Reality Check: Personal housing delayed to 2.35+

[Vactus]

If memory serves, the "six months" thing was actually promised to be how much time it would take for the housing prices to drop to more reasonable levels from the ridiculously high 200 million gil, not how long it would be until personal housing / rooms would take to be implemented. There was never a concrete date on housing and Yoshi literally said he had to wait and see before he could have any idea when and how they could be implemented properly due to a variety of factors like server stress.

...and I really do hope the SE execs see the rave reviews Yoshi's reinvention of FFXIV has gotten and choose to contribute more funds for server optimizations, because really, Yoshida managed to save a sinking ship AND turn it into SE's financial flagship while SE was busy building more sinking ships with the XIII sub-franchise.

Q: When will individual housing be implemented?
A: It will be around half a year after patch 2.1's release. Currently, we are split between implementing a personal room within a free company house or personal housing. Since the decision will have a huge impact on how many additional servers we'll need to prepare, we have to carefully consider the balance of the housing system. We believe it will take roughly six months to have everything planned out and prepared.
