In Game Housing Crisis

[Ciri-Fiona]

There are a large number of apartments available, whether they are in an FC house or in residential areas, they all work similar to what you say, even small houses are easy to get
Honestly there is no problem with housing, there is only a problem of greed. Everyone wants a palace. This is the real problem.

A schedule for the Island Sanctuary's release was revealed during the most recent Live Letter from the Producer. Players can expect to enjoy the new area in Patch 6.2, with further updates to the island at a later date. More details will be shared with players closer to the release. The Island Sanctuary could be a solution to FFXIV's crowded housing market. Buying a home has always been an issue, due to the large population of adventurers on each server. Currently, estates are the only way players can garden and raise their Chocobo. Houses are expensive and owning one is a rare opportunity. The Island Sanctuary in FFXIV seems to be an alternative for fans and can free up the marketplace.

Giving everyone access to a personal island is a massive change to the game. The Island Sanctuary in FFXIV allows for the freedom of expression like never before. Players will be able to invite friends and show off their own custom-made islands. Depending on how extensive the new feature is, some players may even spend the majority of their time decorating the area. Final Fantasy XIV fans can look forward to hearing more details about the Island Sanctuary as the release of Patch 6.2 draws closer.

Everything is already there and there is absolutely no problem, So please let's stop doing sad drama

Nah, we should be able to criticize a broken system SE decides to throw in bandaid fixes for. There is no "half-full" when it locks out a good portion of the playerbase. No, apartments and FC apartments are not the same. Yoshi-P has already urged us that Island Sanctuary is not housing and to temper our expectations with it, and since we barely know anything about it, it shouldn't be treated as a substitute for housing. Stop blaming the players when SE is responsible for the mess in the first place. They are not an indie company lol.

The issue I have with stuff like this is that apartments were more or less hyped up the same way—and then turned out to be a major disappointment: limited space, limited item slots, no access to outdoor furnishing space for gardening, etc.. They don’t come in different sizes, and there seems to be no plans to actually implement this despite it being a feature requested almost as much as instanced housing or more wards (and a suitable alternative to the problems with housing). So I take any hype like what you posted above with a grain of salt, personally.

This, all of this. Apartments are a joke lol. If they were adequate or comparable to houses, there wouldn't be as much of an issue. They're incredibly limited in just about every aspect. Saying there is "absolutely no problem" is just full on copium.

Not to mention, I believe FC apartments have even more limitations - can't leave the FC or you lose it, ect. I think it should speak for itself when FC-only wards are sparse.

This man really complaining about something that not only used to be the same thing as a small house, yet only costs 300-500k instead of 40m+ and doesn't blow up when you stop entering it. You're wildin my lala.

lmao just because small houses used to be like fc chambers/apartments doesn't mean they are now, also still doesn't compare up to a medium or large nor does it have all the features that housing has. do you have a point or are you here just to go "back in my dayssss"?

Again, not the same price. Do you have a point or are you here to cry? Oh wait, we already know the answer to that question LOL

Bruh lol, if they made apartments adequate to houses I'd be happy to pay the same price as a house. I haven't said anything new that hasn't been said like a hundred times already by other people.

Ofc apartments are going to be cheaper when they barely have any features of a house lol. Go cry about someone else's post smh if the only thing you have to nitpick about mine is the pricing.
