Island Sanctuaries when?

Thanks for that info! I confess I didn't know where to look to find it. I really appreciate your link to it.

I doubt anything currently in the game (other than minions) would be used for Island Sanctuary based on what YoshiP has said so far. It's supposed to be relaxing, non-competitive content. Using items that can be traded between players would bring a competitive element to it.

As farming now has a massive competetion going on in being able to obtain a house, using the islands is a very viable way to negate that issue. The more places in which you can farm, the lower the effect of a house becomes. Even if you have only 2 appartments and the island, if that gives enough farming, then even those with a mansion are gaining relatively less. 2 vs 10 or 6 vs 14 gives those who have less a higher relative value.

Sure, it could make the farmable items worth less, but thats not an issue because some farmable items are always useful, and it could even be compensated in a diffirent way (higher consume rates in recipes).

Reducing value isn't the same as eliminating competition.

Please listen to YoshiP as he repeatedly tells us to lower our expectations about Island Sanctuary. It is not going to be an extension or replacement for anything we have in the current housing system. If it was, he's be sharing that information with us to take some of the heat off the housing debate.

Yeah, he's been very clear in communicating this. Having also said they're delaying it given public reception and comments, it wouldn't surprise me if people are expecting more out of it than it will be. Any buildings on it can be only for exterior looks as far as I'm concerned. If we're able to decorate a yard to hang out with our friends in, let the minions I never summon run wild, and grow Chocobo food I'll be 100% satisfied. Anything more than that's just gravy on the fries.
