I mentioned that they could possibly meant that "the prices we'll give this houses will be lower than what it is now", which is at best a misunderstanding and at worse misleading the context that the readers are supposed to get.
I must be misunderstanding something by the way you say "pricing".　Are you suggesting there should have been a different model for how to purchase housing? An auction type system, perhaps?　It's just shown that houses, even in the new wards, are far less expensive than FC housing was in 2.1。　It's not even comparable because 8～１０ million gil back in 2.1 would probably be closer to 30+ million gil right now. So Naoki was right when he said it would be more affordable. But as ZReport said, people thought 850k was going to be the baseline and failed to read further into it and got blind sided. Price should have never been a point of contention but space, but Tiggy posted just above you why that shouldn't be a problem either.
