Another idea to help with housing, Foundation wards please. (snow houses)

The person I tend to post for loves the snow and would enjoy having a house in a snowy area theme. I am wondering why we got housing wards in Shirogane and not around the foundation.

Housing in Foundation was originally planned, and it was supposed to come out shortly after heavensward. For this reason or that reason it kept getting delayed until finally they just scrapped it. We're probably never going to get it now. It's a shame because snowy housing would honestly be wonderful.

They never said it was never going to happen. In fact, they showed a very strong interest in working on it in the future.

Developers are going by plot basis whereas 3.x had several conflicting events in Ishgard and even at the end of 3.55, Ishgard is still in the process of repairing their city.

We might see it in future 4.x or even 5.x . Don't give up just yet.

One option that constantly arrises with the idea of Ishgard themed homes is the fact we sould technically have the wards set in Coerthas Eastern Highlands, Churning Mists, or Sea of Clouds.

Though I'd love a wintery homestead, the other options would make for really beautiful, fantasy scenery.

Sea of Clouds is the perfect place to get "instanced" plots, everybody gets their own little island.

I actually like the idea of the Churning Mists, too. I like being outside while that awesome lightning cloud effect is going on. It's strangely peaceful to me.

I would honestly hate that, the zone is SO bland. Churning mist (or even azyz lla at a stretch) floating islands would be so much better

different strokes? Churning Mists is brown and nasty.

the real point was instead of a full housing ward, it would be more apartment like but also have an outdoor area and you can just go there from the Ishgard Airship Landing.

Probably something to do with Ishgard getting bombarded by an army of dragons.

Yeah that can help, but I still want to see a snow theme housing area

I disagree with "story" getting in the way of functionality but that is just me. Then at that point you can just use the story to make empty excuses.

FFXIV is a heavily story driven game. I don't see the devs allowing a major feature of the game to painfully obviously clash with the story.

Kugane was left mostly untouched by the Empire because of political reasons, it makes sense that it has the facilities for player housing. Ishgard has just ended centuries of war and recently suffered a dragon army attack directly on the city. They barely have had time to repair their own city never mind build a new housing district.

Not saying I don't like the idea of housing in Coerthas. But for storyline reasons it makes sense that they're not available yet.

Does not change my view, story should NEVER conflict with functionally. basic functionality and game play >( example say there was a bug about how one summons fairies)> story. Story, should not be more important to that.

I did not get the memo when buying this game that would hint at story getting in the way of functionality, I will not agree to it. So no it does not make sense to me

Since your view doesn't conflict with functionality, I hope they release Ishgard housing in repairing/damaged processed for you.

The moment you buy the plot and you build it with permit, it has the skin default of a giant hole on the roof. And you can't use other Workshop skins.

lol its like saying The spear turned from cd reduction to Crit.
Or a excuse how to manipulate ur aether to change ur garuda egi into a silly carbuncle egi at level 60-70 which is silly to see level 70 smn doing neo exdeath with a frkn carbuncle.

They could ard a excuse like "we got a estate protected by a barrier bla bla" or something.
