The Actual truth about the housing system.. please read..

[Meier]

The truth behind the FC housing system, is for legacy characters to get together and spend their gil to buy a house.

Yoshida purposely ruined the economy on all server, so that their is no possible way for one to make money to the point of over 500K or 1MIL.

He crashed the housing marker so that legacy players would see a decline in housing price, and that the market is deflated to the point where everything is affordable, so that way legacy players will get into the mentality of, well I have all this money, and the FC house price is a lot less from where it was when it was introduced, their is only a few large housing to buy so let me grab one so I can be the first. And in the mean time they will still hold onto some of their gil to play the game comfortable and still above norm players.

So once all the legacy gil has been eradicated on over priced FC house, yoshida will have a clean market economy state to work with, and then will introduce new items and recipes for everyone to make money on, and then everyone on all markets will have an equal opportunity.

So in-turn Yoshida planned this and people are falling for it. People may think he is stupid and so forth but he has stated that he wants to level out the game economy on all worlds, and then open server app transfer between legacy and new worlds, and other numerous claims revolving around the game economy.
