Housing is coming in 2.2.

Well, that's how long it will be before anyone buys a house anyway.

So housing isn't a 2.1 feature, it's a 2.2 feature. They just put it in 2.1 patch notes on accident.

That's where we were all confused.

Silly us.

I didn't know the furniture bonus stats were released, where are you getting confirmation that the housing is useless?

Price is high yes, but I'm sure some will buy. Especially if the housing-tied gil buffs etc they mentioned before still exist.

Furniture has no bonus stats.

Banners do.

Didn't see banners in the patch notes.

The Primal Furniture was supposed to provide boosts I heard. There will be 2 Garuda Couches, 2 Ifrit Wall-Lamps, and 2 Exterior Titan Lamps....

Yoshi P stated, not everything that's coming in 2.1 is in the 2.1 patch notes.

so we will see it about 33 hours. ;-)

dude, it's not that bad, I saw an SS of players completing a treasure map and they got 500 gil, now if we take into account the 18 hour cooldown on treasure maps, you only need about 375,000 days to earn enough for the best house

I can see them using this obscene price gouging as a way to trick people into accepting a lower price, regardless of how ludicrously expensive it still is. Shady salesmen do this all the time, initially state a ridiculous price that no one would bother with, like, oh, 300,000,000+ for a plot of land, then lower it to around 100,000,000. It's still a hefty sum of cash, but now the sucker has the mindset of, "Wow, that's over half off, I haggled the shit out of this guy."

Scam artist gets the price range he really wanted, and the sucker leaves thinking he got a good deal.

Furniture doesn't have bonus stats. While housing will have functional features, this was never advertised to be one of them.

There are banners from each GC in the patch notes. Are those the ones ?

So pawn stores are scam artists...?

Actually its a 2.3 Feature. Personal Housing is 6 months away.

SE doesn't have the content done.

Easy fix:

Put housing in 2.1 anyway.
Charge more gil than anyone has.
Laugh uncontrollably every day.
???
Profit.

It sounded like in a previous live letter that they were debating giving us personal housing versus giving us a room in FC houses for that update...so I don't think they even know when yet, tbh.

Or the server capacity to run host them.

They're GC seal trade-ins, not crafted. Rofl. Check 'new GC items'.

Posted this in response to a similar comment on another thread, thought it was worth putting up here:

I can't think of more than 5-10 FCs on my server that possibly have that many members, and assuming for the sake of argument that their members are all mains with regular gil streams (not alts for RP or whatever), I still can't imagine more than a fraction of those players having more than a few 100k on hand. Maybe 1m, at which point theyd be donating their entire savings.

Indeed, most FC's I've seen of that size (not all, but most) are the kind of roflguilds that tend towards "invite first, ask questions later," so I can't imagine they'd have enough loyal players willing to cough up a million or more to fund this kind of venture.

So.. who exactly is going to be buying these?

If thats the case then why bother with FC housing? By 3 months FC housing is half the initial price, but 3 months after that you'll be able to get your own house.

Why would most FC donate significant amount of gil (which may not guarantee them a FC house) when they can save up?

2.2 seems rather optimistic.
