Another Housing Idea...well Apartments

[Jojoya]

{ I apologize if this has been mentioned before. I'm not always on social media to speak about a problem.}

As awesome as it is to bid on a new home. I lost my small house to a line of 40 people in bid for it. The odds were slim but none the less I've tried. I can't use this outside decor I've gathered up from previous holiday events, as well as gifts that I have now collected for this moment.

I have an apartment though!! The only thing that bothers me so is that I can't even get an apartment upgrade like...can't we have the option of "upgrading" it from Apartment to Condo or something? Expand the square so that we are allowed to give ourselves more room to make a home out of it instead of living in a small studio apartments that's literally almost the same size as my bed room in the fc. (I don't know the actual size okay) There are subtle differences from owning a home and owning an apt. Houses you have access to gardening, airships, not to mention you get to choose a SIZE and all sorts of unique housing glamours that make your home stand out, but what about our apartments? They deserve love and a similar treatment. If we going to keep getting housing items for events, patches or whatever the cause may be. I believe we deserve at least that much. Yes some of us may not get a home but if you made apartments more interesting I believe it will lessen the dissatisfaction players have at requiring a home.

YoshiP has said the housing system memory won't allow direct upgrades to apartments.

On the other hand, he also mentioned back in Stormblood they were discussing the possibility of adding in apartment sizes. Similar to how you would choose a plot size for your house, you would choose an apartment size when you purchase. If you wanted a different size, you would give up your old apartments and purchase a new one in the size you want. Unfortunately, nothing has been said about this since so we don't know if the idea was abandoned or still being considered.

Certainly such a system would satisfy at least part of the existing demand fueled by a desire for more interior space even if it doesn't satisfy demand created by the desire to have outdoor decoration or a garden.

It would certainly satisfy me if they did this. I would buy a large apartment and never take another look at a house plot. Outdoor fixtures are nice but I am primarily concerned with having enough indoor space to be able to decorate the way I want.
