Guild Housing

A few people have been asking what we plan to do when guild housing comes into the game.

We discussed it at the Officer's Meeting today at length so I wanted to share what was talked about with everyone, so you can get an idea of the steps in the process and where we are at.

1. We 100% know that there will be 3 choices: Limsa, Ul'dah or Gridania.

2. Once we decide on a city, we then choose a house plot within that city.

3. No details have been released as to cost, or process.

4. We have seen Limsa housing, part of Ul'dah housing but not Gridania housing.

5. To make a decision we need more information!!!!!

So we had hoped that more info would be released in the last live letter but alas, no. 

In response to those of you who have been interested in housing and what we will do as a company, we can confirm we are 100% going to have housing.  We cannot make a decision as to where until more information is released.  We would like to post and share this info with everyone also.

Money at endgame is also pretty scarce (unless you are a crafter/gatherer), until the devs release some form of daily quests or increase the monetary rewards you get from instances. Housing will undoubtedly be costly so there are other things to discuss like how we fund the housing.

Just to let you know that this stuff is at the forefront of our minds as an officer team, but that as yet we cannot make any decisions until we have all the facts.

I kow that does not tell you much, but hopefully it will explain why we have not posted anything definite yet.  You will be the first to know!!!

Daily quests are going to be released with 2.1 (Beastman Dailys) and should be in some income to the level capped.

 

I'm up for Ul'dah myself, but I'm interested in seeing what Gridania brings to the table

I seem to recall Connor, Natch and Gib all expressing interest in Limsa, but that they wanted to see the rest first.  It had something to do with wondering if we'd need to switch Grand FC allegiance, or something, not sure, just stuff that I overheard in RC and /fc chat.  Personally, I've not given any thought towards guild housing, I thought it was just "social fluff" like for most games and could have not cared less about it.  

However, I was intrigued by Hex's post here, so I searched the web a little and found out that Free Company housing will offer quite a bit more than just a pretty place to store crap and talk about hanging out in, but never really visiting.

This FFXIVInfo article is about the most current and informational that I've found, so far.  If anyone has links to other current and up-to-date information about housing, especially Free Company housing, please post them, it has my interest piqued now.

I think it was that they did not like Limsa! (speaking for Phobos and myself on that one!)

We still do not have any info as to what the perks are but it is meant to be things like crafting, raiding and other such buffs.  It is also able to be decorated and enhanced in different ways, and there may be things like a return feature as well.

I love that there are both fc and personal housing options available.

I was always partial to Ul'dah for both FC allegiance & housing.

After seeing brief previews of Limsa Lominsa & Ul'dah housing plots, that hasn't changed much.

Still waiting on the Gridania reveal, as well as more details on allegiance benefits, to finalize my vote - so many unknowns at present.

 

Moogle butlers would be tough to beat though.

What about Lawn Gnome + Tonberry = Lawnberry!?

Or Goobbue hedge sculptures! :O

Ah, maybe it was that Limsa was the only one that was preview-able at that time or something.  I'm not a fan of any of them, so don't have a preference.

A lot more about housing from the patcher, which reference this video from the Tokyo Game Show posted by Square Enix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-Qqjow4HNuY#t=2592.75.  The video is in Japanese, so we get an English translation here.

The same article from the patcher is also on the Lodestone now - check it out for info on 2.1, Crystal Tower, Binding Coil of Bahamut, and the Wolve's Den.  http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/e399bf8a0de76c40c0a1bc294c9cb7a43a2f00b2

 

Housing

[34:51]
Q. In the housing video, the exterior of each of the buildings changes, but are these all parts that can be swapped in and out?
A. Small, medium, and large houses will all have 5 basic types of houses to choose from. After that, you can change the color of the outside walls, door, windows, roof, roof material, chimney, weather vane, and fencing. For the inside, we've prepared a wide assortment of furniture items, as well as a number of furnishings with a very Final Fantasy feel to them. Naturally, the art team has designed each item to fit the setting of Eorzea. Giving players a chance to really live in Eorzea through housing, we look forward to showing players that FFXIV is about more than just fighting.

[37:06]
Q. Will the areas where we build houses be determined by Grand Company affiliation?
A. Not at all. You'll be able to build a house in whichever housing area you like.

[37:36]
Q. How much will it cost to purchase land and a house?
A. I know you're all dying to know, but unfortunately the pricing for small, medium sized, and large houses is still undecided. We understand this makes it difficult to save up for a house, but first we'd like to get more gil circulating in the market. We will finalize prices after taking a look at the economy just before patch 2.1. We apologize for making you wait until the very last minute.

[39:03]
Q. We know free company housing will come first, but when are you planning to introduce individual player housing?
A. We would like to introduce this as soon as possible, and will be monitoring server conditions along with your feedback as we decide on the proper timing.

[39:53]
Q. Please tell us what we can do with individual player housing. Can we set our minions to play around the house? Can we make greenhouses and fields?
A. Through updates, we're planning to make it possible for players to grow gysahl greens and hatch baby chocobos and raise them. Also, we’re planning underground workshops where crafters can build boats and airships.

[41:07]
Q. Will anyone from the free company be able to arrange furniture in the house?
A. This will depend on the authority given to free company members.

[41:50]
Q. Will gil be the only way to purchase free company housing?
A. Our initial plan is for players to use gil. We will consider other methods as we monitor the economy on each server, but this is something we'd like to discuss thoroughly before reaching a decision.

[42:47]
Q. Will players have access to market boards, retainers, and NPC vendors from within the housing areas or their house?
A. We are planning to let players place shops similar to those you’d find in towns in their houses and hire NPCs to manage them. Also, it will be possible to setup stands outside of your house and hire free company retainers to sell items for you. The entire housing area is going to become one huge market.

[43:12]
Q. We understand that furniture can be crafted, but, will all crafter classes be able to get involved?
A. Culinarians, for example, will be able to cook dishes to adorn tables, gatherers will supply materials needed for crafting, and Disciples of War and Magic will find rare items from enemies used to make unique decorative items. There will be something for everyone to do.

Hmmm this is a good post. I vote for Limsa housing. but that's just because I have an affinity to water. but sense our guild is of the Twin Adler, Maybe choose Gridania housing. Tree houses can be just as cool as Ocean view housing
