    Just look at every other MMORPG with housing. New World - Option to buy a house at first levels if you will just save money for it. People grind because they want to make it look better with crafting. And for them it's fun.
    Elder scrolls online - Housing in first few levels completely for free with tons of types of furniture for real money like cash grab works well for them.
    Because people have an open way to it.
    Fallout 76 or whatever was that name. U can build their house in the few first hours of gameplay....

    But FFXIV with the largest RP and social potential just lock it behind the RNG system with tons of in-game currency and grind.

    And I can bet with you if they will make it open for everyone somehow and find a solution to this problem, advertise this game it's friendly to casuals who want to have pink carpets in their own house and play like they want with housing ....100% there will be thousands of players who will start playing it. Not even because there was not new Sims game after years and people like discover.

    For XIV it's called apartments. It's available for everyone from the get-go after the housing quest.

    Also: The ESO freebie is a tavern room which is not that great, while in New World you have to pay property taxes for your house(s) to keep it functional or else it locks you out of them.

    Yes but in ESO the way to acquire bigger houses (including the biggest houses ingame) is pretty much the same as tavern houses. You go there and pay for them. (also they give bigger houses for free with events)
