    There is already lore in the game that outright states that accomodation in the Crystarium is at a premium (a Lakeland sidequest mentions about a npc that was hoping to move there and it was only because a vacancy opened up that she was able to do so, they would have had to turn her away otherwise), so actual FC-style housing is just not possible. We do have a fancy inn room there though so I think that will be the limit of 'housing' available there.

    More likely you'll see Crystarium style brick and steel wallpaper and internal housing fittings to compliment the Crystarium furnishing already available, but as actual housing, I sadly don't think it will happen (Ishgardian housing is still yet to be added and that's been requested for years).

    Does lore really matter when the devs decided to completely overwrite the lore for Astrologian?

    Our suite at the Pendants technically is personal housing according to the story. We don't get to decorate it, but it is ours long-term and not just renting a room at the inn.

    If you mean the cards, that "complete overwrite" resulted in a minor change to how two of the cards are described, leaving the other four untouched, and the removal of Leveva's instructions on when to use each one during the initial battle sequence. They're still having the same lore-effect of empowering the person in various ways, just all translating to the battle system as an increase to strength rather than other attributes.

    Who's to say they can't try to expand a little or something?
    Maybe by the time this expansion is done, all is well and maybe they can restore.
    I'd take apartments too if the real housing is too much trouble.

    To be honest, I barely care about the lore if it's gonna
    keep pushing up for more fun stuff, but you never know.

    NPC: I'm sorry there is just not enough room for you- please understand, we'll place you on the waiting list.
    WoL: *slides 200 million gil across the table*
    NPC: We suddenly have all vacancies!

    As for my usual dead horse drum, uhm.. instanced housing hurray! lol. In so much that the quantity of available houses, of the type and location desired, is always able to meet player demand, such like wildstar, eso, and loads of other mmos (it's certainly not something I'd say is easy, given the circumstances far from that, but at least it's also not unheard of black magickery lol). Without slapping many spoilers I still think that last zone in ShB opened up a great opportunity for instanced housing. That would have been a cool way to earn your own, manipulatable, space.
