Player housing So very disappointed

So from the Yoshi videos that I have seen translated I can not state how they could take something people want and make it a total nightmare. No single player housing, having to buy plots on the market, and the extreme costs for fc only housing. I want a house like so many other games have not a guild/free comp base. I am having a really hard time understanding why they think adding something people want, yet making it something people can not get is going to help the game grow.

IGN link for it, you can find plenty of translation for the prod live letter online as well.

Q: When will individual housing be implemented?

A: It will be around half a year after patch 2.1’s release.

Wait, that's not coming at all?
...Maybe I should rethink my subscription for the next round of payment.

It will come at a "later" update and with updates running 3 months apart yea its going to be a LOOOOOOOONG time , he said I cant find the translation but it would be 6 months past the 2.1 for players

A Player Housing system is also being introduced in FF XIV’s 2.1 update. Eventually allowing players to purchase individual houses of three different sizes, at first this feature will be limited to Free Companies only. While rumored to be incredibly expensive, owning a home offers several significant benefits, including up to 380 different decorations, chocobo raising (of which very little is known about at this time), the ability to acquire various crafting and leveling buffs via housing structures, and more.

At TGS, A Realm Reborn’s Producer Naoki Yoshida mentioned that plans are in the works to implement common workspaces allowing players to work together to craft larger items (as opposed to just single-player equipment

"at first this feature will be limited to Free Companies only."
single player housing will come later

it was said that you can buy the house by your self, or pool money with your FC and buy one for the group. you can do both -.- Also the high cost is there for a reason. Not every Tom Dick and Harry can come in and just buy a house, you have to save for it. (Yes I am broke right now btw)

I find that reading a lot of articles about things like this just leads to lots of misinformation.

player houseing is said to come out 6month once the 2.1 is release it could come later or sooner just have to wait and see. Also if the only reason you paying a game is to have a house then i think you playing the wrong game lol.

To be honest I'd rather they don't implement housing at all and give us more end game contents than CT...

Think your missing the point , I get your f off if you don't like everything white knight response here but once again how is this going to help the game get more players by making player housing not aval to all but fc's

Personal housing is going to be added later. Check the official notes for full details. Official notes are in the dev tracker.

I think the favored Free Company Housing by SE before having SIngle PLayer housing is the really WRONG way to start out, if not stupid and a taunt to all players.

Yoshi showcased a small player home but that itself cost almost arount 800K, nbd... but making it resticted for only FC? Does that mean there's restrictions or prerequisites to follow?

I don't want to share my house and live with anyone, I want to be king of my own "castle"!
Housing shouldn't be something exclusive for the military then something practical after so much disappointment. It's like all the hype for player housing was for naught.
