If that was the plan then it's a big fail.

So far between 0 and 3(?) houses have been sold per legacy world. FCs who bought them are buying mostly small and medium, and they are getting most of their gil from the market wards (i.e. by selling to other players for their gil). So yeah, some of that is money from v1, but most of it comes from what was paid out by ARR.

All the posts I've seen say legacy players started with 300k-500k gil, and that ARR provides only about 100k while doing the main story & leveling your first class. People went in expecting houses to cost a few hundred thousand each (per FC member) and instead found it will cost around 4 million per FC member on legacy worlds. So even if an FC is all legacy, most still can't afford housing.

And on top of that, Yoshi-P announces prices will be slashed by up to 90% in a couple of months. It's like, would you like to pay 50,000 for a car now, cash up front only, knowing that in six weeks the prices drop to 10,000? Even the rich would wait in a situation like that.
