  • Ever wonder how big houses in FFXIV actually are? I did the measurement! I also calculated how much you spend per block of land, furniture density and how many spaces in each house are optimal!

      I'd like to add that the balcony door was functional at some point a long time ago in the game but its functionality was removed because it caused too many issues when trying to enter or exit the house from somewhere other than the front door.

  • @sariarosegold
    @sariarosegold Рік тому +21

    from everything i've seen, both working on and visiting the Large houses, its like they are designed for you to wall part of it off. theres no need to try to use every room of a mansion and generally makes it look empty. walling a portion of it off increases your furnishing options, and also lets you shape the house the way you want, creating designs that make it feel like not every house has the exact same floorplan, even though they do. this is also made painfully obvious in the large, as not walling it off anywhere makes the entryway of every single large look "samey" thanks to the massive dual staircase taking up a ton of space as the main focus of the ground floor.

    I've been explaining furniture density and slot to size ratios for years in FFXIV. Thank you for providing a visual source to which I can point people when I am teaching them basic designing. I would highly recommend editing that mistake you made with the balcony door, as it is WELL known and bemoaned by the housing community as a nonfunctional fixture that gets in the way.

      I dont like the looks of large, at all! Way too much open space, with the big stairs in the middle. It looks more like a MSQ NPC house than something to "live" in. Medium is perfect, you have little nooks and crannies you can fill out.

    The sad thing about larges is you get all this space but you cant even use it because there's a limited number of furnishings you can place. So most people i see who have larges literally block sizeable parts of it off because they couldnt decorate those areas even if they wanted to. I JUST bought a small recently and I kind of already want to upgrade to a medium, but they're hard to come by and i need to raise more money before i can do that xD

    Thanks for providing floor plans all in one place. Thinking in terms of blocks is helpful and straightforward. But even casual and new home owners can make good use of what you call sub optimal blocks with a little experimentation. Even a small can be made spacious or cosy, simple or complex depending on what you do with it, and with minimal glitching if you don't want to get into that, although really it's not that complicated. The complicated part is figuring out a design, a plan that you want to live with since despite all the limitations, columns, windows, and doorways, these houses are almost blank slates.

  • @kumikohirasawa8126
    @kumikohirasawa8126 Рік тому +16

    The furniture number you came up with is interesting but if you know how to utilize the space given and know how to glitch housing items you can make the illusion of more or less space. Most designers that know how to glitch very well can also use those pathway blocks to great effect without restricting your movement and going in and out of the house. Sure like you said you can’t just put anything in those areas you gotta do a little bit of playing around and some research. People that are lucky enough to even get a house and design one can be quite the under taking.

    • @Munbalance
      @Munbalance  Рік тому +5

      oh for sure. professional house designers will make gold out of anything, furniture glitching is an option for sure but not one I really wanted to mention since its kinda sorta not allowed(?)
      That being said, even with glitching, you generally have more freedom in a square without walls since even if you glitch walls into existence, you can't take away the base walls from the house itself.

      You can't get personal housing rooms like the fcs but... you can do it like this. One of you buys the house and you can grant access to another player for your house.
      Me and my husband do this, I bought a large and gave him access so he can move, change, add or remove things and he can use everything placed within the house :) it will also appear on their teleport list the same as your fc house does.
