From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I think that cyrstarium housing would be a wonderful idea. I can imagine the ward with all the beautiful architecture and crystals, with homes lining the streets. Lore wise I'm not sure how this would work, but that's kinda negligible if there is a strong player demand for it. I just hope they don't go about it the same way they did with Ishgard. Sure it was fun and new for a while, but imo it got old and drawn out pretty fast.
Not before Idyllshire.![]()
There was a who-ha? I heard of no who-ha...Except that would then have to mandate completion of the Eden raids simply to acess, as for those that don't want to raid or couldn't be bothered with it (because it is after all optional content) wouldn't be able to go there (I myself hate raiding and have never bothered with Eden), due to creating a plot hole where from their perspective the Empty still exists.
Given the who-ha over having to mandate the Crystal Tower raids for ShB's storyline, I do not see SE doing anything like that again. So restoring the Empty to a proper geological environment is and will remain optional content.
Besides, if it comes end of EW you can unsync those raids and it will be a breeze. Or just leave the plot hole there I honestly don't care. If a player, such as yourself, will never do that content why should the rest of us do without housing because of it?
As others have already covered, the Empty isn't inhabitable until you've personally started it on that path. And the "years could have passed" doesn't work unless you also expect to come back and find that everyone you know there has grown older. The game doesn't work that way, especially when you may still have sidequests to do that take place before the hypothetical "years passing".
Sure! More housing in general ^^
