Stop cheating new players

When did you leave your old MMO? Because I'd've thought that between 2017 and now you'd have been able to obtain a house :0

I agree.

Conversely, if the ONLY reason they joined the game was because of the possibility of owning a house, why are they still here, when they obviously haven't gotten one yet?

I don't own a house, but I have a room in the FC house, which I've decorated to my liking over the last, um, seven or eight years? Several of my alts own apartments, which is pretty much the same thing.

One can 'decorate' and do all sorts of things in either the FC room or apartments. The only thing that can't be done is the exterior, but many people have already indicated they don't need the 'neighborhood', just the house itself.

I've a back tattoo and I haven't been able to procure one with either of the horrible housing systems they have implemented.

Maybe one day when SE has access to it's own cloud stack like Microsoft's Azura stack; then housing for everyone might be possible.

Housing is very much not the end all be all feature y'all think it is ^^

It also enslaved you into a permanent sub!

But yes, housing is amazing and I'm sure one day, we'll see a proper solution!

I recommend waiting for new server and trying your luck there if you really really really want one ^^

I started playing FF14 in August 2021. I already have a house.
I registered for the lottery for the new houses in Ishgard the first time around for a small plot.
There were only 3 other people vying for the same spot, and I lucked out it seems.

Back then during the first round, there were significantly more plots available for players so the chances of winning were higher.
I guess people really want the medium / large plots to be available for use as well -- it would be good if SE can make more M/L houses available.
Not sure what their reasoning for "FC only" plots though -- why do they want to limit the use as such? It's sad to see all these open plots in the FC-only areas.

buy an appartment.. seriously.. the only thing they lack is a garden.. and frankly i doubt any of you will actually spend any time actually using said garden even if you got one.
oh you cant make an appartment look great? lies.. theres plenty of amazing looking appartments.. frankly their furnishing limit compared to their size is the best (mansions which are about 12 times the size of appartments, only get 4 times the item limit).

all i see is a bunch of beggars being choosers.. i cant have a luxury place.. so ill pretend the affordable stuff doesnt exist

Accept what you get, peasant. Don't try and make the system more fair and equitable for everyone. Apartments are a nice start for someone trying to get into housing, but are objectively inferior to owning even a small house.

[Valsharia]

correct, they are inferior, i never said theyh werent.. but claiming housing isnt there when theres plenty available is hogwash

they are vastly inferior. a small sized house is over twice the internal size, and has an exterior to decorate.

your point is invalid simply from the standpoint that owning a house does not mean you cant own an apartment. you can have both.
