Latest comment from Yoshida regarding Housing + Inventory space issue

[xXRaineXx]

UPDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDATE

*I just got back*

Alright, I had another talk to Yoshida today at TGS. Unfortunately he was a lot more busier than yesterday so we weren't able to talk much, if at all.

In regards to non-housing gardens and stables. No comment. Sorry, but I don't have a clear answer on this one. Didn't have enough time to talk about personal inns.

Though I did suggest rental stables and gardens using gil to rent a stable/garden for a certain period of time.

Take what you want from this;;

P.S I had a blast of a time, met up with Soken, Super Dry and Afro-bro. I'll post a SS of my super rare FATE drop later.

P.S.S Sorry if you guys were waiting for a better answer. I wanted to get it for you guys... after I met him, I actually camped the SE booth to catch Yoshi off guard. But it was a wasted effort unfortunately.

I appreciate the effort, thanks...

In regards to housing, the main trouble is that it was advertised from the start to be a feature of the game (even written on the physical packaged games that were sold at release) so it feels like a kick in the teeth that players have to compete for such little amounts of space and against free companies who can earn gil quite faster than they can.

RMT is a constant hassle, nothing can be done to stop it completely because as long as one person has used the service then they've already got reason to continue. Though I would like to know if there's anything more planned to help us players combat it.

Something else I would like to know, is if the Gold Saucer is going to be a casino in line with FF7's version (where minigames are held to earn gil) or is it only going to be a time-killer with a few items?

Hardcores only play 24/7 on new progression raids and once they clear it, they will only log on for raiding only

The money is an issue but even if people have enough money left over after buying materia for their Novus and 3 star crafter gear, there just aren't enough houses. It's easy to say stop being lazy and make money, but what is the excuse going to be when everyone is rocking 80 mil and being forced to sit on it because there isn't enough housing?

I like the idea of private rooms in the FC house. Our FC is a small to medium size and we all are social with each other so the fact that we have a place to call are own and a place we can call ours in the same spot is perfect for us. I feel like most people forget that MMO's are supposed to be social games. As some one who has mastered all crafters I would love to see more inventory room but I am not going to come on here and be rude about it. If you don't feel they use our money wisely or don't do what you want just go play another game...

Or you can tell them about what issues you find. I'm 100% sure if they had the option of knowing their problems vs people just up and leaving, they'd pick the first option.

I'm not saying people are allowed to be rude because of that (that's what moderators are for I thought XD), but I don't think in a feedback* forum, for a company that wants our money, that this is a good suggestion.


*I'm well aware this is GD, but GD does not exclude feedback it just has less barrier to entry for topic (its the lazy and popular area to discuss lol).

Thank you Raine for asking this question to Yoshi personally! o/

My opinion on the matter is that he is not understanding what we expect of personal housing. And while that's unfortunate, I respect his decision and will work hard to afford my estate.

However it annoys me that the attitude towards housing is one of achievement, while okay a part of it could be, like trophies or furnishings that is hard to find/make, the housing itself should not be part of that. Not everything in the game absolutely has to be about overcoming challenges, sometimes it's nice to have a side thing to come back to from achieving things and mess around with.

Again in the end that's fine in itself, what's done is done. It just makes me nervous about other 'casual' content added later on that turns out to not be casual at all. It's weird, things that should be very hard are made easier, and things that should be easy are mode harder in this game. lolol...
