As someone who has been playing the game since A Realm Reborn, it's been impressive to see how far housing has come. Truly recognized as the endgame for Final Fantasy, the team has continuously been updating, upgrading, and implementing new features.
With the introduction of new housing locations (Shirogane and Empyreum), some features showcased in the original three housing wards are discontinued. For example, Lavender Beds and Goblet have Large plots where the gate is located on the side of the house, offering a unique walkway up to the front door of the plot. Nowadays, all new Larges have the same yard where the gate entry is in the middle, which can be slightly boring.
Another challenge we face are the new housing walls being introduced. I love them!
However, with the introduction of the new Country Walls, we now have a beautiful porch hiding in the back that is out of sight (and most likely facing a wall). If it were up to me, I would love to showcase the porch over the original front entry.
That said, I am requesting a change in two (2) features of the exterior capabilities of housing.
I. The option to move/rotate houses within their plot to offer an opportunity to personalize the yards even further.
II. The option to be able to change the location of the entry gate to the yard.
These changes can not only improve the quality of life to the exterior design of housing, but can also allow implementation of exterior housing items to be maximized to their fullest potential. For example, a lot of players will knock on a Small house because it's not a Medium or a Large. They have a fantastic yard; imagine being able to rotate it 90 degrees and adjust where the gate entry is to provide a beautiful walkway instead of trying to curve/zig-zag around the yard. Now they can have something worth keeping.
