Final Fantasy 14has announced that it’s turning housing demolition on for select worlds in the near future. This move will likely lead to more housing being available forFinal Fantasy 14players on those Worlds.
Final Fantasy 14doesn’t give players housing by default, or even a Mog House like its predecessor MMORPG,Final Fantasy 11. Instead, players can either use an inn, apartment, orpurchase a housing lot inFinal Fantasy 14. However, shortages in available housing lots have made this difficult for players.
Now,Square Enix has announcedthatFinal Fantasy 14will be turning housing demolition back on for European Worlds starting in August. This move will come alongside the launch of the 7.3 update forFinal Fantasy 14. Housing demolition has been disabled on European data centers since November 2024, due to weather disasters in the region.Final Fantasy 14occasionally pauses automatic housing demolitionto allow users impacted by major events like these a chance to focus on their real lives without having to worry about losing their in-game homes.
Final Fantasy 14 Housing Demolition Continues
Final Fantasy 14recently lifted the pause on automatic demolitionof housing on North American Worlds as well, which has led to an influx of housing lots becoming available again. Initially, the demolition was paused due to the disastrous impact of Hurricane Helene, starting in October 2024. It was slated to be lifted in early January, but Square Enix postponed the move due to the massive wildfires in Southern California. That pause was finally lifted in June 2025.
Those who haven’t entered their homes or Free Company inFinal Fantasy 14and are on a European World should consider doing so soon. Square Enix has warned that due to the way the demolition timer works, it may expire for some homeowners before the 7.3 maintenance is complete, so it would be wise to drop in prior to that.
