Latest comment from Yoshida regarding Housing + Inventory space issue

[ToffeeCoffee]

I'd be asking him why the Game Surveillance Unit isn't actioning bot reports.
Considering those bots are sitting on millions and millions of gil, wouldn't that be part of why he thinks we are all super rich?

[Nalien]

Gee, I do remember making a considerable amount of gil...in 1.0. Whatever happened to that, I wonder?
[B]
Oh right! 90 percent of it was removed!

I wish people would stop bringing this up... You lost nothing; they took a 0 off of your Gil, and they took a 0 off the cost of everything in the game.

They did this with very good reason; to close the gap on returning players and existing players. They could have just removed all your Gil and then everyone would be on the same footing, but they decided to give us a break and just cut a 0 off everything. Apparently a year later new and returning servers still aren't balanced as far as economies go, so maybe they should have just removed all our Gil.

I don't even see how this matters to this topic, either. You saved in 1.0? That's nice. You also had a year of ARR to save in as well then, where they practically brought back the ridiculous Leve rewards (I can get 1,500 Gil off crafting leves, by 1.0 standards that's 15,000 Gil). If you cannot afford a small house at this point, you're doing something wrong. I didn't save up Gil in 1.0 since I was late to the party (came back just in time to kick down Darnus) and I can afford several small houses, were there actually any left to buy. Going for a medium size though, which I cannot afford, until a few weeks pass, then I can.

Are you or any of your co-workers famous? Does your company depend on your every single action? One misstep and tumbles down Humpty Dumpty?

I am an English teacher, I stand for over 60% of my day as well when I not in class. But that's not special.

What I meant is, with all the dev's I've seen so far including Celebs for a meet and greet, this was the most personal out of them all.

Also, I respect your opinion. Personally, I think it would be pointless if it's available straight from the start

Hmm, I'm heading to TGS again tomorrow. I'll ask him more if I can.

If there is anything that you would to ask *CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACKS ONLY*, I will see if I can jab more information outta him.

I know it's not about housing, but (unless someone shows otherwise) no-ones asked, that I've seen, what the sub class to unlock NIN will be. Will it be PUG or something else? So we know what gear to focus on in prep for 2,4.

You have to realize, a war against RMT cannot be won. They are like roaches, they always find ways to breach the wall.

Also, from what I've gathered. The account management team monitors the gil retained by every player, monitoring how much gil passes through. Any suspicious amounts are subject to bans. They also ban like 500~1500 accounts for these once per week.

[xXRaineXx]

Sorry but, it is unlikely that this will be answered. We will probably find out more thru the Live Letter tomorrow.

But I do remember Yoshida saying that DoW gear will work with NINJA, though they will also have their own unique sets.

Please keep the trolling to a minimum.

I'd like someone to ask him why it's no different to FC housing and why we had to wait so long for it to be implemented? I know he gave some sort of reason as to why they opted to lump it in with FC housing, space and all that, but really, why the 8-9 month wait in between? Also they could have at least told us before hand 'oh by the way guys it'll just be the exact same thing, we're just working on server stuff or whatever.' Then I would have had the understanding way back when, and I'd have understood it was going to be something I could work towards. I wouldn't have felt the massive disappointment I felt when I checked those patch notes first thing Tuesday morning.
Also, just additionally - really pricing isn't the issue in my eyes (you get something like 150k a week minimum just from DR bonus if you play the job in need. Just from the bonus! That's not counting the daily bonus/gil drops/mat drops) I really just want to know why it's not different and why we couldn't have been told it was going to be the same despite numerous, numerous threads questioning/wondering how personal housing would work.

[Rustyhagun]

Blizzard, Carbine, SOE just to name a few.

I said Live letters. not dev posts, blogs.

Ive been around since the start. and I havent seen such dedication from a producer, Like yoshi. So ill give him the benefit of the doubt

[maxthunder1]

All the communicating he has done for this game... I think we can cut him some slack where this is concerned.

They give us live letters for crying out loud... what other company does this?

Cut him some slack? Really ? No!!! He stated things would not happen at the end of 1.0 but we all know how that turned out, they basicly lied to the players, and now he says that the information was vague for player housing? Really? Thats a load of crock right there as players have quoted what he has said. The fact is he didnt bother to bring the changes to the players and got major flack for it.

This, this and more this.... 9 months to do about a day of coding, and a week of qa? It can't take much longer then that to just strip FC requirements.
