Instanced Housing: Adventurer Hideouts!

[Soge01]

Just a thought that popped up into my head. If anybody has ever played Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald it's basically that: a secret base somewhere in the open world where you can decorate to your liking and invite others to see/hang out in it.

In the case of it being instanced, just make it so an unlimited amount of people can use the same spot and that the hideout they pop up into is completely separate from the open world.

Thoughts?

Edit:
Here's a link to a person's video showing off their secret base in Pokemon Emerald to get a good visual example of what I'm talking about: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5rlkx7x7OBk

This seems like a very complex way to just make housing ... in general ... instanced.
Also this is what ESO does.

I'm going to go cry now before I become yoshi p's armchair systems engineer.

Then...Why not make it something simple that can be expanded on over time? Like, at first, your adventurer hide out starts out pretty basic, similar to apartments in the housing wards. But as time goes on, the adventurer hideout system gets expanded through major patches to include other things, like extra floors and even a place where you can plant seeds and house your Chocobo!

Would that work?

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea and at this point it would be a great place to begin the modular aspect of instanced housing. YoshiP disagrees.
At this point with the lottery system we already have 3 types of housing systems and there's a serial issue with feature scope in general.

Just a thought: What if the housing sanctuary successfully fixes the housing issue and that leaves the housing wards pretty much empty, save for unbought FC plots.

What if then the idea of a second, but miniature home feature outside of both the sanctuary and the housing ward system could be implemented?

And that new feature could be used out in the vast empty open world where, as Shibi pointed out the name because I forgot what it was called, "instanced gates" were put up in secluded areas where pieces of land, like abandoned buildings, small caves, etc, could be modified into little hide outs for playerwhere one could utilize a few familar features accessible when you have a house or apartment, but also special incentive features that may give special enhancement to your jobs and participation in special Fates similar to the treasure hunting feature, but exclusive to gatherer classes.

I'm just thinking off the top of my head as I understand what you're saying. But at the same time, I can also see Yoshi-P actually being able to implement a feature like Adventurer hideouts once things surrounding the current housing system and other problematic features in the game are successfully or somewhat for the most part resolved.

I also think Adventurer hideouts could give players extra incentive to actually go out in the open world and explore a bit. And maybe with a hideout feature in the open world of the game, maybe it could inspire Yoshi-P and the dev team to do more with the open world leaving it what it currently is: a vast and open empty space that's really beautiful to look at, but again, nothing much going on there besides Fates and the occasional Hunt party.

I seriously doubt the island sanctuary will be much more than a novelty, and better for crafters/gatherers. Anyway, a proper instanced housing feature would pretty much make the housing wards obsolete. I mean something on par with the idea suggested here, like ESO's or something - I hesitate to mention ESO however, due to how monetized the system is/was.

Not that the housing wards aren't already empty.

I really want this place (the Hermits Hovel in Outer La Noscea).





I don't mind if the path down has an "instance gate" into a private version I can decorate and enjoy.

That would be so cool to see a place like that be converted into your own special little home away from home!

and the music there is awesome as well!

There is a similar place after you pass the coeurls (and some Galagos) at upper la noscea (I think) close to a small lake. You go there in a MCH job quest, btw. Very nice and hidden place as well!

Neat idea. But I remember someone once mentioned on another thread it is not possible to do so because the way the game and servers are coded etc. etc....Yeah, not happening. Despite how much I want it.
