That's great... but can we have an INSTANCED Housing area

[Big_Bap]

No, we cannot and that's perfectly fine.

No, we can and it's not fine. FFXIV's housing system is objectively garbage. The whole 'neighborhood' idea doesn't need to be destroyed, but nobody actually cares about it. Plus, instanced housing would (potentially) open up more interesting locales to have a house.

Only if they come with a significantly higher purchase cost for the plot and require a good amount of high-end crafter materials.

You say that like it wouldn't be better than what we have now.

If that were true, we wouldn't be having so many players desperate to buy into the system. The wards would be empty like in the JP servers. The housing system is objectively good, that's why the housing plots are so desirable.

Umm, no. The housing system is garbage, and I'm saying that as a home owner. While words can't describe how excited and happy I was to have finally gotten a house of my own back in Stormblood the process of getting one was a rather stressful and miserable experience. I hated the FC-Only moratorium they implemented because I was worrying that there would be none left by the time it was finally lifted especially since it would be the only time in the whole expansion that they would add new wards.
I have friends who have all but given up on getting a house because of the awful the random timer system. You could spend hours upon hours camping and clicking a plot and lose it to someone who showed up two minutes ago.
If the housing system were actually good, we wouldn't have so many people begging for instanced housing or additional plots like this. If you have the gil, you should be able to buy a house and be done with it, plain and simple.
