Stormblood housing

So it's probably been asked before but I can't seem to find it. When are we going to be able to purchase property in the new area?

They haven't given a date. Though to me the way they said things it was implied it'd be about 2+ weeks after launch.

I would agree 2 weeks or more... maybe even 4.1. It sucks not knowing.

Ugh I hate it because you don't know what's going to happen I just want to be ready lol..

Wish we can at least get more video/screenshot of the interior designs.

I just hope all the plots don't disappear after 30 seconds from introducing it. Excal server here and its extremely hard to get housing.

There's actually a couple of big advantages to the wait, when you think about it!

A) You don't have to rush through the story, so we'll actually get to enjoy it before we start slitting each others' throats over real estate.

B) They've stated that Shirogane will be accessible from launch, the plots just won't be purchasable until a later date. That means that you can actually tour the wards at your leisure, pick your preferred plots, and know exactly where you want to go when they do go up for sale, rather than rushing in blind, and just having to settle for the first thing you can grab.

As someone who's planning to pick up an FC house in Shirogane, I LOVE that there's a wait for these reasons.

What I'm paranoid about is if these new houses cost more then the older plots...

I can afford a cottage easily... almost getting a medium sized.

However if the cost jumps... I'm not sure about even a cottage

The last official words regarding prices is that it will remain the same. Hopefully the upcoming LL on E3 stream will talk about this again.

Anyone know if the moving feature will be applied to Mist > Mist or like Uldah > Mist?

I don't think it was programmed to have any area restrictions, just pick an open plot and select to move there. That's a pure assumption though, they've not said anything specifically about area restrictions and we likely won't have additional information on it until it's active unless they specify it in the patch notes.

If one moved the FC house to Shirogane how would sprouts access the house? Would they be MSQ locked out of that area?

If you're a tenant/fc member of someone/fc that owns a shirogane house they can teleport in, they just can't leave the area without the expansion.

I want them to just have it in 4.2 patch notes as a foot note. And have patch notes "delayed." The mad scramble would be nothing short of a riot.

Glad they're not bringing attention to it. People can wait and actually look at what they paid for with the world itself first.
