Housing

 

 

     An abandoned, underground dwarf castle that has been remodeled as an apartment complex. To reach the complex, residents will have to use a slow mineshaft elevator to a long underground tunnel. They can rent a golf cart for an extra 1 SP per cart or walk. There are two floorplans available: "The Barracks" and "Adamantite."
 

 
 

     The Barracks is an abandoned room found in the old castle ruins that has been restored. The bedroom is an old sleeping quarters and holds up to six people. Each person is responsible for their own rent and lease, so they have no say in who lives in The Barracks with them.

     The Adamantite plan is a one bedroom unit that is located just beside the castle itself above a local blacksmith's shop. The only major downside to these apartments is that you have to walk through the blacksmith's shop to get to your rooms and there isn't much sound proofing between your apartment and the noisy shop, which stays open late on weekends.

     On the outskirts of town lies a complex that likes to pretend it isn't in any town. It has a small, electronically powered waterfall and a stream in the middle, which only works half the time. Sheep roam freely around the complex and a bunch of bards (also referred to as singing homeless people). It has two floorplans available: "Romeo's Ballad" and "Leviathan." All of the units here are separate buildings, so it feels more like your own little (very little) house.
 

 
 

     Romeo's Ballad is a studio apartment. The model is decorated to make it look huge, but once you get your own things in it you'll realize how very small it is. Also, there's a bit of a bug problem here, especially termites. They love this wooden apartment. But hey, it has a fireplace and the rent is cheap.

     Leviathan is the large model at the complex. It has a lot of the same qualities as the "Romeo's Ballad" unit such as a fireplace, bugs (specifically termites), and cheap rent, but it also has two bedrooms, which makes it easier to overlook those problems.

     Empire Estates is the perfect suburb. A small cul-de-sac where every house looks the same. Or else! The colors are the same. Or else! The lawns and general yard care is the same. Or else! Even the view inside your front window should be similar. Or else! Or else what, you ask? Nobody knows, but you get really threatening letters if something is wrong, and nobody has dared to not make the fix. Not after the Johnsons mysteriously disappeared for the dead patch in their lawn. . . .
 

 
 

     Vector is the only floorplan in the suburb. It has two bedrooms and is a very nice apartment. It is one of the few complexes that allows you to have your own yard, which is a perk to some, but you need to read through the yard-use handbook to know not only how to care for your yard, but what hours you may use your yard. There are a lot of rules here, but it's a pretty nice place. Not the best, but good.

     This is by far the largest complex. It is massive and has such a wide spread of housing quality, size, and cost. The complex is like a miniature model of Midgar and is like a bullseye with the rich in the center and the poor on the outside. The center of the bullseye are the "Executive" units in a large tower. Surrounding that are the "Cetra's Garden" units. The outer rim is a collection of mostly "Sector 7" units, with the occasional "Turtle's Paradise" units. The "T.G.A.S." is simply a term given for the freeloaders that live in the old, discarded pipes that used to provide ventilation and plumbing to the Executive Tower.
 

 
 

     T.G.A.S. is not a verified unit on the complex. Security doesn't care about the people living in these old pipes, but they definitely keep their eye on these "residents" and make sure they stay far, far away from the Executive Tower. Any plumbing and electrical in these pipes is somehow rigged by the residents themselves (extension cords and a shovel, anybody?)

     Turtle's Paradise is a unit that sits on top of a gun shop. The unit itself is made of metal, so be very careful of any exposed electrical currents. It is a one bedroom that requires you walk through the gun shop to reach your apartment.

     Sector 7 is the smallest duplex you've ever seen. It has two bedrooms, but there are so many walls in this tiny space that it's actually more an inconvenience than a benefit. Stay away if you're claustrophobic, but if not, then the price isn't too bad.

     Cetra's Garden is the nicest unit you can find at ShinRa House outside of the Executive Tower. It is the borderline between poverty and beauty as there is a beautiful garden surrounding the executive tower. This garden extends halfway through the ring of Cetra's Garden units, which means from the front of your house, you have a lovely view of a garden and the Executive Tower. From the back of your house, you have a nasty view of stinky people living in crappy houses and pipes.

     Executive, often called Executive Tower, is the best you can get. The units themselves aren't too mind-blowingly awesome. There's a TV in the wall and a nice bed, plus a lot of room, but not much else. The rest of the tower, however, is your benefit. Huge workout rooms, relaxation rooms, a cafeteria, movie theater, and so much more! And the best part is that you can't get in without an Executive keycard. Sure, sometimes somebody with a keycard will let in his poverty-stricken friends, but still, this tower is better than the rest of the city. Only downside? You have to live alone here. The more people there are, the less exclusive it is, after all. . . .

     Caraway Manor is a large mansion at the end of town that is renting out entire wings of the mansion to people. They come at a high cost, but they are very large, elegant models. Both the "Fury" and "Heartilly" designs are identical except that the Heartilly has an extra bedroom and is slightly larger. Both include bedrooms, bathrooms, and their own private living room. The only downside to this establishment is that you have to share a common space with all other residents. The kitchen will be the hardest thing for people to share, but it's a huge kitchen. And as an upside, there's a staff working here, so leave the dirty dishes in the sink. They'll take care of them later.

     Yes, this is actually a castle. It's constructed similarly to Ipsen's Castle, only that bottom half is actually underground. Residents enter through the main gate, then there is a staircase down to the other rooms, called the "Dungeon" rooms, while the "King" rooms are on the main floor. There is a large, beautiful courtyard that all residents can enjoy. It is, of course, on the main level. All of the units are large, three bedroom models that are directly on top of each other, meaning the "Dungeon" units are directly beneath the "King" units and get to hear all of their footsteps and vacuum cleaners.
 

 
 

     Dungeon began as a term for the maintenance area beneath the units. They were not designed to be units, but the site manager wanted more money, so they were converted. They try to be good units, but with a large generator and septic tank in the middle of your living room, it's hard to care about much else (except maybe the rat problem).

     King is a great unit for a group of successful people. Each unit is almost like a fraternity of sorority house for rich kids. Beautiful view, comfortable rooms, and it's even prefurnished. It's living in a castle, only updated to be more comfortable. Just ignore those suffering in the basement below.

     You're living in Swing City! Singles only, man! We've filtered out the teases and now only single men and women can live in this dream resort. Whether you have a penthouse in the tower ("Duggle" plan) or a boat on the harbor ("Abe" plan), you're going to enjoy your stay here. After all, each of the units are centered around the bedroom. . . .
 

 
 

     The Duggle units are all in a large tower. Elevator doors open up and bam! There's your pad! They're not the best units ever, but do you really care!? You're living in #^%@ city! It's typically a girly unit with all the hearts everywhere, but whatever gets chicks, right?

     The Abe units are all houseboats in a small lake. Very small. Don't plan on boating here, it's just a chance for rich people to live on water. Maybe you can drive out a short distance to have an awesome party or something. The units themselves are classy and very spacious for houseboats. A great place to live...unless you can't swim.

     The floating apartment complex of Bhujerba Sky Gardens orbits the city to avoid any storms and bad scenery it can. There's a shuttle station that will provide transit to the complex and even shuttle you to whichever side you're on. There's an abandoned mine by the "Wrecks" model. Meanwhile, on the more luxurious side of the complex is the "Marquis" model that is always facing the way with the best view.
 

 
 

     Wrecks is a small one bedroom apartment that is very bland. Maybe you can spice it up a bit, but the plain walls, standard square design, and one small window, it might bore you to death if you don't do something special. Think colors when decorating this. Your view is constantly terrible, and there's a weird smell coming from the mine, so you might keep your one window closed a lot. . . .

     Marquis is a very elegant model. It's spacious, stylish, and has a large balcony that the complex owners try to always face toward something beautiful. You'll experience both the sunrise and sunset every day, and if possible, you'll be moved to avoid poor weather contitions. It's a large model and has two bedrooms.

     This apartment by the water is a great place to relax and have a carefree existance. It loves fireworks displays though, which can be loud at nights and will drive any pets bonkers, which is why pets are not allowed here. The "L'Cie" design is right on the beach and great for avid beach-goers, while the "Fal'Cie" model is a bit farther away, but has a breathtaking view.
 

 
 

     L'Cie is a rather large one bedroom apartment right on the beach. It's a very relaxing environment with complimentary beachside equipment like chairs and volleyball supplies. It's a beautiful place, just beware of any storms; high tide already brings the water levels close to the apartment.

     Fal'Cie is a huge two bedroom apartment just inland from the beach. It even has an exclusive section of the beach that is closed off to non-Fal'Cie residents. There are several vending machines inside that are completely free to residents, even though the food tastes kinda funny. Still, a perk is a perk. The balconies overlook the fireworks display over the water, making this a truly breathtaking apartment.
