Personal housing was promised 6 months after 2.1 but the recent news from the Yoshida paints a different picture from our dreams of owning our own land and buying a small house.

For now, we are getting personal rooms. It will function very much like FFXI:
Players will enter an instanced zone of a room that's slighty larger than a room at the inn. There, they can decorate it with furnishings.

There's no word on whether you must be in an FC with a house or if decorated rooms will also be available in the major cities (similar to residential zones in FFXI).

The actual land houses won't come til after patch 2.3, if we're lucky, 2.35

I'm personally ok with this, because housing will likely be expensive. If rooms are free to add-on, then more people will opt for personal rooms in the long run.

y; personal rooms are coming first, i’ve mentioned we’re working on both personal housing/room
y; one where you can purchase your own land/house, the dev team is first working on the personal rooms first.
y; they are both working on at same time but personal room will be released first then house after
y; in 2.3 we’re going to see how much land is going to be available
