The Island Sanctuary could be a solution to FFXIV's crowded housing market. Buying a home has always been an issue, due to the large population of adventurers on each server. Currently, estates are the only way players can garden and raise their Chocobo. Houses are expensive and owning one is a rare opportunity. The Island Sanctuary in FFXIV seems to be an alternative for fans and can free up the marketplace.

Giving everyone access to a personal island is a massive change to the game. The Island Sanctuary in FFXIV allows for the freedom of expression like never before. Players will be able to invite friends and show off their own custom-made islands. Depending on how extensive the new feature is, some players may even spend the majority of their time decorating the area. Final Fantasy XIV fans can look forward to hearing more details about the Island Sanctuary as the release of Patch 6.2 draws closer.

Everything is already there and there is absolutely no problem, So please let's stop doing sad drama

Island sanctuary is literally not instanced housing, and it won't be anything close to housing. Stop using clickbait style articles, this journo is speculating and he's dead wrong. Yoshida has told players to lower their expectations and that it's going to be an area to let your minions run around and maybe gardening. The idea that it's going to somehow alleviate the housing crisis is pure copium.
