Shirogane Houses, for FC only?

A dead neighbourhood populated only by players who almost never go to their house because an individual house is pretty useless in terms of ingame features isn't a better view.
At least, FC houses are active and useful.

Have they clarified if the prices will remain the same on the day of release (eyeing a large plot) or even if the other wards' prices will reflect that of the 1st ward if the prices DO stay the same?

Possible, of course, but I suspect that the majority of those who could do it already have their FC anyway.

Rank 6 and it really doesn't take that long to get there solo, much less time if you have any help at all.

The prices are supposed to remain the same as all the other districts.

It's a moot point. Housing in Shirogane is not going to be any different than any other residential area. Speculating that it might be different without any reason to think it will be is just going to make people worry over nothing. Relax, chill out, and be ready to jump on your Shirogane property once they allow housing purchases there.

As much as I don't want to defend RPers entitlement, that's pretty biased. Most RP takes place in private homes. As well as being FC only enforces that any solo/NonFC players are locked out of Shirogane forever basically. The only way I approve of this is if they were to create different wards altogether only for FCs. That's basically locking out a huge portion of the userbase from a huge feature of the game.

People voiced their concerns about the fact that, on populated servers, FC might still not be able to get access to housing even with Shirogane, because of individual housing.
Yoshi-P said that they were still in the process of deciding what the best course of action would be. So yes, Shirogane might be FC exclusive for a short time.

"A short time"? Basically it's forcing private housing people to pay 3/4/5x the amount FC get to pay... how is that "fair"?

Honestly they made their bed by allowing both. They need to just lie in it because making it exclusive on either side is just going to be unfair in the current setup.

it's not supposed to be fair. FC houses have additional features and FC houses in theory are supposed to be used by more people.
