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

[Yolteotl]

Because it's meant to be affordable by a single person. Based on Yoshi's "20k per day for 3 or 4 months" statement, I'd guess personal houses will run around 2.5 million.

But that's going based on what we're seeing today. Since the prices of FC housing are sure to fall in the weeks ahead (and I'm not talking about the .14% drop every six hours), there's a good chance they'll be able to put up plots for personal housing for less than that once they've got everything ready.

Really? Because I'm pretty sure they never confirmed personal housing in the 1st place. They are still debating whether ppl get personal homes or just rooms inside the FC Housing

On a roll tonight aren't we...... Have a look at this http://www.usgamer.net/articles/squa...vp-and-housing Mainly I'd have you read the following: First up is player housing. Initially this will be a Free Company perk, but there are plans to roll out individual personal housing in the near future.

Tried to make it so you could visibly see it, and possibly avoiding situations like this in the future.... again.

Q: When will individual housing be implemented?

A: It will be around half a year after patch 2.1's release. Currently, we are split between implementing a personal room within a free company house or personal housing. Since the decision will have a huge impact on how many additional servers we'll need to prepare, we have to carefully consider the balance of the housing system. We believe it will take roughly six months to have everything planned out and prepared.

Ah welllllll SHIT lmao! To the terrifying Roe Female with the eyepatch....I believe ^ that right there...yeah...shit -.- BUT, any date on when that was? Seems like a dick move to post that on the Lodestone and then have a Q n A saying something fairly different. Way to set me up for foot > mouth SE, and well played you evil Dark Lala, but really, any chance you could link that ._.

Appreciated But I still have a bit of an issue here, that post was made almost a full month prior to the housing preview on the Lodestone link I provided. Wouldn't one think that they've determined it to be individual housing after that month, hence why they reference it AS individual housing? And to that random YOU DUG YOUR HOLE etc...yes, I know I'm digging, but I believe I'm at least bringing up valid statements / sources and at least not just spewing random nonsense. SE...don't make me eat my words >.>

Oh my god, will you please stuff it. They clearly stated that they are split between making it separate and making it a part of FC housing. They've outright stated that. Please stop trying to dig out of your hole. You dug it, live in it.

Clearly I don't want to live in a hole, I want to live in an individual house....I would gladly invite you to it, but I plan on having a massive fireplace so someone as frigid as yourself would surely melt.

Last line left it too open for this, which was an awesome movie btw ♥ Olaf!

Don't get me wrong I want personal 'House'-ing also, but I've always learned to never count on anything from SE unless you can quote very specific details. Problem with the Housing is that there were specific examples of what Yoshi-P stated would be the ideal accrued gil values (for small housing), and then once the actual prices came out his statement was waaaay off.

Yep thats what I gather from all these threads, they don't have the finances for the server space to give every FC a plot of land. So they make the price so high most if not all people cannot afford it. Till they have more finances from fees they could then open more spots and in turn reduce costs. Males sense, kinda crappy, but thats what it seems to be.

But it doesn't make sense. The only thing that would of made sense is to delay Housing until they had the servers implemented to handle it. How would it make sense to a FC that pays 600 million gil for a house on a server, and then once they finally put the servers in another FC can buy that same house for 60 million?
