That hasn't come up at all yet that I'm aware of. They may adjust prices again but it's probably easier for them and us to keep everything unified.

All houses cost the same across all servers, this was implemented a long time ago. I remember paying 20mil for the very first small plot I ever had, lol.

With the new wards not being released until sometime after 4.0 it makes me want to stop the auto demolition of my FC house. I remember last time it said it would come "some time after" a patch and it was close to 6 months. I am so on the fence about it really. I have time, but waiting 45 days seems like not a long time but it is for someone who is waiting lol.

Nothing we've been told so far indicates that FCs get first dips at Shirogane. What they may or may not get (the wording has been unclear) is first dibs at the Move feature. Even if FCs do get access to the Move feature before those with personal houses do, this will not effect you. Since you do not currently own a house, you don't have to worry about whether or not you will have access to the Move feature. The only thing you have to worry about is the mad rush to buy a plot as soon as they become available.

Not yet. And since Shirogane plots aren't being unlocked until some time after 4.0, I doubt we'll get any more information about Moving until at least 4.1 patch notes.

Does anyone know how much housing would cost for a plot there? (I want it so badddd) ;; I probably won't get one, cause I only have 1mil, but in a place like Balmung... any estimates?

Pricing hasn't been given yet. I'm not sure if they'll make it any higher than current housing, but I'd aim to save up a bit higher just in case.

Adding to the above, the current prices are (unchanged since patch 3.3):

Small: 3 to 3.75 mil (Permit = 450k)
Medium 16 to 20 mil (Permit = 1 mil)
Large: 40 to 50 mil (Permit = 3 mil)

Just to clarify, the purchase price is only for the land, the house is the permit and can either be bought direct from the placard at the house for the prices above, or can be traded from other players (or bought on marketboard where someone has listed one).
