Okay, so, dataminers. Love them or hate them, they've pretty much confirmed The Firmament is going to be a housing ward. I know that when you get there, Count Fortemps asks you what you know about player housing, and you can tell him "I own a house." very VERY heavily implying that the zone you're in that looks like a housing ward is a housing ward. But, also you can teleport to The Firmament through the Ishgard aetheryte menu, just like a normal housing ward. But, dataminers found even more. The zone is flagged as a 2.0 zone. So it's connected to Ishgard, but you could in theory teleport there if there was an aetheryte. Just like every other housing ward, including Shirogane. Even if you don't have access to 4.0+ you can still teleport to Shirogane houses. And, it even shares file pathing with other housing wards.

Now, when these houses will become available, nobody is sure. I would be surprised if it opens up before 5.5. I could even see it opening up in 6.0 or 6.1. But 2 whole years is such a tease. I really hope it opens up before that, I'm a DRG at heart, I need to live in Ishgard.

Edit: But, also, I love that Squenix is just like "you want more housing? build it yourself!". It's like they're giving you the illusion that you the player are solving the housing crisis.
