Housing..

Call me elitist, but it's not really special that all the Small plots got bought up. Mediums and Larges > motel rooms.

Except that 2.2 is doubling main floor space and adding a basement...

So yeah, get the best spots now and wait it out, otherwise you'll get stuck in Ward 2 or worse...

Most people thought the same thing until SE decided to cut prices in half and add another floor. Plus they confirmed smalls get all benefits of housing, including airship/boat crafting sub-basement.

Our FC can easily afford a Small House. Yet, we are still saving for a Medium one. It would be beneficial to actually see how the expanded Small FC House will look before purchasing one. I would hate to pull the trigger on the purchase of a Small FC House and regret it latter since there is NO option to upgrade (and recover your Gil) to bigger FC House.

They don't say anything about discounts or selling the old house, but SE is working on a feature to move all your furnishings & etc. to a new house. (Linky)

But different servers don't have different prices anymore!

I confirmed this for Balmung this morning, and SE's schedule set Feb 13 as the date for all legacy worlds to be at equal prices to "Tier 3" new worlds. Tier 1 & 2 are mostly newer or less populated worlds, so that's my guess as to why they have lower prices still.
