Players eager to secure a home in Final Fantasy XIV will need to navigate the game’s lottery system, which has been officially scheduled for December 2025. This system consists of specific periods for entering bids and receiving results, making it essential for players to be aware of the timeline to maximize their chances of securing a property.
The housing lottery operates in a structured format, divided into “entry period” and “results period” days. Players must place their bids during the designated entry periods, and if successful, they can finalize their purchases during the subsequent results periods. Notably, failure to claim a winning bid during the results period will result in the loss of the plot and a 50% forfeiture of the deposit, emphasizing the importance of timely participation.
