[Megathread] Final Fantasy XIV

[SodiumChloride]

I think Ishgard's inn has a certain charm to it - other than the lack of chairs around the tables. I do hope they make a lot of the furniture displayed within Fortemps Manor available to players though. As an aside, I do wonder what the lore justification will be. How is Aymeric going to save face by allowing adventurers and outsiders to live in Ishgard when there's countless Ishgardians living pitiful lives within the forgotten corners of the city?

Or they can just set the housing in the Sea of Clouds ...

...

...

Instanced personal islands!!! HO!!!!!

*cough* Sorry about that.

Still don't think you're getting the equivalent of an entire Ward to yourself, SC.

But, as the poet once said...

DON'T STOP!
BELIEEEEVING!
HOLD ON TO THAT FEEEELIIIIING!

[Scufflegrit]

Have you seen the Ishgard Inn room?
I was wondering what went through SE's head when they designed that and whether it's some indication of how "rotten" or "cold" the Ishgard wards will look.

Well, The Forgotten Knight is basically part of the Brume, the most worn and decrepit part of Ishgard. The rooms there are less a luxury and more along the lines of something that keeps you from freezing to death at night. Actually, I kinda take that back. Not freezing to death at night would be a luxury for the people living there.

Floating City of Nym would be my choice for housing in the sky.

If anything, I would suspect any sort of residential district for players to be attached to/part of the Pillars.

Although having it in a not-so-shiny and nice part of a city, such as an offshoot of the Brume, would be interesting in a way, simply due to how much of a contrast it would be compared to the other player housing districts. I don't expect that to happen, though.

[Kazgrel]

You could always try Wildstar!

The idea of housing amongst floating islands off in the Sea of Clouds somewhere had occurred to me many months ago when I made a brief foray into Wildstar. Wouldn't be a terrible idea, least on the surface. Still think we'll see such housing in Ishgard first before we would see it in the Sea of Clouds.

[Lathais]

I think Rift has about the best housing solution you can imagine. Granted, a lot of other parts of the game are not great, but the housing and level of customization is simply amazing.

Well ... Spatially it's possible. What's wrong with asking for a room with skybox textures for the walls.

We discussed this! I changed it to "special space" with my typo. So it is written, so shall it be!

Even if SE goes with the current ward system, Sea of Clouds would make more sense than Ishgard.

For one it's less depressing. Better weather. Better view, an endless sea of clouds (literally) v.s. homeless people in the Brume.

It's such a pity those games aren't my thing when it comes to combat or aesthetics.

I have little to no "connection" with my character nor the game world. :/

I tried. I really did.

Got to hand it to SE when it comes to world building.

Even if compared against a theoretical housing district in the Pillars, I agree that a Sea of Clouds district would be neater (and more preferrable) to see, aesthetics wise.

Heck, between the Clouds, Pillars, and even something Brume-ish, that's 3 potential player/fc housing areas that could be implemented. Some people just simply want some sort of house they can call their own, location be damned (I'm not one of those folks...I'm content chilling at our FC's house).

So ... 3.3 in two weeks (6th 7th of June 2016; edit:24h maintenance) ...

The servers will be swamped. Or I will be busy.

/sigh

Mate I'm on Cerberus EU which is one of the largest EU along with Odin, Phoenix and Ragnarok. Servers will be on at 10am GMT and 7th is a day off for me. I WILL be getting the small house . Yeah decided on small since a house is a house at the end of the day plus I don't want to be broke when it comes to furnishings.

[Granyala]

Mate I'm on Cerberus EU

WoooT... me too.

Still thinking about a nice little house in Lavender Beds.

[Eleccybubb]

wooot... Me too. :d

still thinking about a nice little house in lavender beds.

Stay away from my beds! .

[Granyala]

Stay away from my beds! .

Wouldn't dream of trampling on your flowers, don't worry.

[Eleccybubb]

Tbh if I end up going Goblet I will still be disappointed I didn't get the ward I was after but happy I got a house. But yeah will be camping outside just before servers go down. If there are 240 new ones per ward should be 80 small ones I guess.

[Granyala]

Meeh, Goblet is sooo ugly.

[Eleccybubb]

Meeh, Goblet is sooo ugly.

Indeed. But like I said house is a house at the end of the day. Will be camping out in Lavender Beds and the moment the server is up I'll be in and getting my whatever grade small plot.
