Ishgard

[Myon88]

Huh, I was under the impression 'apartments' were a new type of housing that would be available in every existing ward type (so there would Mist apartments, Lavender Bed apartments, etc), and that Ishgard itself would get its own housing wards later on.

Although I can certainly see how something might have been lost in translation, if Ishgard won't be getting its own ward and apartments are going to be an Ishgard exclusive thing in place of that. It would kind of make sense too since they don't exactly have land to build on.

If there's a recent interview or live letter where they explicitly spell this out I'll be interested to see it. It seems like it's been nothing but hearsay for months and I really want to get the record straight.

That is what I thought as well. I skimmed through the live letter summary from E3 on reddit and couldn't find anything on it.
