Shirogane Housing and Relocation

[Lilseph]

I had to F5 just to like this post. I'm with you. Totally amazed and excited by this whole thing. SE finally pulled an amazing patch together that I feel addressed every concern the players had. Though, people will still complain because they may not get a house or they want Personal/FC housing options to have first go.

Yup! It's incredible, specially with the furniture that would break upon removal. I must be honest: The storage room is the bees' knees. Dude, you have no idea how much I've flooded my retainers with furniture I don't use. Or how many times I had to re-craft a food furniture because they break when you remove them. I'm, however, a bit concerned because I'm on Balmung. Getting a house will be harder than super savage. Like your response above, I'm also memorized and practice a route to get there as quick as possible. Hopefully I don't end up homeless. D:

I have everything I need memorized to grab the plot I'd like our little FC to have. Luckily I have solid internet & I play on PC so I have a bit of an advantage; but not always. I'm also lucky that the Aether I need to port to looks right at the plot so I could easily jump to another ward if the 1st 1 I pick isn't available.

Why is that?

Depending on your build you can potentially have faster loading times than anyone else. That plus stable internet? No worries then. This was how I lucked out with my house on the last Ward release. I was able to load into the ward I wanted before anyone else and had my pick of the litter.

Quicker load times if you have a good gaming PC. My old PC was taking 2-5 mins to load areas. Consoles also load slower than good PCs.

I was curious if there was an advantage with respect to the PLAY button for log in. I know on PS4 it won't activate unless you do a relog (restart). I wan't sure that was the case with PC. i have FFXIV on PC but I don't have SB for that version at the moment.

On my PC the log in button updates on it's own so I guess that would be another advantage. Also did they decide to forgo letting FC's relocate prior to the lots going live for everyone else? Just wondering because I think I remember mention of them thinking about it but I don't recall seeing in in the notes.

There is no advantage to owning an FC or Personal house vs someone who does not. It's going to be a free for all! WHOOOO! XDD

People asked and they said they would think about it. don't think the devs ever brought it up first so according to these notes, it seems like they decided it wasn't a thing they care to do.

Nope FCs do not get a head start, it is a free for all. First come first served deal. Everyone has the same chance FC or not.
