This whole personal housing thing stinks of the fundamental flaw behind SE's housing system - and Yoshi states it in the very quote in the OP. They think the house itself is the reward, and that all the effort should be put into endlessly grinding gil to earn it. Because grinding gil is totally fun, yup.

They'd make a lot more people a lot happier if they flipped that philosophy upsidedown. The house should be a given. The reward should come from upgrading and decorating. Of course, that's not actually possible with the absolutely bare-bones housing system SE has created. It's lightyears behind most other MMOs in terms of customizability, which means I guess they had to put up that gil barrier... because otherwise people would run out of stuff to do with housing very quickly.

It's a huge flaw. Good thing I can go chill elsewhere in a game with a housing system that is actually fun.
