It appears Japanese players are in agreement.

Thanks to Google Translate...

Translation of title: The price of land is too high

Translation of OP: Well it's probably not gonna change anything but I still can't help it so I'm gonna provide feedback on this.

After looking at the patch note, I was surprised at how extremely highly priced legacy server plots are.
Even M size fifth class plots start at 0.15 billion gil...even after 3 months it's still 80 million gil...

Yes there are probably people with that much money, but aren't they just a very small portion of the population?
And it'll belong to an FC, so I also think it's not exactly right to have one person pay all that...

I don't know how much gil the system calculated to exist on the server after the patch, but isn't this price a little too high?

If you say real life land costs about that much, well I think that's got nothing to do with Eorzea.
This is very sad. I was hoping we could enjoy it more leisurely. </translation>

Remember, that's Google Translate, I'd love for someone with actual knowledge of Japanese to translate it. Thanks, Zfz!

Either way: 657 likes so far. Let's add some weight from the non-Japanese speaking world to the group that are likely to be listened to first! 'Like' that first post of theirs!

I'm...rather surprised at how cutting some of those remarks are, relatively speaking.

Thanks for this. I'm glad to see that the entire community is united in outrage over this.

[Cyrus-Wallace]

Yeah, I like the game so far, but those prices are unreal. I'm glad the JAP playerbase agrees with this, so we have better chances to get this modified soon.

the entry level housing shouldn't be this expensive. its just dumb. for bigger houses yeah maybe, but come on. a small shack? plus u dont get money back if u wanna upgrade to a bigger plot. i dont understand this concept.

I don't care about that little issue. the big problem for me with this patch is holy getting nerfed.

[Thagyr]

The Japanese forums have a lot in common with ours. There are people complaining about the prices on Legacy especially, acknowledging that new players have gone to those servers as well who would be out of luck.

There are even a number complaining about the nerfs to classes.

The only difference I tend to see is that the Japanese upvote comments a lot. Pages and pages of liked comments from the 100s to the 400s.

[Ryans]

Jesus, a lot more Japanese players must read the forums. 600+ likes in a day is more than 6 times the amount of likes a popular post gets on the English forums.

Nice, thanks!!!

I guess they calculated that price based on the RMT's bank account? lol
