Apartment Preview

[Pomelo]

I can see I'm the minority here, but I really like decorating and customizing and basically emulating the Sims.

I have a house, and yes I'm going to sprint and get an apartment on day one as well. I'd even love one of each but I know that's not possible.

Yes, some players have alts (I don't) and exploit these features by selling the houses for ridiculous prices, but in other cases like myself, its not that I'm being unfair...the system is.

I have one alt on the same server as my main and I was thinking of getting my alt an apartment but looking at the amount of apartments there are I'm going to forget about the idea

I had the hope that this review would show us the inside of the rooms..and not the buildings that we already know.

Some days before when someone wrote that there will be one in each ward and subdivision I was really hopeful and happy that we will get over 30k apartments which should be quite enough...and yet it seems that in the end my skeptic side won again..Why SE? Why do you allow people with a house to buy a apartment if you now only have 90 instead of 512 rooms per building? I wanted to have one too after I thought it will be over 30k but now I wont get it because I fear that homeless people will get nothing thanks to some people that already own multiple houses..Why not just instance those and give everyone a chance to own a apartment? This could have been your chance to finally provide everyone a room and yet you choose something limited again..And you also did not learn anything from the past and made no restriction for us house owners..

And why is this without a timer if its also something limited? Someone could buy multiple apartments through alts and never play again and wont loose them? But someone that owns a house but had to pay way more will loose it after those 45 days? How is that fair?

Its way easier and cheaper to get an apartment..so a lot more people will try to get one..and probably some of them will stop playing the game..those apartments are now lost forever if they dont delete their character..but its fair that a person that has put in maybe 50 million gil in a big house will loose it after 45 days? Yes its bigger and has a garden but it also costs way more than an apartment.

SE either use your demolition system on everything or dont use it at all..this is imo not fair..(I dislike the demolition..it would be way better if everybody could have the chance for a nice house...they just need to be instanced..)

Well as someone that owns a small house that is way to small for all those items I can now only wait for the moving feature...that I am not even sure will come..

I wasn't sure which apartment to go for, since I own/have full access to houses in each area, but "The Sultana's Breath"? I'm sold.

I'm going to echo the disappointment that this wasn't a preview of the inside of the apartments. Also, I really wish they had gone with the 512 rather than the 90. It's going to mean that I have no choice but to be frantically clicking when the servers come up.

The upside I'm taking away from this (I see it as an upside), is that SE is actually giving us the disappointing news with some advance warning rather than on the night of the patch. As much as I may not like the news, it was one of my big criticisms of the housing debacle and at least I know in advance so I can plan my day.

For perspective.

When housing was shown for the 2.1 update they did not comment on the amount of instances they would have for each location so we can't assume that there will only be 270 apartments at this point in time.

Housing has always been way easier for low pop servers. This is just another example. And of course people are going to take advantage of that >->;

BUT HEY!

4.2 will be introducing cardboard box housing though. Said to have enough space for everyone.

Will pay million of gils for this!

It's not MGS-branded cardboard box, but the cats are cute enough so I'll take it. :3
