Personal Housing *SHOULD* be expensive...aka Yet Another Housing Topic

[Kosmos992k]

I think you answered your own question with these two lines. Same land, same permits. They didn't ever say you had to buy a separate building permit with FC Housing iirc...

Re-read the patch notes, there is a distinction at the time of purchase between individual and FC. Nothing else is revealed.

Going off of what you were saying: Same land means it has to be same price.
So, would it be reasonable if the SAME house was built for less gil just because it's a personal house? A Small FC house will be the same size as a Small Personal house. Why? Because it's the same land. The only difference is if you're able to buy a FC House but haven't is you make sure you buy it as the correct type of housing.
As for the building permits, Smalls run about 200k-400k for a building permit(estimated, can't remember what my FC paid). Are you saying they can charge less for an individual's home construction and not for an individual's home land?

Incidentally, Yoshida can say that the house will be cheaper and be perfectly correct, even if the land itself is the same price. I don't recall the patch notes indicating the costs of the house permits (it might have, I was skimming), but it did layout in detail the cost of the LAND, not the house.

The 2.1 patch notes didn't say price of construction permits either...

Perhaps you should review construction of homes in general....You can buy the same acre of land and build a 1000 square foot ranch style home with no basement, or a two story colonial style home with a complete basement, the cost of the LAND is identical, the cost of actually preparing the land for the type of home to be built and then building the home are not.

Except we're being led to believe, by SE, that the housing is EXACTLY the same. Not a "I only want this size house so I can pay less" platform.

How about this: buy a personal house brand new with screenshot of the price when you buy it, buy the permit for the house with screenshot of the price when you buy it, then go inside and take screenshots of all four walls. Post the screenshots here.

My FC room is getting revamped again, time to lock it til done... I got better stuff to spend my gil on than overpriced personal housing.

Hi Mae I wish I felt like I had something I wanted to spend my money on more than a personal house but sadly this is what I had been saving for only to get completely ripped off. No way I am buying one now though...I'd rather quit to be honest.

300k is about all I'ma spend tbh, don't really need to be dropping up to 4.5mil for a house at this time. A personal room is just fine for me.
