I think Yoshida-san has struck a nice balance [etc]
The pricetag is what makes housing difficult for average players to obtain. For those who have been saving up and STILL were unable to obtain a house it was due to limited space. For example, I logged in as soon as the servers were online (around 7am my time) and within three minutes every single small house was taken. Essentially it came down to luck rather than difficulty, and it is very frustrating for those who spent months anticipating housing and earning gil towards the purchase.
