Housing price adjustments announced

As promised in PLL 29, SE has announced upcoming housing price adjustments for the new housing wards being added in Patch 3.3. Instead of having different pricing tiers for the different servers, all worlds will have the same priced plots.

  • Small plots:  3 – 3.75 Million Gil
  • Medium plots: 16 – 20 Million
  • Large plots: 40 – 50 Million

The cost of unsold plots will go down every 6 hours, to a minimum price of half the original value 30 days after patch release. There will be a total of 4 new wards added to each city’s housing area, for a total of 720 new housing plots per server. A full rundown of the changes, including the old pricing structure, is available on the Lodestone.

Producer Live Letter XXX airs Sunday, May 22

The date and time has been announced for the next Producer Live Letter. Broadcasting from Akita, Yoshi-P will be discussing Patch 3.3 part 2 and will be showing off new trailers and live game footage. Main scenario writer Natsuko Ishikawa will also be making an appearance and answering questions with Yoshi-P posed by players on the Official Forums and sent during the live stream via Twitter using #XIVLive.

The stream will go live Sunday, May 22nd at 2 AM PST on the FFXIV Twitch channel.

Congratulations Aya (@Dancing_Fighter) on joining the FFXIV Community Team

We at Phoenix Down Radio want to congratulate Aya (@Dancing_Fighter on Twitter, DancingFighter on Twitch) for joining the FFXIV NA Community Team. Her appointment was announced at the end of Duty Commenced Episode 12, and she will be going by “Sicycre” on the Official forums.

Luna and I were fortunate enough to meet her at Anime Detour 2 weeks ago, and were extremely happy to have gotten the chance to talk with and meet her there. You could imagine our surprise and excitement when they brought her on the show, we were so excited and happy for her! We can’t wait to catch up with her at FanFest coming up later this year to congratulate her in person!

Inside look at the new 24-man dungeon

The devs have been busy getting ready for Patch 3.3, and building up the hype. Today they gave us a look into the new 24-man raid content, the Weeping City of Mhach, and talked about their play-testing to make sure the content is balanced as well as fun.

The new dungeon looks really beautiful, and I hope the game play is just as stunning.

But this last screenshot had me flashing back to my FFIX days… WHY SE, WHY?!?!?!
