Do they just give you houses for nothing in the country you live too?

... or do you have to work for years of your life to pay off the mountains of debt you incur when you buy them?

Come on, people. Be thankful you actually have a fng goal in this game. All the goals so far have been limited by artificial means - and while a steep price may seem "artificial" at least it's attainable at your own pace. I could have full Myth and/or Allagan on all my jobs by now, but I don't because of some (understandable, yet arbitrary) rule imposed on me by the Twelve (as far as I know, there's no Lore reason I can't pick up more than 300 Myth Tomes per seven days). Gil is something you can make, or borrow from friends - it's something you can continually work toward. Hell you can buy the smallest plot and the crappiest house, sell it, and upgrade when you make more.


The system probably isn't perfect, but stop friggin crying because the game actually has given you something to work for.
If you want a house, whine less and make gil more.

And good news, everyone! The longer it takes you to make the gil, the cheaper the houses get!
