Housing Availability Infographic (large image)

[Miyu20]

Thank you SeiMinuet for this wonderful informative picture. A picture is worth a thousand words as they say Did you make it yourself? It's beautiful! Teach me how to make something like this

Judging by this information, it seems that Yoshida-san is trying to make housing a status symbol. Whether people agree with it or not, I think he should outright state this...or wait...has he? If housing were, indeed, like all the other things that Yoshida-san has made easier in this game, made [bold]too[/bold] easy to obtain, then that might be the proverbial last straw for a lot more people than this issue is. I think Yoshida-san has struck a nice balance of adding more housing to encourage further deification of the people who do have a home by new subscribers and still adding other interesting content.

Granted I have yet to try out this new content but I am excited with anticipation. If Yoshida-san were to make housing any easier than it is now, I might actually quit the game. Who wants a house when any Jane Doe can just go out and buy one like a gyasahl green.

The pricetag is what makes housing difficult for average players to obtain. For those who have been saving up and STILL were unable to obtain a house it was due to limited space. For example, I logged in as soon as the servers were online (around 7am my time) and within three minutes every single small house was taken. Essentially it came down to luck rather than difficulty, and it is very frustrating for those who spent months anticipating housing and earning gil towards the purchase.
