Been filling out space besides the loft and fake window area, was aiming for a more gloomy/ishgard feel. All the music is soft piano based music to kinda give that more feel as well. Main goal to have the opposite to Hildy’s bright and open house that tends to play the agent of inquiry and daring dalliances songs. Added more knickknacks and paintings since Briardien does travel a lot, felt appropriate. Had an excuse to use some blue model ships so went for it.
I like how even their yards feel like opposites, aiming for Briar’s place to feel more private with closed in hedges. Even the actual plot itself aides itself to that with its own natural private fencing.
Killed Pazuzu at level 19 finally, got my 355 weapon, and got the housing item Alter of Pazuzu! Sadly it doesn’t stay on, you have to click it for a temp wind vortex effect.
With the new event shelf, I was excited at possibly having loft stairs using far less item slots, but there was a problem:
BUT as I found out on Reddit, Noranda discovered something special about the merchant walls.
You can actually set them low enough so there’s no gaps! And as a player with a taller character, any little bit or room helps lol
ALSO NOTE since the patch, you can swap out your outer walls freely without destroying your old one!
WOW I AM NOT BRIGHT. AT ALL. LIKE NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY SMART. I read this and thought, oh the merchant shelf ..that will bridge the distance between my shelves and the loft.. I didn’t fully realize that they had swapped the exterior skin because I am a slow-mo.

IT WORKED OUT?!!?!?!
SO THANK YOU FOR THE UNINTENTIONAL ADVICE IT WORKED OUT VERY WELL FOR ME.
(Building off my previous post!) So with further experimenting, I was able to make a loft that could be slept on–AND low enough that the new stairs can be connected to the troupe stage.
I’ll probably work with a futon in a bit, but I’m almost fairly certain it’d be possible to mostly hide it.
I’m in a private house, the loft trick only works on windows and doors, but the FC door is still ‘there’ kinda even though I’m in a private house. The placemet zone is actually WAY bigger? I could force different heights with the bed and stage with more leeway.
Unlike the front/side windows, the placement zone of the lofts is actually fairly big.
Actually pretty much anything I tried worked on that spot too. (I’m kinda sad I couldn’t get my poor Ananta NPC up higher, it would have been so cute to have her just chilling in a loft hot tub)
200/200 items, only 10 regular sized moogles this time! They get their own little break room area on the ledge now. the Mandragora family is still hidden around the house, though some were moved.
I’m really happy with how Mogsamillion’s new desk area turned out. The house is like a bed and breakfast run mainly by moogles. They mostly get along?
“No smoking, kupo.” (rofl lil collab me and Tara did after we finally finished)
Edit: We’re on Balmung, Mists Ward 2, plot 50! Feel free to take a peek if you’d like!
Some progress of Hildibrand’s private house me and @tarajenkins did today. Still hammering out downstairs a bit more but the basic layout is complete. Still got roughly 50+ slots at least we aren’t hurting for space this time lol.
