I'm sorry if this has been answered before. But I have a question: I read on reddit that "Additional plots, wards 13-18 will be added to each residential area" but that "Plots will be added one week after Patch 4.2"

Does this mean that the plots won't be available for purchase on Jan 30th?

Yes. that is what it means.
They won't be available until one week after patch. And Patch is on the 30th thus, you can't purchase them on the 30th

Correct, they will open on February 7th so we don't have so many people rushing the servers for a plot like we saw at 4.1 launch. People who want to get on, do all of their content, and disappear again for a few months, will be able to do so, allowing those of use trying to get a house to get in a smidge more easily a week later. It's one of two things that will, theoretically, help loading into Kugane be a little smoother.

Though I suppose this means the house hunt will last ten minutes instead of five. xD

Awww. I completely understand the reasoning but that makes me a little nervous as I am moving to Puerto Rico on February 1st. Here is to hoping that my Internet and added housing restrictions allow me to snatch up a house for my FC.

The new hairstyles are so bad in my opinion x_x out of all the hairstyle suggestions we give them they choose the weirdest ones. Why not add more hairstyle like M'Naago's/Y'shtola's?
Everything else is great though, can't wait for all the great things, specially being able to wear any gear without role restriction (I hope!).

I think you mean Feb 6th.

[Aster_E]

I think you mean Feb 6th.

Yep. Jan 31 is always so forgettable for me, so you're right actually.

Everyone switching their PLD in 3 2 1...

I will change to drk myself.

I don’t get why are people avoiding a class that has received nerfs like a plague. It doesn’t make it unplayable either way :/

If the new hairstyles are what I think they are, then colour me disappointed. I'm really not liking the trend of designing the majority of new hairstyles to be unisex - it typically leads to most of them ending up as being very androgynous or overly feminine. I think they had the right idea when they implemented hairstyles based on many of the playable characters from Type-0. I'd love to see more hairstyles designed to mimic those used by other iconic Final Fantasy characters.

Honestly? I blame the people who complain about gender locked stuff. I'm all about gender equality, but making nothing gender specific just means they have to design it for both genders which means it doesnt really look great on either one, since its not "this is for females, and this is for males"
