It's house or room necessary to play the game?

[strangerblues]

As the title sayed, is there any need to buy a house or room, to play the game? Are there any restriction?

[hagare]

no. Only for your fun if you like it.
In real life though, kinda necessary

[i2ttoi]

No need to purchase.

Restricted to one personal house per character. However, an Apartment is recommended as they do not expire if you unsubscribe for forty five days or more-like personal houses do, and you automatically gain access to the chocobo stables and mogmail NPC at the building, teleport included.

[Lixire]

Not at all

[causality]

No.

No, You can use an inn room whenever you want to access your glamour/etc stuff.

Owning a house requires a constant sub payment. If you don't enter your house within 2 weeks I think it is, it gets marked to be auto demolished.

Apartments however you can keep as long as you want I believe. You pay the 500k gil fee and it's yours, So if you're worried about your sub status, go for an apartment. If you don't have 500k someone might be nice and give it to you, it's literal couch change to some people.

No, a house is not needed at all. Only useful for farming seeds, but you can do that with an apartment just slower. Apartments are considerably cheaper and permanent, too, but you don't NEED them either.

If you do want an apartment though and you don't have 500k, don't worry. It seems like a lot early game, but at end-game with all daily roulette, retainers etc etc you get that gil FAST.

nope not mandatory but they help save some money if want to lvl up your chocobo past rank 12 using thavnairan seeds to grow the onions is cheaper than buying then directly

If you want access to a chocobo stable, you need at least an apartment. AFAIK that's really the only thing you NEED it for for the rest of the game.

Nobody needs a video game house. Just play the game!

An Inn is all you need, if you want to level chocobo like other ppl said then go for it. Imo chocobos are pretty useless, your char alone is more than strong enough to kill anything and if you want to fly just play the game you get mounts easily.
Never bothered past 1st chocobo quest as they are just annoying have a minion if you want a follower. And there is never an instance in the game where you cant tank something on your own

Chocobo is actually very helpful to new people, especially glass cannons. Having a pet healer running along with you can save you a few deaths. Also a decent damage add if your a solo healer that well help speed things up. Found a use for it healing with duo dps teams with no healer doing higher fates and such.

If you want a Chocobo Stable to change your Chocobos color, or to do any Gardening you need a house/apartment.

Otherwise you only need a house/apartment to avoid the shame of being a globe trotting hero who lives in a Hotel.

Thats a good point. Personally I always played solo leveled most type of jobs without needing chocobo so i was speaking through exp. But sure it can be helpful

[strangerblues]

I also like to play the game solo, adventuring for me means playing solo.

Do not get a house. They are kind of a scam in the sense that once you have a house, you can’t unsub. They force you to interact with your house once in a while or else you lose the house. So it’s basically to trick ppl into having to keep paying subs even when they take a break from the game. Smart people never buys a house in ff14.
