Decreasing accessibility doesn't decrease the amount of people who want a house.

Surely it would be better to introduce things to reduce demand by making the housing system have better features instead of locking even more people out of it because of higher prices.

I believe everyone should be able to get a house or alternatively have a great apartment (with features like those I mentioned in my previous post). I really don't like the idea of putting up an incredibly high gil wall for those only entering the content. This is especially bad for fcs because they get the most potential use from houses.

Players are already frustrated as it is with being unable to purchase a house. The solution to this is not to make it even more difficult to purchase one.

The game does need gil sinks but there are better ways of introducing them that don't involve putting up a wall in front of players.
