Thread: 3.0 Housing

Aside from them saying "you wont have houses in Heavensward, yet" implying eventually there might be, it reminded me of the evolving Mor Dhona area. Its slowly evolving and this is not the only place. It's on of the precepts that the Dev team had for ARR, an evolving and growing game. They also stated there would be much fewer atherite crystals for teleporting because it is mostly wild areas but that was because it is as of yet not well traversed by adventurers.

Also, i wasnt saying yes they will have it, i'm not giving a definitive answer as to when it might happen. I'm just not ruling the possibility out. If you want to, that's your choice, but it doesnt sound like the devs have. Time will tell, I could be wrong.

Alright then captain serious pants. Thank you for setting me straight. I apologize if my optimism has offended the thread gods. Please accept this dead mouse as a peace offering.

At the start of 2.0 we're some nobody adventurer that struggles to kill a ladybug.

At the end of 2.0 we've killed a super-weapon that threatened to destroy the entire world.

If SE wants housing to open in Ishgard, I think they can make it work.

Of course they could MAKE it work, but square has never been a company that ignores lore and story telling for the sake of gameplay. I mean honestly look at PvP and those wonderful GC limits they still refuse to remove despite the fact it would likely revitalize pvp. It doesn't matter what they CAN do. What matters is what they WILL do. What they are willing to do is stick to the lore. So you should really only expect things to match the lore, and as I pointed out it would make zero sense in the lore to add housing here at launch. None at all.

Considering how its looking very likely that Ishgard's government and entire system of belief is being set up for a pretty big fall, I'd not make too many assumptions about how the lore is going to work out.

Going to quote myself from earlier for this answer.

The point still stands even with your context. Regardless if the government crashes do you really thing they will be like "despite all our government issues, the lack of leadership, and total internet anarchy why don't we compound issues and let tons of immigrants in at the same time! We've got plenty of time to deal with both issues." I don't.

Never said there wasn't a single home. I said they wouldn't let us live there. Once again. Context. Obviously people live there in places presumably called homes.

However, I wouldn't be too surprised to see them open a housing area in Mor Dhona, given how large Revenant's Toll has grown. Maybe that whole upper area past Rowena's cafe and stuff.

You also need to understand that Ishgard has only been shut off to outsiders for twenty years (and even that appears to be more of a security measure than a cultural matter). They kept mostly to themselves for about a thousand years before that, sure, but they're not as isolationist as you seem to believe.
