Yoshi Interview at PGS

So a new interview has surfaced from Yoshi at Paris Games Week:

Specficially two parts are to my interest:

アパルトメントが狭いので家のようにSMLを作ってほしい
Apartment currently feels cramp, so we'd like to have options to have a S M or L sized apartments
パッチ4.2に向かって土地を増やして皆さんに公平に渡るように全力で開発を行っている なので今のところ大型のアパルトメントの開発予定はないがタスクが終わった後で前向きに検討したい
Yoshida: We're currently working in adding more wards and a system where everyone can obtain a new house fair and square for Patch 4.2. Therefore for now we don't have plans to develop a large scale apartments right now but once we get the current task done, we'd like to move foward and see what we can do with it.

And this:

【キャラオプションの追加について】 - Character Customization
・今のところキャラオプションを増やす予定はない
There is no plans to add onto character customization as of this moment.
・これ以上フェイスオプションを増やしてしまうとリアルすぎてFFらしくなくなる
・これ以上カスタマイズオプションを増やすとキャラがコンテンツに移動した際に通信量が凄く増えてしまって皆さんが快適に遊べなくなってしまう可能性がある。
If we increase more face options in the current customization it would become too real and lose the Final fantasy appeal. If we added more character customization options, the required amount of data to be transferred when characters enter instances would explode and gameplay may consequently be negatively affected.

There are a few interesting things like glamour prism changes coming in 4.2, etc.

As far as my verdict, I'm very interested in the new housing system and acquisition, but I am disappointed that in this day and age, more character customization is a pipe dream, than a reality because SE is still using servers from the 1990s. Either that, or their system is extremely flawed in constantly doing server checks.
