To be fair, that pricing (most expensive was actually 625m for 1st class large) was because it was based on the high amount of gil around on specific legacy servers afaik and not because it was for FCs? For added context, the smaller servers at the same time had a range from 4m for 5th class small to 62.5m for 1st class large. Also, poking around there's comments linked to the PLL shortly after the FC launch and forum stuff that says people were complaining about the prices well before personals were a thing.

Either way, differentiating pricing would be... pretty negative, you'd expect everyone to get grandfathered in (particularly given people kept their extra homes after the purchase limitations) so it only hits people buying personals moving forward and if you were going to raise the pricing it seems like it makes more sense to hit both because FCs can just crowd fund from their members so they're still like to have an easier time and you don't encourage people to create single person FCs just for the discount.
