Most of the answers have been answered by the TheFatHousecat. But I'll double confirm that we do get our personal stables for chocobo. Yoshi-P mentioned this on numerous occasions. Besides that I am /really/ looking forward to personal housing. But I really do hope that you can invite people in it. I always loved to furnish my moghouse and invite people of my linkshell into it. By the time I quit FFXI, I had like 3 different room setups that I used to rotate.

I've always been a fan ever since FFXI for a good personal house and I even enjoyed how the rpg game "White knight chronicles" the online mode did this. You received a piece of land that you could freely customize. Built a house on it that you liked, choose where to place your plantage and so on. Not saying that S-E need to go that far. In any case, looking forward to it!

Even though the western community doesn't seem to thrilled about this lol
