Information on 2.38 personal housing?

[Eldonia]

Is there going to be any information on 2.38 personal housing released prior to the patch? It'd be really nice to have an idea of what this is going to be like before the servers go down, so we can plan accordingly. i.e. how much it's going to cost, whether or not there will be any type of permissions or anything for other people? (i.e. living with a friend/significant other, making it so either person can place/move furniture etc)

Are there going to be different size houses? Is it going to be similar to the current FC housing setup?

[Errn]

Agreed! Is it going to be a crapshoot on getting in a housing instance so you can neighbor with friends? Can I take over Eldonia's house and evict him and bring in the pool boy? I need more info!!

Mainly I want to know:
*Rough pricing (I want my barbie mansion)
*Can I ensure my friends will be able to neighbor with me? (insance ID's maybe?)
*Permissions (I'm an Eorzean interior decorator, I'm in demand - my business is at stake)
*Can I make everything pink?

Most of those are serious questions I spose.

The lack of info on personal housing is killing me. Can I set-up next to my friends? Do I need to phone in sick to work to grab an instance because there's 0 chance of me getting next Tuesday off legit next week? Is it the same deal with FC housing, zones with a limit, different sized houses?!?! LET US KNOW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET US KNOW

I must agree the lack of information is more than annoying.
Myself included would like to know if their will be neighbourhoods, will an FC have the chance of owning a neighbourhood so all in FC can buy a house there.
Or will it just be instanced like in XI
Is it first come first serve like FC houses were.

[Pterois]

It would seem as if the neighborhood question is what we want to know most. Can i sit on my front porch and yell at kids to get off my property (current FC neighborhood set up)? or will i be set up somewhere like the hermits hole and be alone?

Will there be any ties or benefits to the FC house? And of course will we be able to realistically plan out owning a whole corner of a ward with you and your buddies?

[Gerolan]

To have the option to have a house next to friends is brilliant, just hope it happens, hate to be scattered all over wards and placed next to strangers. As it is our FC house is next to someone who keeps using our lawn as a party pad

I think at best, personal housing will be a singular instance you can buy, and when you enter you'll be outside your front lawn. Because I imagine SE would want to use personal housing as a way of giving people who aren't in an FC (or aren't in a high enough ranked FC, or who are in an FC but can't get a house because all the wards are full) a chance to have their own place, to be able to decorate their own house, to be able to raise chocobos and garden and do whatever other new features are introduced as part of the housing system.

At worst, they'll just introduce a lot more wards, and players will just have the option to buy land (be it small, medium or large) for themselves. Which means it'll be another land rush, all the wards will fill up within a week because of course there won't be enough for every player, which means that most likely the only people that will have their own house are the 1.0 players, the people who have specifically been saving for personal housing months, and whoever happens to manage to log in first that Tuesday morning. Probably about 20% of the population, give or take. And then SE will get a brand new wave of complaints from people who didn't manage to get into the exclusive cool kids club.

I sense a bit of passive aggression towards legacy players

Just to clarify (and not get too far off topic) all of my gil I had from 1.0 got a zero shaved off it during the reboot. So my cool mil I had, was 100k when I logged in. I've since then been playing A YEAR to rebuild my wealth. Same amount of time the rest of the population has had. Don't hate please, this is by far the best gaming community on the planet, we don't need snarky remarks just cause we we're early adopters.

lol seriously. I don't understand why people think all 1.0 players are automatically loaded.

But anyway, yeah, I hope we can get some type of dev confirmation on at least SOOOOME of this information.

I would also love to know some more about Personal Housing, such as price, personal gardens, placement, if there is extra storage inside.

I hope the dev's see this so we could get such a small idea! Thanks!
