Shirogane Houses, for FC only?

Does anyone know about apartments? Will those be added as well alongside housing?

4.1x is when shirogane is opening

I already have a mansion and I don't like how small the lawns look in Shirogane, so it's no skin off my back. But if they release it for FC's only first, not a single plot will be left for individual players. They'll be gone 5 minutes after the servers go up. Well... I'm sure there will be lots of 2 person FC's or alt FC's that purchase the plots, so I suppose they could be sort-of counted as individual players? lol

One thing I hope is they actually implement house moving upon launch, so FC's are able to upgrade without losing everything. I happen to have a larger plot than my FC, but that's only because no one wanted to give up airships etc.

Housing in Shirogane will work as housing in any other residential area. Costs and access will be exactly the same and yes there will be apartments as well.

If they do make Shirogane FC only when it first opens, I sincerely hope that they do not announce it before the servers go down. If people have time to prep beforehand then (even more than normal) people will have 1-person 'shell FCs' ready and waiting to swoop in and get houses for their private use, completely defeating the purpose.

That being said, that's a huge 'if' and I highly doubt they will make it FC only.

I really hope they don't give priority to FCs. I want a personal mansion. :(

I'll be content if I get a medium sized house when it opens.

maybe they could have one or two wards reserverd for fc's only

FC Only Shirogane would be horrible.

It would take quite a lot of prep time beforehand. You can't just create an FC and buy a house with it. There's also the step of getting that FC up to rank 8 first, which is a significant undertaking with only one player's activities to contribute to rank points. Possible, of course, but I suspect that the majority of those who could do it already have their FC anyway.
