Quote:just to confirm: the apartments are per ward (including subdivisions) and not one per country. This is confirmed by Yoshida during the recent Letter from the Producer at around 2:09:20 in the Twitch stream, and is also mentioned on the 4gamer summary of the stream which states:
ã“ã®ã‚¢ãƒ‘ルトメントã¯ï¼Œ3国ã®å†’険者居ä½åŒºã®å„区画ã«1棟ãšã¤å»ºã¡ï¼Œéƒ¨å±‹ã®ä»£é‡‘ã¯50万ギルã«ãªã‚‹ã¨ã„ã†ã€‚
The Japanese ff14wiki also clarifies:

Yoshida also mentioned on the live stream that, if it wasn't enough, they could still add more (but I tend to think this will be enough for all but the absolute busiest of servers, at least for now).
