J'hared started in Ul'dah because I wanted him to be a gladiator...but I vastly prefer Limsa Lominsa in terms of aesthetics and atmosphere. I'd be pretty disappointed if I had to reroll entirely just to be able to live there and I don't care much for having a house in Ul'dah. It'd be a major blow to my enthusiasm for this game if we can't change our character's city state when player housing is implemented.
Nothing official that I know of.
I was under the assumption that housing purchase had neither to do with your City starting state, nor your Grand Company allegiance. (In part because during the Grand Company quests they state that you'll be able to change what company you
re with and because I imagine A Free company founded by a member of Gridania but aligned to Limsa would be peeved having to offer up ownership to purchase the house and switch back.)
Of course I wouldn't put all my hopes in such, but I don't think that will be the case, so far Yoshi-p has been pretty open about what limitations will be included when selecting something unalterable in the past.
Side note, Are you familiar with Fantasia? I'm not, but if its like the reset at phase 4 you'd be able to change your starting city that way if the worst does occur.
I'll admit i'm fortunate in liking Ul'dah and having it as my home since I re-rolled in 1.0 so I don't know much about cross region accessibility.
