[IDEA] Housing area (Ishgard)

[Jojoya]

Not everyone wants a large, though. I've got friends who love their smalls and don't want anything larger, just as I love my medium and wouldn't want a large for an in-game home (though definitely would like a large for a FC house).


Nor can everyone afford it. It wouldn't make sense for SE to create a new housing area for only the richest of players and lock everyone who doesn't have the gil or want a large out of it.

As has been mentioned before, Ishgard would be a great place to start instanced housing or multi-sized apartments. It's not a large place - the city itself is built much like the Goblet, a "town" on top of a tall island-like spit of land. There's nowhere to build a sprawling area for housing. So I think this would be a good place to experiment, especially if the housing could be nearly unlimited, given that data isn't being given over to "always-active" open-world wards.

While I agree that Ishgard would be better used to introduce instanced housing, it does include Coerthas. The reconstruction could be rebuilding Falcon's Nest instead of Foundation, in which case there would be plenty of room to add in a traditional ward area.

Wasn't there talk in the MSQ or some side story quests about them losing access to Eastern Coerthas and how there were sprawling areas there that would be great to build housing? Like a bridge is gone or some nonsense that should have been easily fixed already.
