Bashing so much on the Devs and Yoshi-P? You should be ashamed.

[Krr]

How dare customers criticize the development team in charge of a property worth millions of dollars after a blatant demonstration of dishonesty and repeated mishandlings of the product they pay for. It's not as if their actions are given immense power to affect the experiences of thousands of people, "just a video game" or not!

What about the corporate masters' FEELINGS, you guys!?

[Soda]

So lots of people are ragging and bring Yoshi-P and the devs down and they seem to forget how hard they have been working and how they resurrect the game.
I know that we are always excited about what's coming every patch and that this one kinda let lots of ppl down but bashing Yoshi and the team and even asking for Yoshi's resignation? what is wrong with everyone?
Suddenly all of you forgot their dedication?

I'm sorry bro but this is something Tanaka from 1.0 would pull. Complete and utter failures like this are what led to 1.0. You don't need to white-knight this time.

One can criticise a game/dev team without being rude or demanding someone quit their job.

Maybe that's the OP's point?

oshi should've never said that housing was going to be affordable and starting around 850k.

Before you accuse someone, you should at least get your FACTS right. Yoshida NEVER said that personal housing would start at around 850k. The original verbal exchange was Yoshi talking one of the Devs that 850k would not be enough, thanks to some mis translations and other reports since, that exchange seems to have been revised by commentators opinions, and the actual FACTS have been forgotten or ignored by many. Yoshi may well have said things like personal and FC housing would be separate, and the pricing would be more affordable, but in all fairness, he never, ever said that the guideline price for personal housing was 850k gil.

He did say it would be separate and more affordable, though.

Indeed, as I said..."Yoshi may well have said things like personal and FC housing would be separate, and the pricing would be more affordable". I acknowledge that, I'm not defending the implementation of personal housing, I just wish for people hurling insults and accusations to at least have the courtesy to do so from a factual basis. Spitting venom about 850k prices is pointless since it was NEVER said.

So right now, on my server (Balmung), the cheapest FC houses range from 31~40 million (and there are plenty of FCs that have been waiting a long time for a chance to buy a house).

Yup, looks more affordable.

just to clarify, they're not doubling the amount of wards, just doubling the amount of land in each ward.

Indeed, I caught that in the message too, and it immediately made me wonder how they intend to double the amount of land, that smacks of redesigning the wards. Thing is, my FC mates and I carefully selected our location and spent months working together to finance the purchase ad build. So, if they rework the ward design to double the available land, what happens to the location we so carefully selected? I'm already concerned about the invalidation of FCs by allowing individuals all the housing perks of a Free Company, are we to expect our prime locations to be screwed over as well?

It's true he said 850k "won't be enough" to get a house, but on the very same quote he said "prices will be completely separate from free company housing, and, naturally, far more affordable"....which of course was an outright lie.

I don't care how much housing costs, 4m, 5m, 30m, 150m....whatever.....what irks me it's the lie.

[TheUltimate3]

If they had told us a week or so ago that the prices wouldn't be different, due to to changes in development would they then be liars?

And do you say "It is better to ask for forgiveness, then permission."?

Snip

Oh excuse me miss white knight of SE. Forgive me for the 850k misunderstanding. Doesn't even matter- if you want to defend the fact that they said one thing and totally did another and it poor design of how personal housing was even brought in to this game. So be it. I have nothing more to say to you with that attitude of yours.

^ This right here. Again, even if the 850k thing was made up the fact still remains that he did say the prices would be different from the FC. It would have been nice if they were up front with us from the start.
