Excited for the new eastern onsen style housing exterior

[DamianFatale]

It's long overdue that we got a new eastern style exterior, because out of the special ones that we have, we only have two Eastern ones.

The first is the Kugane Castle style, and the second is the Odder Otter style. With this third new style of eastern housing having its own private Hot Spring attached, I think it will be really popular. These items are great for adding higher levels of detail without needing as many furniture items to do it.

Edit: By special I mean a single exterior housing item built in. I do not mean housing exteriors that can be combined with other housing exteriors.

So with that in mind, what kind of eastern style housing exteriors in the future would you be interested in? Please don't drop suggestions for Ishgardian, Limsa Lominsian, Gridanian, Uldahn, Ivalician, and etc. Id rather that be in another thread.

Doman, Hingashin, Thavnairian, Bozjan, Corvos, Ala Mhigo (yes it counts in some ways the monks have a very eastern flare), Yanxian (what little we know of it anyway), and anything we haven't seen that is in or around Othard with a distinct eastern style is what I am talking about.

Anyway onto some of my suggestions:

- A Hingashin Restaurant style in my opinion is the next logical step from a roleplayer, or immersive point of view. Would be great for any variety of Teriyaki, Takiyaki, Ramen, Dango, Sushi, or any other kind of a Japanese restaurant. Maybe tea, but I feel like tea would be its own exterior.

- An oriental tea shop! Would be beautiful, and cool to see when I wander around venue villages. Perhaps it could be paired with a built in eastern garden and tea table space.

- We have weapon vendors, and armories, but why not something with more of an eastern flair. An eastern armory, or weapon smith shop would be a cool design. Maybe even something like a dojo. Monk is a job that needs more love, and why not let the players build their own training facility based on famous historical architecture.

- A temple. Goes with the above idea a bit, but a place for training would be incredible. A sacred temple vibe could go well for a monk, or samurai experience. It would need to have some kind of an outdoor incense burner, and sacred sacramental details. Perhaps Square Enix could release statues of various kami from Othard to go with it. Maybe even a few we haven't seen before, but only in speculation, or light mentioning. I know id be delighted with Amaterasu, or even a fox shrine.

Near East:

- A dancer themed house would be delightful. One of my favorite places in all of the game is the dancer monument in Thavnair. It is one of the most beautiful designs in the game. Imagine a housing structure that were themed after a similar motive. Definitely would need its own outdoor platform for dancing, and performing. I would smile every time I saw a player use it. Might get tricky with smaller houses, but I would love to see some actual usable platforms and stairs in outdoor housing.

- A perfumery. Thavnair is known for its perfumes, so why not a perfume shop that reflects that. It could even have perfume billowing out of its roof via large ornate vent structures that we already see in Thavnair. Would not be hard to reuse certain assets with this design.

- a mulberry orchard. I don't know what the trees are called in Thavnair that they cultivate the most, but they look like mulberries. Might have a different name, but a mini orchard of that for aesthetic reasons would be cute.



off topic slighty: I want job themed housing exteriors in general. Would be really neat.
