Where's your house going to be?

[ispano]

I want mine in Mor Dhona.

Uldah. I want a house on a cliff overlooking a waterfall.

[Boohiss]

I want a van down by the river.

I have to say the concept art for all of them looks amazing, but my fierce loyalty to Limsa definitely makes it the front-runner. It looks like a cross between coastal Mediterranean and a resort in Bora Bora. DAT VIEW. If I had to pick a second though, it would be Ul'dah, it looks like it's pretty chill at the top of that cliff.

LL for now but I want to see all the areas, I do like Thanalan

Ok so does anyone have an idea how purchasing a house is going to work out? Does the amount of gil determine where you can buy your house, are some areas more expensive than others. This could get interesting as the richest will probably end up with the prime RE.

Different sized plots of land will cost different amounts of cash (small, medium, large I think, could be labelled differently though).
Once all of one type of plot is taken in the zone, another housing instance will pop up. People will be able to get the land that they want. The price of the land also drops over time from what Yoshi has said; so if you wait it out you could get a house pretty cheaply but if you want it right away you'll have to pay for it.
Once you've got your land, I think you have to build the house (I'm not sure on this; the house could already be there and then you have to customize it's appearance if you wish).

The deeds can be traded between players too so if someone really wants to get rid of their house, they could sell it on to someone else

I hope this answers your questions^^

Yes and no. I was aware of most of what you mentioned but it just seems that this will create a mini sandbox where the intentions and plans of the developers may not turn out exactly how they anticipate, hence perhaps making some housing areas inaccessible to some people.

I have not seen anything that has changed my mind yet, so I still plan on having my house in Gridania.

If people are hell-bent on getting a certain plot of land, they just have to wait it out and it will come^^ There's no limit on instances etc so everyone should be able to get the land they want; it may take some longer than others but everyone should be able to get what they're after^^
