i want to purchase a house but...

[MugenMugetsu]

OP, get yourself a medium while you can! If you don't you'll only end up regretting it because there will be plenty of other people buying up all the plots with no concern regarding others' needs. Gotta look out for Number 1 before you worry about anyone else. I commend your thoughtfulness regarding being willing to settle with a small so a FC could have a medium!

[MomomiMomi]

If you take a small, you might be taking a house from someone who can only afford a small. Take what you can afford if that's what you want.

[Snugglebutt]

If can afford a medium, buy a medium.

If you don't buy it someone else will. Think about yourself.

To follow on this thought, if you don't buy it, someone will buy the lot so they can sell the lot at a huge mark up after all the plots vanish. Do the right thing, buy your dream house.

If the question you were considering were whether to buy a house or not, then considering FCs would be valid. (It wouldn't be the deciding factor for very many people, but your concern would make sense.)

However, if you're considering buying a small instead of a medium, that doesn't benefit FCs trying to get a house. If anything it could do just the opposite, since judging by past ward openings, it's the small plots that are in highest demand and sold out first. You might settle for buying a small rather than a medium and just cause a small newish FC that doesn't have twenty million gil saved up to go homeless because the only plots left for them are medium and large when they can only afford a small.

It's actually more beneficial to other potential buyers if you move away from the most popular size that will sell out first towards the less popular sizes that will remain available for quite a while. And in this market that generally means getting the biggest one you can afford is the polite way to buy one.

OP, it's your Gil, you earned it, which is harder for one person to do on their own, as compared to a group of people in an FC.

Go buy the medium you want ASAP, and start reading Ayn Rand.

i want a medium sized one but i would feel bad for all the free companies without a house, so i am thinking about getting a small. what i really want is a medium omg what should i do?

Why should you feel bad for something SE has royaly screwed up?

That's Square Enix's problem to deal with not yours.

Don't see why you all are questioning the OP's feelings on the matter. Not that hard to spot or understand a considerate nature

This community or pretty much any MMO community pretty sure don't share his kind and considerate nature. Someone will buy a medium house and try to sell it to him for triple the price.
