#FFXIVINSTANCEDHOUSING

[Willemdarke]

What I enjoy most in games such as The Sims is landscaping/garden design and exterior design, so apartments simply do not interest me, even if they were upgradable or had balconies.

I did buy one ages ago, but just not that fun, so it's just being used as a furniture storage chest, lol.

I would love to own a house, but honestly I've never bid on one.

Millions of Gil aside, the bid system is extremely limited and clunky and - this is the big no no for me - automatic demolition if you unsubscribe for any length of time. I understand it's there due to the limited supply, but said supply is kept artificially low on purpose, and it honestly feels like blackmail to keep subscribed indefinitely.

I'd love instanced housing, it's the only way I'd ever get myself to engage with this system, BUT it's simply not going to happen. Like I said it seems they are keeping the # of available plots low on purpose to keep the demolition blackmail in play and honestly it feels pretty scummy. (Cue Yoshi-P telling us it's okay to go play other games.)

(Cue Yoshi-P telling us it's okay to go play other games.)

This might be a hot take, but people pretending like Yoshi-P is our friend or has our bests interests in mind are a little deluded.

At the end of the day, he is the higher up at a large corporation, and his main goal is to derive profit for shareholders. Sure, he made a game that appeals to a lot of people, and maybe he was pretty relatable in the beginning, but the end-state for all people like that is maximization.

Him telling us to play other games is just an attempt to foster good will, which is good for profits... but he doesn't actually want us all to flock to other games between patches, because then nobody is paying to keep the lights on.
