Instanced Housing. We're angry!

[Losara]

Most FFXIV players these days know the only way to get a Medium / Large house is via relocations. Its impossible to get one waiting out timers.

I haven't personally had an issue finding the occasional Medium house to relocate into by actively searching and Behemoth used to be congested not too long ago. If you're really serious about obtaining a Medium / Large house you'll probably want to swap out of Mateus since it is a congested server. You can be on the same data centre so you can still catch up with people you know but nowadays apart from FCs and housing theres no real need to be tied to any particular server since you can world visit.

My advice is to wait for Ishgard housing. That will open up at least 21 new wards of housing which is more than we got with the combined 19-21 wards in 5.1. There will probably be a lot of people attempting to purchase into Ishgard which should free up housing in other areas which can simple be relocated into.
