On a scale of 1 - 10, how disappointed are you so far with Stormblood news?

Who didn't say this already Captain Obvious? Even still they said that he new housing zone will be locked behind the MSQ. You have to GET there first to be even able to buy the housing in the first place when it opens.

I'm sorry, but if you haven't completed the 3.56 story in the 3 months between it going live, and Stormblood launching, then that's on you.
And if you're complaining on behalf of those who aren't even going to start playing until this summer, then you've got even less sympathy from me.

You do realize that you are going to have to finish the Ala Mhigo part of the story first right? The only thing locking the housing zone behind the MSQ is going to do is make people rush through the content to be in Othard by the time the housing opens. As much as they think people are going to take their time and enjoy the content they aren't, *ESPECIALLY* if they don't add new zones to the older housing districts. All people are going to do is make a mad dash for the Othard content.

"Oh hey did you know this happened in Ala Mhigo?" - "Did it? Well I skipped everything, screw that dude I needed a house. I had to get to Doma before Shriogane opened so I can get one and flip it!"

This is something that we do not know yet. We may or may not end up going to Kugane first.

Rewatch the presentation

I think you need to rewatch it because there was no confirmation of anything, in fact, the smart assumption is that Ala Mhigo/Kugane is how they're gonna split the playerbase to ease server stress like how they added Channels in 3.0 and had you choose between SoC or CWH. So, until Yoshi P himself comes out and says "You have to clear Ala Mhigo before you can access Kugane", I'm gonna have to ask you to stop making false statements.
