So, Shirogane release?

Still no new about it even with LL XXXVII. Are they planning a furtive release or what?

Last official word was 4.1x, but I don't have the source handy. It was an interview with Yoshi P right around the release of SB though.

I really wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait until 4.15 or 4.2. Then again even patches are always raid with odd ones being odd non-raid stuff (including 24-man raids) so 4.1 seems viable... Which is like... Geez. like 2.5 months? Maybe more if they're taking a break like they did after HW release.

Famitsu: Information on Shirogane was missing in the PLL, but when will it be implemented?
Yoshida: It's a while away, so you won't have to worry about that yet.
Famitsu: In other words, do you mean to release it in patch 4.2?
Yoshida: No, I won't wait until patch 4.2. I think it will be somewhere in patch 4.1.

Its hard waiting for it lol

On one hand, I want it now so the anticipation will be over. On the other hand, more money means more time to save for a larger home and / or to craft or buy desired furniture.

part of my fc said one of the live letters stated it was in October.

Don't forget to spend excess company seals on aetherytes. They'll be selling like hotcakes once the new housing district is added - especially if we see more wards added to the existing districts.

i think that the reason they are hesitant to speak on official release of Shirogane housing is due to the fact they are trying to come up with applicable solutions to appease most of the community without causing an uproar or making it so that people don't get their hopes up too high if they lose out on getting a house =/ in all likely hood though i have a feeling their answer to our concerns will just be like this: "we'll be extending the amount apartments for players to buy, and with that in mind we've noticed players have a tendency to abandon older districts in favor of the newer 1s so rest assured everyone has a chance to get a place of their own."

There's already 2,160 more apartments on the way once Shirogane opens itself up for purchases. So far it appears Balmung is still the only server that sold out of apartments and since it's been months since that was a thing, I very much doubt they're going to be adding additional in anytime soon.

More like when is Heavensward coming. Still waiting on housing there. Shirogane is fugly anyway

Honestly I will be happy to have an apartment. Being on a larger server, I know for a fact having a house of my own is impossible at the moment.

They're obviously putting together preventative measures to stop people buying multiple plots. We just don't know how the restriction will materialise yet

Could have always just bought one when a bunch got freed up after a number of people left Balmung during that free transfers off period. Which is what I did. Managed to finally nab an apartment in The Mist thanks to that.

He should release it without any word he did so that people who check it regulerly get first cas it would be funny to see the entitlement flow through the rich wile the poor scoop up a house XD

Waiting until 4.1 or a bit more is overall a good idea.

By that time the last of the fair-weather MMO hoppers will have swapped or decided to stay, so there's less likely to be a 'massive' strain on the servers or an influx of houses that just get abandoned and demolished months down the line.

Screw shirogane!!! :D Open up Hingashi! Need an NPC from limsa named Admiral Perry and three black war ships.

I am fairly certain on servers like Balmung, the Shirogane plots will be gone in less than 5 minutes. How long did it take to sell all plots when they doubled the wards?

I would be curious to see if they introduce any FC first measures. Like keeping the new wards exclusive for FC for a couple of days before opening them to the general market.

If we could build a shirogane-style house in other housing areas, I'd be happy. Did SE ever say why we couldn't do that? I get wanting all houses to look somewhat similar, but we also have moogle houses, piassa houses, and chocobo houses. xD Model homes kind of went out the window, so I don't see why they don't open it up so you can build any kind of house in any area.

We will see it released with Ishgard housing and the ability to see custom player mods in game. I'm betting shortly after they add the in game player dps monitor.

FYI: The above post is humor. ^_^

Balmung will be the sequel to Gone in 60 seconds.

As much as I have been utterly disappointed lately. They can't release it on 4.1 with all the server issues they have had. 4.1X on a minor update patch where it is just the new district added makes the most sense. Also puts it before 4.2.

They have also not announced the decision for FC or personal to start. They have also not announced any measures to combat the unfairness of the login system. Basically they haven't given any important information. But who knows maybe it will be a mess like everything else lately.

Same goes with all household stuff. It's like when they added the extra wards value of garden furnishings and thibgs like ponds shot up through the roof.

I expect shirogane will be the same.
