Status on Ishgard housing?

[The-Pope]

Last I checked they said they were gonna implement an apartment system sometime this patch(?), but I haven't heard anything about the new housing area. Is it still coming? If so, when?

EDIT: Realized this is the wrong place for my thread. Whoops.

I think they said Apartments were coming after Ishgard housing? So expect them in the 3.X5 patch at the soonest after Ishgard Housing is released

I think Apartments are coming before Ishgard housing, though? I could be wrong, but that's the order I had memorized. o.o

My memory fails me!
Time to go dig through the old Live Letter.

That works! I'll welcome being corrected by a live letter link!

Apparently, neither of us was wrong!

Just as I mentioned on a previous occasion, we'll be adding land in Patch 3.3, and we're aiming to have apartment-style housing in Patch 3.4. The moving feature will come after that. As part of our future plans, we'll be making enhancements to our current server structure to support things like housing and expansions to the Armoury Chest.

According to a previous live-letter, though, Apartments were supposed to be one building in Ishgard. I'm not sure if that changed since then, though, considering Yoshida talked about designing apartment buildings for all three city-states at some event (no official source on that, though. ) ... I wish they'd update us more often, to be honest.

I remember that live letter but I don't know it's worth sorting through a 2+hr stream...

As far as I recall apartments were 3.35 patch and announced for sure. If you go to the official final fantasy channel on youtube you might find information about that from the most recent live letter.

In a couple live letters back (and not the last one) Ishgard housing was mentioned as something they wanted to do and only after they implemented the "move" feature (whatever that entails). Both of those two things were only hopeful speculation by the devs as things they had on their list? Maybe someone can find a translated excerpt from that to clarify as I'm just pulling from my memory.

3.4 but wasn't fully confirmed. We will have to wait and see.
