So word on the street is that the new housing district, Shirogane, will be only available to FC's initially. However, I have not been able to find confirmation of this.
Could someone please confirm if this is true and provide some sort of proof?

Lol.. if someone had proof if would be all over the forums by now
It's just rumored as such because of the way they've talked about moving, always listing off all the fc only features that moving would ensure the safe passage of.
honestly if they made it fc only i think theyd get a lot of hell for it. It's basically punishing personal house owners for not making their house an fc
I mean the system in general kinda punishes you for that? Airships are so awesome and private rooms are cool too.
IF SE is dumb enough to open Shiro to FC's only first, they need to only open up X of the 12 districts (say, half) and then open they rest to everyone. If it ends up being FC's only do you realize how many people are going to power level an FC to 6 (hint: it's extremely easy unless you are a new player with no capitial or professions....)???? It will be an absolute PR disaster.
I really wish people would stop with the "FC only" mumbo jumbo. Pfft.
It was in a Q&A at the European fanfest, Yoshi was asked and he replied along the lines of they were undecided and would continue to monitor up to release. I think its unlikely it'll be initially FC only but those thinking it's a complete fabrication are wrong, I was there.
I think they should have FC-First Housing. Time delay private purchases. It helps the greatest number of people because
- FC's have more than one person to benefit from housing
- Helps to alleviate some of the issues with 1 account buying up all the lots on alts for resale
On servers like Balmung, if it was FC only, there would be literally no houses left in Shirogane for personal housing.
I don't know about that. Balmung has REALLY thinned out, we might be ok?
The only thing that would accomplish is a lot of shell FCs holding onto plots until they can swap them to personal housing.
I think FC housing would have been much better than personal. But they should have never shared same wards to begin with.
Before Balmung for Stormblood, 2.3 housing and 3.3 housings were taken less than 1 hour. Even if some people left and there are people who are booted out during prime time, it's still considered congested and barely calling it "thinned out". Shirogane will be sold out really fast in this server.
I mean we went from having a 3 hour queue, to having a half an hour queue. I would say we thinned out. A LOT. But yes I'm very very aware of the housing situation on Balmung.
