The next patch for Final Fantasy XIV arrives on January 30th, and that naturally means a whole lot of content for players to explore. It does not mean that you’ll be able to purchase a new house right away, however. House purchasing for the six new wards added to all four districts will be enabled a week after the patch, and at first it will be oriented toward free companies only. There will also be new restrictions in place so that each player can have one personal house and one free company house per server, so hoarding houses on alts won’t be possible. We’ll find out more as housing draws closer.
And that’s just one of the many things in place for the patch; there are also job adjustments, more glamour options, and the complete removal of elemental properties. Yes, elemental materia is being removed, and players in Eureka (which is coming in 4.2.5) will have an entirely new system based around elemental changes and a new advancement board. If you’re just interested in seeing what the game has to offer in terms of visuals and teases of the story, of course, you can check that out just below in the full trailer for the patch.
