Plots everywhere demolished and open!

Honestly do you believe anything will give? At this point SE are as comfortable/secure in their way as what 1.0 gave us. Maybe even more so I am not sure in all the years buying square games I have ever seen a more "dedicated" fan base. I am actually surprised I read through all the posts and haven't seen the usual suspects saying get an apartment, houses aren't for everyone, and the other unique opinions some people have.

There is still a chance Ishgard might be different than a regular ward, there's NPCs living there and houses already built. Something I don't think we've seen in any other wards other than some shops?

But if it is just a ward like any other it feels pretty safe to assume they're not in a hurry to address the housing situation no matter how terrible it is.

I don't know why they're so against instanced housing for everyone, the neighborhoods are neat but they're so dead and empty 90% of the time it might as well be instanced.

They could also, potentially, keep the neighborhood feel but instance every plot. I'm not sure how difficult that would be to code though. I'm kinda hoping that this is what they are doing with Ishgard.

Hope was after how bad housing was going in HW's that Shirogane would be the fix. Maybe your right. I just think ishgard is one of those zones that will look better then an old comparable zone but still be the same thing.
