FC house prices is a step in the right direction for this game! Less casual friendly.

Casual gaming = playing "a little"
40M gils for the "worst" house = farm hard.

Yes, those prices "kill" the casual gaming. But, for myself, i prefer HARD content, than easy things you have to do hundred (and more) times to have anything.
I would prefer a really hard fight you have to do with your FC to buy house than collecting 40M and more gils for a garden shed

Good thing these aren't prices for PLAYER housing. You don't have to come up with the gil alone. I think a lot of people are missing that point.

Really? So I'm imagining all the threads where FC's are saying "My FC can't even afford the smallest lot?" I'm imagining the fact that my own small FC can't either? Who are these casuals who are perfectly capable of affording their own house that you speak of? By the way you realize a small house is barely big enough to fit 8 people, right? 1-10 people are the target group for a small house which is absurdly expensive for that amount of people. 100+ Member FC's are not the norm nor are they a "Small FC"

You realize many casuals form FC's for their friends/families? You realize that most FC have less than 30 people? You realize that most CASUAL free companies don't have a lot of members? Do you even know what a casual free company is or what even a casual is? Casuals make up 90% of the user base (SE's own words) 90% of the player base will not be part of a FC that has a small house let alone a medium/large. Ergo it is not casual friendly and it won't be casuals owning these houses.

20 members, 1 to 2M (if you wait 3 month or not).
Some FC have less than 20 members that come in game every day...

Farm = easy and no brain game. nothing fun in it. But, why not use those price and add a hard boss to kill that will allow the FC to buy a house?
Yoshida said housing will be for everyone, its ok on some servers, but not on legacy servers...
