Personal Housing Questions

[RavinousKurohi]

I'll rerail it when the patch notes finally show up. So, what seems like, never.

Apparently it's a rule of nature that complaining about something immediately fixes the issue;

Speak of the devil...

PATCH NOTES ARE UP!!

So, unless I'm too tired to have actually made sense of this;

Looks like we're getting exactly the same as Free Company Housing. Good news for us mega-rich who can log on instantly (no new GC Rank either so...), bad news for the poor who cannot log on instantly. There are only two new Wards, SE dropped the ball on that. Heck, it seems like they cost the same as Free Company Houses... I'm really not sure what to make of this...

Yep i think that's what I'm getting from it as well, I knew this would happen. FREE FOR ALL when the servers are up ( Let me read it again SLOWLY)

EDIT: So whatever happened to "personal housing is going to be more affordable than fc housing"?

I know right? Why did they ever even mention 850k? Heck, since it's a carbon copy for FC Housing, Gardening should be perfectly fine. So... All of the information we did have on Personal Housing was complete and utter bollocks? I'd say I'm confused, but I'm not. Not at SE anyway, confused at my self for expecting anything less from them, sure.

Two Wards for Personal Housing and any Free Companies still lacking a House. Seriously... Those are going to last a few hours at best, nice job SE.

Also, how much Gil to they take when you move server? Because I am getting so damn sick of this pricing system. It made sense in 2.1, now it's just stupid, especially with Personal Housing in mind...

$18 and you can only transfer 1 million gil the rest will be lost (also 100 thousand for each retainer). It is pretty annoying, I agree XD

One big thing people seem to have missed is that they're adding a large number of wards in 2.4. This isn't the end if you can't afford what you want today. I'll admit it's going to be a long night for me since I absolutely want a specific house and have been planning this for months now.
Best of luck to everyone!

And if you want to pay that 850K pricing you only have to wait 60 days! lol (They said half life of price is at 30days, on my server at least that'd be about 2 months for a new person).

Hope they slow down the use of gardening in the game, that's going to kill new people who cannot afford to buy a house but are getting gouged by the rich to be richer lol. Glad my FC mates let me own the garden when I want XD <3

[Titor]

Well player housing shares the same wards and prices as FC housing.

Time to riot.

[Cidel]

Yep, not only did they decide to change the affordable personal housing idea, but they made it FC housing ward-based so there will be a mad dash of people logging on to save a plot they can afford:

[Eldonia]

My question is... If my girlfriend and I decide to share a plot, are we going to be able to set permissions so we can both place and move furniture etc?

[Shougun]

wow... this thread has been derailed.

Hope something amazing happens with airships . . . I know Yoshida was talking about fighting or teamwork involved with using them (his "maybes" so not assured in any means). While less useful I hope we get a cute overworld to traverse or something, I loved that part of FF games. Basically a chocobo porter system (to towns or other SE approved locations like aetherytes you can dock with/drop down), and to make sure a gil sink doesn't disappear have a maintenance cost*. With a lot of optical tricks you could make the map load without too much wait on ps3 (distance with low res textures, with decent looking cloud cover = won't be terrible to load or look at).

Going to be sad if they design airships as a very temporary content, FF has done so much with it and I'd consider them a very exciting moment - unlocking that airship in the games that had an overworld.

I typed above as the patch notes came out. Saw the district information - I laughed and cried. Oh well like I said earlier here, it is a good time to let SE know what people actually want ("that game did it better, why are you doing it like this?" lol).
