Yoshida telling players to go play other games is very damaging to FFXIV

[Misplaced_Marbles]

Think what you want, but he doesn't want his player base burned out. He doesn't want them ignoring real life.

He might encourage you to take a break, but as we all know, housing encourages you to keep paying regardless of if you're playing or not. He might not want you to get burned out but he does want your money, so let's not pretend there's anything altruistic in this. It just make you seem like a fool.

Housing demolition is suspended currently, so take your break.


Also, no need to play every day anyway. I imagine most people take small breaks.

Do you have any streaming subscriptions? A gym membership? Do you use those every day?


XIV is literally cents per day.

You could just let the house go if it's that much stress. It's not like it's required for anything. If you know it's such a problem and cling to it anyway, then that's on you.

The housing excuse vs casual gameplay is not really valid;

Originally housing was not meant to be for individual players but for FCs, so if a specific player wasn't on, as long as someone else was the house is fine. The only reason we have personal housing is because the devs caved to player wishes.

So, yes, while that is on the devs, the player base has to accept responsibility for this. We wanted this, so we have to accept the consequences, even if the devs are ultimately at fault for what I'd say was a bad call.

What are you even talking about? Or did you not read the whole thing?

I guess I’ll give the to;dr version?

…housing encourages you to keep paying regardless of if you're playing or not.

>This situation only exists because the devs caved to player wishes
>Housing is not required for casual play (or any level of play)

At what point did I say housing was free? Or was that your misunderstanding?

This community, I swear.

Hey everyone, it's YOUR fault that S-E has such a limited housing system even though games with far less budget and popularity manage to have housing for everyone *and* with more options.
It's also YOUR fault that, should you not play the game within 45 days of having your house demolished, S-E just trashes every item you worked for.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I put the blame mostly on the devs, if you read what I said...
