Looking at the new wards added it seems the only real houses that were taken in goblet were mansions.

I don't understand why the housing equivalent of khakis isn't more popular. ;D "This just in, goblet plots were seen infiltrating other districts and dragging potential homeowners kicking and screaming back to their lair." Tons of smaller plots available surrounding the brimming heart in multiple wards too. I think Square should take a couple notes from this: Stop designing wards with so few larger houses and the goblet needs an update to all of it, not just the pool.

Cactuar here.

Shirogane sold out pretty fast; except for a few smalls in the new Wards, everything else is taken.
The Mist still has Mediums and Smalls available in the new Wards.
The Lavender Beds still has Mediums and Smalls available in the new Wards.
The Goblet still has Mediums and Smalls available in the new Wards.

Plenty of Smalls and a few Mediums have opened up in the old Wards—there was even a mansion that opened up in the Lavender Beds, but sold within 30-ish minutes to a relocator.

All the mansions sold out within 20-ish minutes. Friend and I completely avoided Shirogane trying to get an FC, and stuck to just the Lavender Beds. We had no trouble getting Plot 36 at all for the FC. I’m actually really pleased, considering we tried to upgrade during 4.1 Shirogane, and got Lobby Server errors and 90k’s, and by the time we got in 15 minutes later everything was gone.

It’s really something else to be out decorating and seeing all these empty plots. Not going to lie lol.

On Hyperion from what I can tell about half the new Larges were single owners relocating/upgrading to larges from smaller plots. Alot of the new medium and larges were taken by people relocating to upgrade to a bigger plot. Only took about 5minutes for all the medium and larges to be gone. Theres currently a ton of smaller plots left and I can't help but think that since they are currently FC locked that the reason they remain open is because FC's don't want smalls as opposed to no one can afford them. Hearing about all the small plots empty on other servers just makes me think that really no one ever wanted a small plot it was always people just settling til chance for bigger ones opened.

We still have mediums in the Goblet still open on Balmung of all places, not to mention the sheer number of smalls. So it looks like things will survive even here until personal purchases launch.

This isn't really helping the housing at all. But oh well, Stupid part on SE by letting people prepare in advance.

On Cactuar, was 201 in queue, had split gil up between me and FC leader to camp both Lavender Beds and Goblet - decided early on we were going to pass on Shirogane since we didn't want to risk missing out on a large FC house. Got in, raced like a lunatic to our plot choices in ward 13 since it was completely empty so far (plot 6 in LB, plot 13 in Goblet). We decided to go Lavender Beds since members seemed to like it more (I like Goblet T_T). Tried to transfer and had this moment of pure dread when we started getting an error because our housing storage was full. I raced back to the house and just started chucking furniture into my inventory while FC leader clicked frantically on the placard, expecting someone to come running up any second to buy it out from in front of us.

We got it eventually. And for about 5 to 10 minutes the only other house that sold in our ward was a nearby small that an FC member transferred to, and plot 11 (the nice waterfront medium). We threw the essential furnishings out and then went to watch the bloodbath at shirogane. XD

Overall it went much smoother than last time. I'm still a little shaky from that storage scare though LOL.

About 2 hours later there was still lots of smalls and mediums available in our ward. Larges were sold out server wide probably 30 minutes after servers went up?

Faerie! I didn't sleep well Sunday and yesterday was no different. I wanted to upgrade my small in LB to a medium that would also please my bf and I lowkey panicked as he only seemed to like the dread famous 11/41 plots xD (ah, there was no pressure from him or anything, it's something -I- wanted to do!)!
I was nervous, my experience with 4.1 was horrid, me and my FC didn't manage to get anything because of login errors and an almost 2k queue right after. Honestly I felt a bit defeated already, lol

Maintenance ending, headache going, I click on play and... 106 queue. Looked at the Ferry and the panic just increased as there were around 10 people around him, I could only think about the worst. PLOTS GONE YO!
Selected the ward without looking and... swam to the plot, LOL! OPEN!

An hour and a half later most of the plots except large and a couple mediums were still up, and last I checked half an hour ago there were smalls and mediums everywhere, and I even saw a large still open

Several hours later, the ward in Mist that my FC bought our house in still has lots of smalls open and 1 or 2 medium plots as well. Seems like there's plenty to go around now and I hope that some greedy FC doesn't come along with a bunch of dummy FCs and ruin it for people that want their own personal house, whenever that opens up.

Logged in right at 5:00am. Was 189th in line to get in. Got booted three times. Took me four minutes to get my character in the world. Choose a random ward from the new ones in Lav Beds on Diabolos, saw that one person had already purchased a property, decided to go subdivision, teleported into the closest aetherite, AND RAN!

No one else was trying to get it. So I got my mansion upgrade that I wanted. :-)

Diabolos, three and a half hours after opening, still had 12 mansions available in Goblet--three houses were also available in Shiro. No complaints for me for this launch. I didn't go for seriously popular property either, but it still worked out in the end!

On the same server as you are. My wife and I got our first FC house this morning in the Lavender Beds, but now I'm wishing I had the gil to relocate my small goblet house to either a small in LB or Shiogane lol. Alas, we only had about 5 mil to start the day and the FC plot + house + workshop took almost all of that LOL. We're back up to 200k after the wife sold some stuff on the market though. LOL
