Any schemes to help new players onto the property ladder?

Hi there,

I heard a rumour that some homes are being repossessed or something
Is there anything in place to help new places get into the housing market? I just turned level 50 and I only have 300k gil or so but I wanted to know what I should shoot for and what possible options I might have regarding home ownership. I'm sure if I run enough dungeons I could keep up with the mortgage repayments.

You're going to need a lot more gil. A whole lot more, depending on your sever. Millions of gils. If you want a personal space ASAP i'd suggest joining a FC with a house where you can also purchase a private chambers (A room to yourself that you can decorate etc).

As far as private housing? Good luck. Most of the player base - new or not - would also like it. Competitive market you've got right there.

Cheapest is almost 15 million on my server brother

You can check the plot prices on your server from these old patch notes: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...582d59335acd84

The housing market on most servers is cornered by the rich people. Most tend to buy it up when plots are available and sell it later at higher prices for profit (or keep it for themselves or FC). That being said, it would be better for you to save up some money and shoot for obtaining either a demolished home or the additional plots that will be added in the future. I know on a richer server, you are looking at 5 mil for a small house (not sure where your server falls as far as rich or poor).

Housing is under 'Playable Content'. I LOL'd much harder than I should.

Save atleast 15M to have someone relinquish their small plot, 5M to repossess the plot. Or camp your way when SE open new plot in 3.2 (hopefully)

Nope, 3.3, which means we have 6 more months at the very least to wait, probably 8 to 10 more months in reality. The mansion thing says it's coming AFTER that, so probably 3.4, or 9 months optimistically, 12-14 months away in more realistic terms.

A4: We have confirmed that we will be increasing the amount of land for existing housing areas in Patch 3.3. After this we’re planning to introduce mansion type housing, and housing in the Ishgard area. These two are being developed in parallel, but in order to meet everyone’s demand, we will implement the mansion-type housing as a first priority. Currently it’s being planned that one mansion will be able to hold 512 residences. As for gardening, we think this will be difficult, but we’re currently developing new pots that will allow gardening, so please look forward to this.

Why would 3.3 be 8 to 10 months away? As it is 3.2 should be no more than 2 months from now. That would make 3.3 5 to 5 and a half months from now.

I challenge you to find a single patch that has been on time with the original projections since Yoshida took over, in 2011. You won't find one. There has never been one that hasn't been delayed at least twice. They're usually three+ times, but there have been a couple instances where it was only two times. Since HW came out, our 3.X patches have been significantly slower, as well. Do not expect it in less than half a year, likely quite a bit longer than that.

Heavensward (3.0): June 23, 2015
Patch 3.1: November 9, 2015

139 days between 3.0 and 3.1, which is pushing 5 months... Or roughly 20 weeks.
