FiF XIV’s player housing to include over 300 custom parts

[Charinida]

Player Housing will be making its grand debut in Eorzea come FFXIV’s 2.1 patch and with it a place to call your own in any one of the game’s three city-states – Limsa Lominsa, Gridania or Ul’dah.

Meant for personal use or a place where Free Companies can gather, player housing will offer up over 300 custom parts for construction – including special Final Fantasy themed items. Things like tables, chairs and even carpets can be crafted by some of the game’s player classes and special items can be obtained by defeating certain enemies, such as Ifrit.

Yoshida and the team hope to also add chocobo stables, furniture that offers bonuses for Free Companies, and even a place where crafters can work in peace. Housing won’t be cheap, however – Yoshida claims it’ll cost you quite a bit to get a place of your own, and not just the money earned from playing through a single class. Patch 2.1 will surface sometime later this year with further patches following three months after that.

this is why im working hard on crafting to make millions and buy a big house :P

Must start crafting, must earn more. I am way too ecstatic about creating and building a home.

Slowly building up my wealth, and I cannot wait for housing!

[Dragonskin]

I like how they specifically say that furniture could give bonuses to the free company. I remember in FFXI so many people getting furniture for the rumored benefit it supposedly gave you... some of it could have been superstition, but I had the stuff too just in case haha.

We should all buy in the same neighborhood. I'm buying the Scarface house on the beach (Limsa). Don't even look at it.

Time to start guild bake sales to fund our villa.

I'm horrible at making money ... so anyone need a roommate?! I can't promise I won't be lazy and just watch tv on my mooglecouch all day.

[Heden]

any indications on what the cost will be for housing?

[radius]

All I've heard is it will cost more than what you make through questing alone, so most likely I think they will be around 300k, 500k, and 1 million gil.

Also, I'm willing to bet carpenters will suddenly become a very profitable once 2.1 comes out.
