Final Fantasy XIV is an MMORPG with many different elements, not just battles and intense raiding communities, though those are a big part of what makes the game what it is. In a broader sense, however, Final Fantasy XIV is a large socializing game with extensive housing features and designs for players to tinker with.

Aside from personal and FC housing, players who cannot afford their own house due to the large amount of Gil required or the limited amount of housing available can go to the apartments available in any housing ward, which is a cheaper and easier alternative to a house.

While players could not do outdoor gardening or exterior house design, apartments still allow them to design their indoor housing in any way they want, as well as gain access to personal NPCs such as the Mender, an item shop, and direct and close access to the Market Board without having to travel to one of the game's major cities.

This article aims to promote the existence of apartments to fellow FFXIV players and demonstrate their potential by displaying some of the designs and interiors created by the players. All videos in this article are credited to the YouTube link source and the owner of all image captures.
