An Open Letter to Yoshida-san: Please Slice One Zero Off the Housing Prices

ITT: Community Managers waltz through minefields

There must be enough long-term FC players to make this economically attractive to Square-Enix. As a solo player ... they lose my subscription. Ah, yes, it is a business not a game.

Evidently, even if I play for nine months - as a solo - I have NO chance to get a house.

House was one of my favorite parts of Skyrim.

Glad in real life I can buy my own home ... not forced to go in with group. Well, at least in some countries.

Everything about this is a huge slap in our faces. Servers will not hold more than a few houses? Oh ok, guess it's fine to set the prices at ridiculous amounts to make sure less than 1% of the player base will get a house in the foreseeable future.

Build. More. Servers. All of us pay a subscription.

No one is asking for free houses on patch day. But who about accomplishable goals? Something that doesn't take til 2067 to complete.

Could always delay pvp and use that server for more housing, but god forbid we delay an event that will most likely be dead in 6 months. We all know how much FF fans love to pvp.

I am not asking to get housing on day one. I haven't really seen anyone ask for that. I am asking that the goal be realistic and not require me to grind all day every day for months (or years) to achieve it.

Welcome to a long term goal, that's what they are, and there's plenty of people who enjoy them.


Some people don't enjoy hand outs. Some people enjoy working for their stuff, some people enjoy saying "I have this thing that nobody else has!" and you know what? That doesn't exist in this game right now. Housing is a way for people who want a reason to keep playing after they clear the story or beat a dungeon to play. Right now I log in once a week to clear BC and then I stop playing. Now I'll log in daily to do quest and look around for how I can make money at the market and contribute to my guild's long term goal of making money for a house.

And yet here you are posting and attacking me because I disagree with you, and I'm the one who has to prove myself apparently :V..

Well maybe you should look how you conduct yourself towards others in the first place. Its ok for people to have different opinions, its not to simply look down and snipe others because you differ.

Evidently, even if I play for nine months - as a solo - I have NO chance to get a house.

These are FC Houses, not personal houses, so of course you have no chance to solo-afford it. Wait until they release solo player housing before complaining you can't afford one by yourself.

[Aerlana]

So, we have to wait 2.2 patch? (3 month = major patch!)...
And if 50% cut isnt enough (the "worst" house will be for 20M on some servs... ) you will reduce the lower limtis and so? have to wait more and more the prices are going lower and lower? waiting one and half month more?

We have to say "god thank you for this"?

2.3, personnal housing, 1M for the worst house, and 10M on some servers?

[Luso]

It's funny when people on the forum pull up numbers from thin air. SE has the details on their game. Let them develop and adjust it to the way they interpret their data.

[Yoruichi4478]

Does this mean we 1.0 players are getting the gil back SE stole from us? I wish.

This is an FC house, not personal housing.
