Let us make our own houses!

[gifthorse]

Non-instanced housing is highly unlikely and improbable in terms of FFXIV's graphics and needed power to run the game. It would take up way too many resources to have a custom house for EVERY player, especially if it was within city walls... It would create an immense amount of lag and clutter. It's just impractical.

Houses inside city walls is a ridiculous concept, I agree.

But there is alot of space in Eorzea and more can be added if SE wanted to pursue this concept and avoid clutter.

Instanced housing would be a lot like Mog Houses in XI... You can invite your friends on to your instance to see your garden, your house, etc. without slowing down the entire server. It just seems like the route to take.

I have no problem with instanced housing as long as I can invite others to my instance.

Instanced housing is okay, I guess, as an apartment. But anything beyond that (instanced villages for example) is just a ridiculous waste of time since nobody ever uses the feature except as an unnecessary rally point (see Age of Conan).

If they are going to add instanced housing, they should limit it to apartments since the amount of resource expenditure needed to breathe life into a feature no-one will hardly use is pointless.
