Shirogane Houses, for FC only?

[Endeleon]

People voiced their concerns about the fact that, on populated servers, FC might still not be able to get access to housing even with Shirogane, because of individual housing.
Yoshi-P said that they were still in the process of deciding what the best course of action would be. So yes, Shirogane might be FC exclusive for a short time.

"A short time"? Basically it's forcing private housing people to pay 3/4/5x the amount FC get to pay... how is that "fair"?

it's not supposed to be fair. FC houses have additional features and FC houses in theory are supposed to be used by more people.

More people who could more easily come up with 3, 4, or even 5x the funds to purchase a house than an individual can. After all, they have more people.

No. When Yoshi said they were "deciding what the best course of action should be" he was not referring to making the new residential zone FC only. He was merely indicating that the issue of FC's not having access to housing was on their radar. Making Shirogane FC exclusive would do little to nothing to address the issue of FC's lacking housing nor would it prevent single person FC's from scooping up those houses.

Shirogane will be no different from any othe residential zone as far as access and costs. Trying to stir up a phantom issue is only going to get people scared over nothing.

Any action they take in regards to FC's having access to housing will in all likelihood be in the form of providing some sort of apartment-style FC instanced housing.

Dude, please, stop making statements if you didn't even read the LL digest.

Q: Is the timing for purchasing plots in Shirogane the same for free companies and individuals?
A: We are currently in the middle of investigating how much of the population owns housing, so this hasn't been decided yet. We will look into this a bit more before making a decision.

Sounds to me like you're reading far more into that than what is actually being said.

[TaleraRistain]

Honestly they made their bed by allowing both. They need to just lie in it because making it exclusive on either side is just going to be unfair in the current setup.

[Fluffernuff]

oh man. It's almost as if SE SPECIFICALLY locked off shirogane in the first place so EVERYONE would have a fair shot at a plot.



...the heck is up with the doom and gloom about what kind of housing will come first? none of them will. Shirogane is locked off for a reason guys. No one gets special treatment

Slightly off-topic, but I wish they'd let us build ANY kind of house in ANY of the housing areas. I mean, what's wrong with a Glade house in Mist? Not all houses in a neighborhood in real life look all the same. Well, maybe some places they do. And it's just Stepford Wives creepy. xD But otherwise I don't see why we can building any type of house in any area. Is there a limitation reason or something?

Glade sets are the cutest, I'd love some of their stuff on my mist house ;-;

Heres to hoping the liveletter clears up all the housing info. Not shooting for a personal, but I would like to have everything made crystal clear before balmung's bloodbath.
