FC Housing costs for these Worlds: I can't even math anymore~!

[JibeMalkieri]

Shouldn't one of the perks of having played this game (being legacy) been being able to reach content like this sooner? why make us grind even more now, when most of us did grinding in 1.0? once again not asking for anything to be "Given to us" but I think having standard pricing across the board is only fair...

[Aerin]

technically .14% IS 14%...

as .14 = 14%

but yea, the prices on ALL worlds is absolutely absurd...

If you bother to do the math you'll see it is .14%. Let's say the starting value is 8mil, in order to get the values they're showing you need to do 8,000,000 * .9986 (.14%) to get the appropriate value for every six hours. If you tried to do 14% you'd be doing 8,000,000 * .86 every 6 hours which would make the price plummet to 50% in much less than the 90 days they outline.

Really wonder what is YoshiP doing when he came up with this. :/

I think we have to see the plots of land before we make a judgment about them. One thing that occurs to me is with FC members potentially numbering in the hundreds, and with alliances of FC potentially in the works, that 312 million gil plot is probably supposed to house something more like a feudal town than a suburban duplex. Also keep in mind Japan uses the yen so normal prices in Japanese culture have more zero's at the end than the equivalent item would cost in NA/EU currency. The gil is probably meant to be equivalent to the yen not the dollar or euro.

From the patch notes:

* The price will reduce a maximum of 360 times in 90 days and will will fall to half its starting price.

I think that's rather clear. It will never go below half of its starting price.

Now, find something else to nitpick or just go away since you're not really affected by these outlandish prices.

Thing has been said clear already.

Small: Costly but "reasonable".
Medium: Way to damn high, less than 50 just can`t make it.
Large: I dont even...

I wonder if SE has a buisness with RMTs, cause, right now, housing the only thing that is doing, is putting RMTs back on the scene, they are happy. Im from cactuar, and since the prices were exposed, RMTs have multiplied in the passing ours. They are the only ones happy with all of this.

Ah... So real world currency comes into place. I see what he did there... Lol.

[Filthy]

Do we even know how much the houses cost?. Everyones over reacting to the price of land, how do we know we can't buy a small plot then buy a big house for cheap?.

[Seraphita]

All I have to say is....
I hope the personal housing is free.
My FC has been saving since they mentioned FC housing and we still don't have enough for a medium house. lol

[Cassius]

Soon: A NPC located in every main city will allow you to have mortgages at variable rates of refunding and the ability to go under 0 gil. Subprimes crisis inside FFXIV ARR: Here I come!


Now you gotta be rich in a game to even have access to all the features of it.

[Mamakat]

The only way I could even think about justifying these prices is if they never applied the redenomination to our gil. But they did... So the only FC who can afford a decent house are 1) gillies or 2) FC who sold Titan wins when it was en vogue. I know there are people who (for some reason I can't understand) will stand up for these prices and try to throw around hateful comments about casual players blah blah blah. I'm sorry but why should people be FORCED to join a large free company if they just want to play with friends or suffer the punishment of not being able to experience a house for a LONG time. You can't even say "stop QQing casuals" because this doesn't just hinder casual players, it hinders every player aside from the super rich. People need to stop trying to stand up for this, because there's no excuse for this kind of rip off... I mean come on.
