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

Have you seen this? Made me laugh that Real Life has done a strip about this. From here http://reallifecomics.com/wp-content...31217_3101.jpg

This is full of win.

Dear Yoshida-san. Please take note. When your feature starts being ridiculed by web comics, it's time to give a long, hard look at it. I hope it won't take Famitsu's comic to do the same before you actually notice.

Not to sound like im complaining but if ur worried about players buying up all the housing because they are rich would the obvious answer be to make it so fc's could only purchase 1 house and give the rest of us a chance tobuy a house instead of just these wealthy players you are trying not to let buy everything. It just seems idiotic too me that your solution to stopping the wealthy from buying them all is to make it so only the wealthy can buy them. In the meantime the rest of us have to wait to get content which we have been looking forward to for ages whilst the wealthy get to buy it all up before we can get achance. I mean come on how many months we going to have to wait for this new content we got promised just because we are not hoarding gil.

Again. This. The simple solution is normally the best.

I think the scheme is fine. If a guild wants to be the first to buy a house and get the biggest one, thats a 120mil+ sink, thereby taking out a rich guild relatively fast. The other option would have been to put up houses cheap and have that same guild buy everything up and sell it for even higher prices. I just find it funny so many people are crapping their pants because they can't build their perfect house on day 1. I miss the days when people just played the game they were given instead of trying to change every stupid thing because it doesn't fit their personal agenda. What's even more laughable are people canceling their sub because of side content to the game not being attainable instantly. SE is doing fine IMO, and im glad i have something to strive for for a few months instead of being handed everything and then choosing to quit out of boredom.

Hello strawman argument. If you really want to come argue from your nice server with much lower prices, at least do so with a real argument, and not with fallacies, because they don't really do much to support what you say. They only demonstrate how weak your position is.

Most people aren't complaining because they can't get the "biggest" house. They aren't complaining because they can't build the "perfect house" on day one. They're complaining because they can't afford *A* house. Not even the smallest plot in the least desirable place, due to extremely overinflated prices.

Housing hasn't been advertised as "side" content. It has been hyped as the most relevant part of patch 2.1 by the former President and CEO of Square Enix himself, on every single live letter from a year ago to now. Square Enix can only blame itself if a lot of people had high expectations for it. Housing has been hyped for December 17th 2014 and people want to be able to enjoy at least the entry level of it by that date, not in March the 17th. And they're right to expect that.
