When will we get the promised housing updates?

[Jojoya]

YoshiP did state several times that the item limit increase is coming in 7.x. What was left unstated was whether it would be both outdoor and indoor, and how large an increase we'll be getting.

There was also mention of other changes, such as being able to change the interior architecture (pillars, stairs and that sort of thing) to the type we want regardless of district and possibly even pillar free (that was still a work in progress the last time he brought it up) but no mention of when those changes might happen.

So the item limit increase has been "promised" but as usual players may be setting their expectations too high about what we'll actually get and when.

Do we have a actual quote that it IS comming? I watched the presentation and his translator said "is something we are looking into" but I haven't seen a official SE word on it which is why I am asking. I've seen a dodgey live letter translation attempt the closest we have is..
(from the broadcast)
"Okay, this last one we will not be able to implement in 7.0, but we are going to plan it for 7.x," Yoshida announced. "Sorry for the long wait. We are currently working on increasing the furniture limit."

Working on does not assure that we get the outcome we want - nor what that increase may take the form of which is why I get leery when folks throw around the promise...I mean this expansion has resulted in me being let down by folks called "the promise" a lot :-P

I can understand being let down. I've been busy getting my crafting prepped for tomorrow so didn't have time to track down a specific quote for you but once the crafting rush is over this week, I'll try to do that. I do remember him saying it would definitely be in 7.x but can't remember what round of interviews/Q&As it came from this year.
