An Open Letter to Yoshida-san: Please Slice One Zero Off the Housing Prices

[Anapingofness]

I think people are panicking a bit here.
This isn't personal housing. This is FC housing. The point of FC housing is that everyone comes together to buy it, not just the one person.
Moreover, it isn't as if people are starting at 0 gil. People already have some gil saved up that they can use to contribute to FC housing.
Even small FC's will have a chance, sure it may take longer but that's the price you pay for being a smaller FC.

The difference being, you cannot expect everyone in your FC to donate ALL of their gil to the FC house.
If you are an officer, sure you may be prepared to do this, but for the most part - standard members generally are not willing to shed off 90% of their holdings to the FC.

Personal housing however - you can expect people to throw away all of their gil to afford one. So this is the difference here..
While FC's have more people - this does not mean those people are prepared to dump all of their gil into the FC.

Agreed...
Where there's no more than 8 men content, do you think I should force my members to dump everything into the FC?

If your FC members don't want an FC house, why are you even here complaining? Go away.

And which part in my post did i say my FC and I dont want a FC House.
Please go have an eye check up and go away for now.

When there is no actual content that supports more than 8 players except for housing, and that you need a lot of members to contribute that a single house to lower the burden of others
is that enough to justify for everyone to enter into a big FC just to contribute shitload of gil for a FC house?

[Anapingofness]

While FC's have more people - this does not mean those people are prepared to dump all of their gil into the FC.

Nor should it mean that FC members dump all of their gil into their FC housing, as you suggest. However, as members of an FC they should be prepared to contribute a part of their gil. If they cannot be bothered to contribute then they shouldn't complain about not having an FC house.

Big thing here is the people on nonlegacy servers saying pricing is fair when they don't have to deal with the prices we're seeing on Balmung, Excalibur and others. Some perspective please, people, come on.
If 4-8 million is what my RP FC is expected to amass, that'd be one thing, but the cheapest plot on Balmung (popular RP server since 1.0) is 20 million. You're asking every 2.0+ created FC on this server to amass more than five times the amount of gil you do on yours. You are not thinking fairly about this problem at all. Most of you aren't.

Hyperion, like Balmung and Excalibur, is a Legacy server. The housing prices are the same.

I'm afraid you can't see the forest for the trees. New (2.0+ created FC's) and small FC's will have a chance to get housing.
20mil is the starting price for the cheapest house on the Legacy servers. The price will go down every 6 hours if nobody buys.
Yes, 10mil is still a lot to gather but that is why people should work as a team to gather that money.
In light of that, relax. Things will be ok. It may take a bit longer but everyone will have a chance to get a house.

Its not like people haven't been saving the last three months or anything...

right, our FC managed to save a little over 6 million, but that's a one shot deal, we poured our entire individual fortunes in there and there's none left. These amounts are not sustainable anymore, it's not something we actually earned or can expect to earn in 3 months' time, our company's actual monthly earnings are closer to 500k . I myself give 2/3rd of everything I have to the Chest, but I can't expect all my members will do the same, some will only give 1/10th of their earnings or nothing at all. most of our members are hovering around a personal fortune of 300k, it's not like we're all magically 10 times richer or earn 10 times more because our server is called Masamune

we've been keeping a spreadsheet to track our savings and our company charter accounts for compensating the financial efforts going into housing, we're serious about this, but it's just out of reach for a FC of our size.

That's my point. It's not like everyone is starting at 0, people have some money saved up. It shouldn't take too long for people to get a house, even if they have to wait a bit.

English is not good at I
There is no reply to forums of Japan from Square Enix

Legacy server
Charge of the house 10 times
40 million gill sparsely populated areas　(Ssize　house
Do you earn in three months why money like this has passed?

Thanks for taking the time to post on the NA forums!
Are the JP players upset about the price of housing as well?

To answer your question- I don't think the new players saved up that amount.
Although, I know some Legacy players have even more gil than 40mil left over from 1.0.

While it is expensive, it should not be too much of a problem if everyone works together. ^^

You, my friend, are extremely optimistic. I'll feel much better myself if the market prices on my server recover from the current slump.

In any case, the prices will eventually be lower, one way or another.
