This is something I don't understand. A good amount of things on this game are "Rank" based. Why not do the following (Animal Crossing based thinking): Sell the land with a small house, let's say, $3 million. It's the smallest of the small, maybe it can only hold 5 people. This is known as Rank 1 housing. For an upgrade of, let's say, $2 million gil, you can get a Rank 2 house that increases capacity to 10 people. Rinse and repeat, so on and so forth increasing the Rank of housing for money.
This would allow everyone to buy houses, keep everything fair having everyone pay the same, but if you wanted bigger and better, you could pay bigger and better. This would make it to where, if you got a small house but wanted to upgrade to a larger house, you wouldn't just lose the small house all together. This would also make it to where you did not have to pay a huge lump sum, $100+ million gil, but slowly upgrade as you and your FC obtained gil.
The downside would be the issues with having server space, since it would be better priced for everyone. But, if you added rankings to houses and let them increase in size keeping the price the same, then everyone would have a chance. Could you get the BIGGEST and BEST first day of release? If you had the money. Isn't that how it's set up now? But nearly everyone would have conceivable access day one with buying the Rank 1 smallest house.
Just my idea. I don't understand their logic either. :P -
12-17-2013, 12:24 PMSanjiroLionheartAppreciated :) But I still have a bit of an issue here, that post was made almost a full month prior to the housing preview on the Lodestone link I provided. Wouldn't one think that they've determined it to be individual housing after that month, hence why they reference it AS individual housing? And to that random YOU DUG YOUR HOLE etc...yes, I know I'm digging, but I believe I'm at least bringing up valid statements / sources and at least not just spewing random nonsense. SE...don't make me eat my words >.>Quote:

Oh my god, will you please stuff it. They clearly stated that they are split between making it separate and making it a part of FC housing. They've outright stated that. Please stop trying to dig out of your hole. You dug it, live in it.
Last line left it too open for this, which was an awesome movie btw :) ♥ Olaf!

No one wants to work toward any goals nowadays. People just want the best gears in game directly sent to their mailbox upon a new patch releases.
Yoshida-san, please send them the best gears and one instance out of 1,500,000 of the best land because they pay 15 bucks to your salary every month. -

If im not able to buy a land/house cuz of them being overpriced, at least give a mog house like FF11 that we fix up... even in Aion (F2P) you get a free place to live and some what fix up, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCjTM8wWLt4 surly SE you can do better then NC...

12-17-2013, 12:31 PMYolteotlDon't get me wrong I want personal 'House'-ing also, but I've always learned to never count on anything from SE unless you can quote very specific details. Problem with the Housing is that there were specific examples of what Yoshi-P stated would be the ideal accrued gil values (for small housing), and then once the actual prices came out his statement was waaaay off.Quote:

So they make the price so high most if not all people cannot afford it. Till they have more finances from fees they could then open more spots and in turn reduce costs. Males sense, kinda crappy, but thats what it seems to be.Quote:
