Firmament Builders Housing Priority

No, we didn't. We constructed the Firmament, not Empyreum..

I dunno, the devs seem to think rankers constructed the Empyreum.

Thanks to tireless volunteers from near and far, Ishgard's once-ruined Firmament now boasts a host of facilities─including a brand-new residential area, Empyreum!

You know what? I'm all for it!

Nah, that's just whomever wrote the news topic. Try reading the quest that unlocks access to Empyreum.

You see, after you helped bring an end to the Dragonsong War, we have striven to rebuild the city.

And thanks to the assistance of countless craftsmen, our efforts to restore the Firmament to its former glory are finally complete!

In fact, House Dzemael assembled a team of masons so skilled and efficient that they were able to finish the construction of an entirely new quarter!

Its name is “Empyreum,” and it was created to serve as a residential district for adventurers from across the realm.

Many argue that the lottery is fair and gives everyone the opportunity to obtain a house, but it was the Saints and Beatus/Beata of the Firmament who reconstructed what you are discussing today.

The event had it's own rewards which were already distributed.

Limiting housing for players who just started playing based on an event they can no longer access isn't fair.
