Square Enix announced that it will temporarily pause all FFXIV automatic housing demolition on the game’s North American servers due to the fires in Los Angeles, California.
::
Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC worldwide, and the FFXIV automatic housing demolition is temporarily paused until further notice.
::
It isn’t uncommon for Square Enix to take natural disasters, in-game issues, and other situations into account when it comes to FFXIV and automatic housing demolition.
::
Typically, there is a counter that would determine when unattended homes in FFXIV would be torn down so the lots could be offered up to others, but a pause on automatic housing demolition halts that and ends that process on servers.
