Even the devs don't like the pillars inside of houses

During the Q&A part of the recent 14hr broadcast a person asked Yoshida if they could make it so that we could switch or even remove pillars and windows inside of houses. Yoshida replied with an answer of that part of the team had already been working on trying to make it so you can switch them out or even remove them. I love it when we ask questions like this only to find out the team has already been working on trying to make said request a possibility.

So hopefully they at least figure out a way for us to switch them out. As at least with a switch out you can then work them into a design better. Or have less pressure to have a house or apartment in a certain housing ward just so you don't have to eat up a slot in trying to hide a pillar style you don't enjoy. Which sure doesn't please the few who want 100% flat wall, but at least it would be something.

Working around pillars is very annoying.

Easily maybe 1/3rd of a house i build is taken up by hiding pillars and walls with the partitions. If we could get the option to just remove them it would save a lot more space for me to be more creative with my builds.

Yeah, they definitely stifle creativity a lot. It would be nice to be able to remove them. I've had to use a lot of partitions myself to cover up problem areas. An unnecessary waste of space, in my opinion.

Renalt arranges the rocks under the bridge he lives under yet again cause he can't buy a house with his 9 figure gil account.

They're the parts of the walls of the inside of houses/apartments that jutt out of the corners of the walls. A lot of people either 100% don't like them as they prefer to have a flat wall. Or they own a house or an apartment that has a style they don't like or clashes with the design they want in that space. Like the ones in the Goblet are beige chunky blocky pillars that many tend to use up precious furniture slots in order to hide. We also can't make them a different color so even if you might like the style they again might not be the right shade that goes with the rest of your wall.

Not only pillars are bothering.

In some house, especially Shirogane, the roof is a japanese style, which is a style on his own and can do a huge contrast with everything you try to do that's not "Asian". Ho, and it come with some ugly green color as well on the corner linking the wall and the roof.

why yes that is the biggest issue with housing right now.
