What happened to 800k personal housing?

[Lazearus]

Yes, I've been dealing with their crap since the beginning of 1.0. I just love (note: dripping with sarcasm) how they always choose to implement things in a way that has glaringly obvious issues; and only struggle to find a solution after floundering in the shit hole.

Been waiting since 2.0 for personal housing, only to receive a slap in the face with these crazy prices all over again. Totally regretting renewing with a 180-day subscription last week, thinking to support SE. At least it'll last me till expansion. Gonna cancel my automatic renewal later.

SE got lazy and probably didn't bother to make something new for personal housing.

As a last resort, they simply made FC houses buyable by individuals.

I'm guessing they don't have a way to separate housing prices without creating new zones. Since new housing zones + wards cost time and money to make, they simply opened FC housing for individual purchase with hopes it buys them enough time to come up with proper housing zones+wards for private homes, or find another way to implement housing for individuals. I was thinking they'd use the concept behind private chambers in FC houses for this by implementing something like apartments or a sort of barracks.

Not too bothered by it, since I'm hoping for an Ishgard housing zone sometime in the future. Can hold out until then. >.>

I fail to see how it will be at all possible for an individual to complete against a FC for the plot they want. Sure that may be solved with adding multiple wards in 2.4 but also the promise of housing for individuals being significantly cheaper was extremely misleading.
I really didn't want to have to compete against my fellow players for a house (not that I could even afford one for months and months now...) I wish they had made personal housing more, you know, personal.

Now I see why details have been scarce. There really wasn't anything new to say about housing since it's just FC housing for solo players. Kind of hilarious.

In order to purchase land, a character must first have attained level 50 in at least one class and also have earned the rank of second lieutenant in one of the Grand Companies. Each character meeting these requirements can purchase a single unowned plot via the placards found within the residential districts.
Plots of any size and within any ward may be purchased.

Lol. I can't even ...

Saved up 1 mil thinking that would be decent enough for a small house. This is just unbelievable.

[Chihaya]

Now the mad rush to grab the houses, only 2 new wards for ALL the players on the server >_>

Being on Balmung, I can only afford a small, but seems like might be hard to get.

I saved up just a bit over 800k but seems like I'll be off by a large margin.

Blegh, guess I can buy glamours instead.
