Apparently. Personal Housing can 850k?

The question was point blank raised about the amount of gil being required in the early video. The response then was to not worry too much about the pricing and that it would more than likely be lower than what was shown in the demo.

Could you please provide a source for that? All I remember is that the only answer they would give is that they were monitoring the economy, and would base the prices on that. I don't remember anything being said about the price in the video.

Would be great if it's that cheap.

I will see what I can do but it will take me a while to dig through the Dev Tracker. The video I'm thinking of was shown before the whole "monitoring the economy" bit.

This, I took to mean the houses are gonna be more than 850k but still we spend a whole thread stating they gonna be 850k. Why? It seems from that statement they are going to be more. Maybe not like fc housing but more.

I'm expecting them to be around 1 mil when it's all said and done, with the cheapest at or around that. I think that would be reasonable as much as I hope they stick to the 850k range.

Who's sticking to 850k? They never started at 850k.

I'm going by what I have heard and read. They also never started at all, at least not yet. I'd read through this thread a bit to catch yourself up.

Unless you can dump every single item you carry from your retainers and your own personal inventory and armour slots into the furniture you place in your homes.. I see no value here. It's just SERVER BANDWITH better used for : idk ... maybe a f..ing Tackle Box , Retainers that dont cost 2.00 a month more . GC Reward Items that are not complete waste of time.

Well, no, it has little to do with server bandwidth. It's funny to me that they're going to allow people to buy individual housing for gil, but extra retainers cost real money? That makes very little sense to me.

Funny thing about a game is that it's not real life.

I really dislike this counterpoint towards the cost of something. It's ridiculous to be so narrow-minded about it. Utilizing this argument, why should anything RL related be in the game? Why do we need to have anything be identical to RL? Why can't cloth be the most defensive armor type? Magic... it can do literally anything.

Chances are, you're thinking that's just stupid. It doesn't make any sense, it's not how things work, etc. Well why do those concepts, which are true IRL, have to exist and make sense in the game when the concept of cost justification shouldn't?
