Lofts

But you can place stuff on them, just takes a bit of work.

Hi OP. Here's a video explaining how to use purely in game methods to painstakingly place items on a loft and then float them to create a second floor.

I used this method myself for the second floor of my apartment, and I'll be honest with you it was a huge pain in the ass. Everyone pretending like this method existing somehow "counts" for loft placement being a thing is being disingenuous as heck, but here's the info and now you know.

Tbh this is much simpler than placing fake windows on the partitions :3

because FFXIV need to add a slider so we can move stuff in the third dimension, right now it is entirely 2D for placement instead of giving full use the engine.

For someone reason the developers thought it funny that people have to rely on glitches, when it would be easier to just permit us to place everything everyone in the room and with what ever elevation for everything... also it would be niceif you can toggle floor on lofts/stages as well.. so you can add the items and just lift it all without having to use glitches in the game for doing such.

I really like what you did here, cmgrats !

I tried to follow a glitch tutorial myself but I’m on Ps5 (was on the PS4 pro when I first tried to glitch) and it seems very hard on console unfortunately. Or I just simply suck at it, who knows! XD
So I decorated the “hard way”.

That is actually very easy to do if you're using mouse/keyboard. Place imitation window in Storerooom, select from Storeroom, move into position on partition and double click the Display Subcommands keybind to place. Done. (I'm not certain how awkward it might be if using a controller.)

Compare that to repeating almost the same process with a loft/shelf (except using Inventory instead of Storeroom) several times to get an item floated.

That's what i did but i use it on stage panel to make like, hmm how to say it, stencil? Then move whole thing into place and unglue(?) panel leaving them on the partition i want them to be on. The only issue is that you need to be facing the panel at the right angle which is in front of you.

Short and simple version:
Place all items you want to float on the ground in the exact spots they need to be, place stage panel behind them, place loft in a way it covers all the hit boxes, place loft they should float up a bit. Repeat till they go to the height you want. Tedious i know but once you learn how to do it you will laugh how simple it is

Sounds like you might be using a variation of the original trick used to get the windows on partitions before the storage glitch was discovered and shared. It's not necessary anymore. You should be able to place the window directly on the partition now as long as you're doing it from storage and using the subcommand menu keybind to place them instead of a mouse click.
