tie in with a new purpose for squadrons as Trust system takes over other elements), beast tribe, new type of custom deliveries, FC, etc.

It was a joke, but I could definitely see them coming up with some sort of world interaction mechanic using the island.

I hope that we get a wide array of ingredients to use for CUL out of this more than anything else. Leveling our Chocobos would be cool too. All that dirty straw will make an excellent soil amendment!

Looks like we might actually get instanced housing.

So is this true or no? Pointing specifically at the Meoni screenshot. Cause the way they phrased it is that there will be housing similar with ability to place furniture which alludes to instanced housing or players being provided with a free house in IS. I've seen a screenshot in one of the housing discords that also says that housing/furniture/etc. isn't confirmed. Anyone have clarification?

I'd say let's just wait for Live Letter part 2, probably they gonna mention it.

I'm a bit sceptical. This sounds like something they would advertise way more. Better keep my excitement low till we get it officially confirmed.

I'm hoping this is something they'll go into detail about in the next live letter because not just an instanced island for you to grow crops/breed animals/possibly have a workshop? but also place buildings, including your own house. If that's the case, I'm totally fine with it starting out small, like an apartment space, but being able to be upgraded as you get more resources (a la Far Cry). That would be amazing. I just want to be able to customize it.

well, yoshida talks about it here

Now I'm getting excited. He mentioned having a personal island, placing buildings, gardening, animal raising.
It will be released in one of the 6.x patches and they will add stuff over time.
O and we will be able to visit other people's islands
