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

[KupoSan]

This is something I don't understand. A good amount of things on this game are "Rank" based. Why not do the following (Animal Crossing based thinking): Sell the land with a small house, let's say, $3 million. It's the smallest of the small, maybe it can only hold 5 people. This is known as Rank 1 housing. For an upgrade of, let's say, $2 million gil, you can get a Rank 2 house that increases capacity to 10 people. Rinse and repeat, so on and so forth increasing the Rank of housing for money.

This would allow everyone to buy houses, keep everything fair having everyone pay the same, but if you wanted bigger and better, you could pay bigger and better. This would make it to where, if you got a small house but wanted to upgrade to a larger house, you wouldn't just lose the small house all together. This would also make it to where you did not have to pay a huge lump sum, $100+ million gil, but slowly upgrade as you and your FC obtained gil.


The downside would be the issues with having server space, since it would be better priced for everyone. But, if you added rankings to houses and let them increase in size keeping the price the same, then everyone would have a chance. Could you get the BIGGEST and BEST first day of release? If you had the money. Isn't that how it's set up now? But nearly everyone would have conceivable access day one with buying the Rank 1 smallest house.

Just my idea. I don't understand their logic either. :P

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.
