Thread: New housing size for 3.3?

So I heard they were introducing a new housing size in one of the upcoming patches but I can't find any info on it, does anyone have any tasty info on this?

I'm assuming you're talking about the hotel, which will be like the FC rooms we have now. You go to the hotel, and warp to your private quarters.

Q: Auto-reclamation for housing starts this month, but can you tell us if there will be any future additions of plots?

A: We'll be increasing the number of plots for existing housing areas in Patch 3.3. After we expand those areas, we'll add apartment-style housing in Ishgard areas afterwards, starting with one apartment-style building which will hold about 512 residences. We’re also planning to make chocobo stables available for use to residents of apartment-style housing. Gardening patches are still proving somewhat difficult, but we’re currently developing new “planter pots” that will allow gardening.

As per demand, we are also looking into the prospect of increasing the number of indoor furnishings which can be placed in residences.

The french and english newsletter live transcription are a bit unclear on whether there will be a new classic housing area in Ishgard or not, and if they plan to add apartment style in all housing areas.

French version of the transcription says :

Nous implémenterons ensuite des "logements collectifs" et ajouterons un quartier résidentiel à Ishgard. Ces premiers, qui mettront à disposition 512 appartements par bâtiment, nous permettront de répondre un peu plus facilement aux demandes des joueurs.

Which translates to :

We will then implement "collective housing" and add a new residential area to Ishgard. The first ones will allow 512 apartments per building, thus answering better the housing need of players.

I'm not sure if there will be in Ishgard a housing area such as the ones we know today, and/or is there will be apartments in all existing areas too.
Does anyone has a final answer on this matter ?
