The Next Housing District

Sharlayan is the most logical choice. Crystarium is the one I'd prefer in terms of design, but in terms of lore it's pretty unjustifiable.

Sharlayan would be a good location for a housing district,

and i want Apartments in Crystarium, especialy because they got a different room layout.

I would love to have a housing district in Thavnair/Radz-at-Han since that's where Minaa was born. Thavnair is very colorful and it would be like LB and Mist combined and just look how beautiful that sunset is too :3

Tree Houses anyone?

i would rather they focused on making a proper instance housing first before adding a new district to home all us adventurers but other than that i really would love it to have a floating island in the sea of clouds it would be so nice to just float above eorzea looking down from above the clouds and just basking in the sun and the swimming pool area could be like a large pond area with lily pads or something and like a waterfall with a rainbow overheard during sunny weather :D

Going to be one of the first things on my to do list after completing MSQ and getting crafting/gathering leveled.

They probably won't do it. But I really wish the next district to become Solution 9.

I feel like the whole introduction of the residential area was to tee up potential player housing wards at some point in the future. I would say the strongest contenders for housing one day would be Sharlayan, Solution Nine, and Garlemald if they ever complete their restoration.

Tulliyollal would be far more idea, the BGM is even good for it.

Oh please no. It's horrible all dark and purple and no life nor windows. The good side is that it is very unlikely as all past expansions have chosen the main city with the MB and since time moves faster there it would be a no go.

Its only unjustifiable until Shtola figures out how to create a stable portal to her ManCat BF. After that its just a matter of time for Crystarium.

To be honest though, I'd much rather they create Garlean Restoration and give us a Ward outside of one of our main cities. It would open up alot of choices, Like Radz-at-Han.

Id be happy with a trailer home parked in kriles backyard at this point.
I am so tired of not having a house, Ive made alt characters and even made my own FC in an attempt to put multiple bids in and for the time this bid system has been in place I have never owned a home and am tired of saving my gil for something that won't happen.

I'm not sure where to ask this but I was wondering if they said anything about making apartments bigger?

It was mentioned in passing as a "we're considering" during an interview around the start of Stormblood (had been in response to Shiro selling out so quickly and players wanting more housing options if I remember correctly).

If the Housing Mirage comments from last year were translated correctly, then SE has come up with a system for players to set the interior size of their houses. There is additional speculation that it could be extended to apartments as well as houses.

But I want to stress that there has been concern that the translation was incorrect. We may be hoping for something that isn't happening. The x.1 patches seem to be when they prefer to release the major housing updates so with luck we won't have to wait too much longer to find out.

I personally believe they gave quite a few hints in EW that the next housing district will be on the moon.

That would be great if they'd add new housing districts to the game. It would help out a lot. I've been trying to get a large plot on my server for my FC but no luck. The other day there was one plot on Shirogane available and we were 91 bidders. They should also change the availability to both FC and Privatte, and also let only one person per FC to be able to bid for a plot.
Anyways, as of now we have:
From A Realm Reborn there are 3 districts
* The Lavander Bed (Gridania)
https://images6.alphacoders.com/635/...920-635087.jpg
* The Goblet (Ul'Dah)
https://www.creativeuncut.com/galler...ah-housing.jpg
* The Mist (Limsa Lominsa)
https://www.creativeuncut.com/galler...sa-housing.jpg
From Heavensward there is 1 district
* The Empyreum (Ishgard)
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/46/e1...fe587969db.png
From Stormblood there is 1 district
* Shirogane (Kugane)
https://www.creativeuncut.com/galler...4sb-kugane.jpg
From Shadowbringer there are 0 districts
* Crystarium possible
https://www.creativeuncut.com/galler...crystarium.jpg
* Eulmore possible
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7c/12...fa3f3517d5.jpg
From Endwalker there are 0 districts
* Old Sharlayan possible
https://64.media.tumblr.com/d2abb06f...95509a0164.png
* Radz at han possible
https://www.creativeuncut.com/galler...adz-at-han.jpg
From Dawntrail there are 0 districts
* Tuliyollal possible
https://www.creativeuncut.com/galler...tuliyollal.jpg
* Solution 9 possible
https://www.creativeuncut.com/galler...ution-nine.jpg
I think it would help out a lot with the housing problem if each expantion would have a housing district. Don't think it will ever happen though. ;.;

I hope not, I don't want another fauna less, grey area and the moon doesn't even have a day cycle either. After grey lifeless Ishgard the next one is hopefully more in line with the Mist, Lavender Beds or Shirogane.

Agreed… if they go with the most obvious choice of Old Sharlayan, I really hope they strike a good balance between the natural beauty of the area versus the center of the city. I don’t want another all marble/stone city, especially when OS has such great trees, ponds, streams and rocky beaches!

I really want Thavnair because it would be a mix of LB and Mist and the colorful environment is so pleasing and cheerful even, not like Ishgard that feels depressing to live in, same as Old Sharlayan, snow areas just look depressing to me.

Solution 9 would be great for an all apartment type housing zone or even instanced with the apartments being able to have sizes range from small to mansion size. There could also be a large balcony that allows you to use it as a yard for outdoor decorations and have it overlooking the city below, Solution 9 in my opinion would be a perfect test bed for instanced housing.

They only mentioned making a size S house interior into a large interior. So, they didn't mention apartments. But I would think if you can turn an S into an L, why not turn an apartment into an L? It's the same principle and it would alleviate the housing crisis a lot because the housing crisis mainly exists due to people not being satisfied with the size of an apartment

Once apartments start encroaching on plot sized. It begs the question of why would anyone stick to a ward house (small) when they have to keep a Perma active sub. If you get an apartment that rivals the size but cant be demolished?


Which is why I think apartment could use a 250/300 item limit. Giving the players the ability to create multiple rooms within a apt, without need to overall change much else.

While it could be done, I’d rather see apartments get their own unique layouts in each size… a small apartment could be what we currently have, medium could be a little larger, maybe with a built-in loft with stairs up to it in the back, and large could either be multi-level and/or have an “outdoor” (instanced generic neighborhood scenery) balcony where you could have garden plots and other outdoor furnishings.

I think that would go back to my usual stance of “an apartment is housing but it is not a house.” lol That’s why I’d like to see apartments get their own unique layouts in each size… like Studio, Loft and Penthouse, using my example in my last post. One, I think it would be weird to go to your apartment door and open it to a space of a large house! But two, I like having different types of housing in the game. Apartments just need some love when it comes to variety of space!

I like Empyrean and that it's high in the mountains but did they have to give it a hot spring? I'd like a housing district with an ice surface of some kind.

Crystarium player housing is my dream, and there's even a sightseeing point where you can see a neighborhood called "Rapture"! It would be a great place for the next housing district, and I've been saving a bunch of furnishings for a few years now in hopes that it might happen.

Crystarium would be wonderful
