Apartment Preview

[Kisik]

It would be nice to see the inside of the apartment, I'm guessing they'll be themed to their respective cities but are they larger than a fc private room? Also what gives with not being able to set up estate sharing with someone? Come on SE, be kind.

Exactly my thoughts...

My prediction at patch day: All apartments will be sold out within a few hours. Party Finder will be full with "Want so sell apartment for 2 million gil".

I'd jokingly said before that scalpers will be like...

'Will vacate apartment for 20 mil!'

Yeah, if I could share my apartment and stable access with my sister I'd just do that, now we've got to try and get both of us an apartment...

I'm almost positive I'm going to see things like this in Party Finder once 3.4 hits. Since SE likes giving them ammo for these things then punishing them for using it if someone reports.

If they are that shady and mean, why shouldn't we report them?

I'm kinda wondering if I want one. I use my FC room all the time, but finally getting into the Goblet after 3 years of never being able to afford it would be a damn dream.

I don't think he was saying "don't report them" just pointing out how SE makes it so easy for them to do stuff like this, even though they punish them when caught.

I was really, reeeeeeally hoping that the preview would show us inside the apartments, not just tell us things we already knew, aside from the new numbers. I could live with a single room (that's what partitions are for, anyway) but I hope it is at least a little bigger than the FC rooms. Not holding my breath though.

For all those asking about the original 512 apartments, in the Live letter, it said 512 Apartment for Ishgard housing. And I believe they originally planned to only have 12 wards in Ishgard.

So that would have been 12 wards x 512 Apartments = 6144 Apartments.

Instead we have 90 Apartments spread acrossed the 3 cities. So that 3 Cities X 12 Wards X 2 Subdivisions X 90 Apartments = 6480 Apartments.

So there is a little over 300 extra apartment compared to the original plan.

I'm assuming they changed it to three current cities first because it is easier to implement since they don't have to create new Ishgard architecture, styling and whatnot for the apartment. They might still implement Ishgard housing in future.

It's not MGS-branded cardboard box, but the cats are cute enough so I'll take it. :3

There's that Ishgard housing. Right in the Brume.

wouldn't it be soot snow houses then? seems like cardboard would either be to soggy there or burned up in all dat dragon fire

Was talking about apartments in a LS i have and said think all the apartments will be gone right away (since I'm on balmung) and person disagreed with and said they don't think that will happen cause not everyone on the game is interested in housing. I guess we will find out.

They showed inside of the apartments during the XXXII live letter.
