Thread: 4.2 Housing Update

You do have some good arguments and we probably have to wait for 30.01 for the final confirmation but if above points are those things that they did not want people to know...why would they talk about this right now? Why not wait till the servers are down to keep people from creating and leveling FCs to get a house. I mean it might be some hard work but its still quite possibly to do that in the amount of time until the patch goes live. Why not post this from the very beginning? I mean it might have given them even more of a time but those that are dedicated enough will manage to do that anyway. So if those where the secrets why post them already? They could have just posted the amounts of new wards and maybe that FC gets it first (and the time when they will sell it) but still dont talk about the other points so that people wont prepare for it or sell their stuff. Its just so strange.

So i guess this means i may as well give up on being able to get a house.. as i am a 'individual'

you might be okay on a smaller pop server like coeurl. it's the big servers, like balmung and gilgamesh, that are going to suffer from this.

Maybe it is a mannequin! Possibly a pre-built too for something like a clothing shop decor. I was squinting to make out details, but those do appear to be headless.

edit: Went back to the video to check it out and he specifically pointed at them in the picture and said something. Where are those futuristic auto-translation modules from all the sci-fi shows when you need them?!

Way back they promised us armor displays. I wonder if that's it. But even if it's not, it would be great for a sewing room/tailor shop setup. I want more things for a shoppy kinda vibe.
