Regarding that Finaland Interview...

[SenorPatty]

Apartments don't demo if you unsub, so if you wanted to take a break like the guy is asking then you're fine.

Houses do.



I'm not but it's been how many years has it been? They obviously can not just implement more housing so if it's that important to you, go to where housing is available.

Okay but I'm not vouching for that sort of suggestion. Nor did I mention it so I don't know why you're bringing this up to the discussion of people who already have a house, want to take a break from their sub but don't want relocate their belongings to an apartment.

You know, like Yoshida did.



I don't know how many times I have to explain this, I'm not advocating for anything me listing those things are actual features of other games. Those are things where housing is legitimately needed and if everyone couldn't get it, it would be a problem and if a dev said what Yoshi said then, in that situation then yep he's definitely out of touch.

You've repeated many times to others that other things in the game matter because they're needed but housing isn't. Again, what matters in the game, at some point, has a different value for everyone else. If you wan't argue fact for fact what is needed, we'd be stripping the game pretty barebone. You've repeated many times that it's on people if they have attachment to housing as if they were at fault. You're advocating that housing shouldn't matter because it's not needed.



He didn't create housing for everyone to have one, he intentionally created housing for FCs and then said he was going to add separate personal housing.

And why did he create seperate personal housing? Because it was requested. Why was it requested? Because people wanted it. What's an mmo company's main aim? To aim to please and go after their desires. I don't even know why I had to explain that.

At this point, I'm not even sure what you're trying argue here as you're pulling other argument points from just to supplement your viewpoint that housing's not needed. A lot of things in the game is not needed. Heck as you even pointed out, the game should've just run on msq and gear progression because that's what's needed to go further. But SE did not stop at just that because realistically, that would've failed. They added a boat load of stuff because like any smart gaming company that creates mmos, the more features you have in the game, even the optional ones, the more you can reel in and possibly keep. The responsibility to make sure those optional features are up to standards go to the ones who make it.

If you feel Yoshida isn't out of touch because, as you like mentioning, it's on people for valuing optional content in the game and him making apathetic statements that further riles up people who value that content, then you and I have nothing further to discuss. If you want to explore and/or discuss realistic suggestions that could be made to housing in the game, other than trying to redirect players into leaving their houses to go to an apartment, I'm right here.

Perhaps I didn't get my point across correctly. But your entire post is basically what I've been trying to argue.
