Time to Restart Housing Demolition

"Yay! Players died from covid! More pixel houses for me!"

I have no words.

I'd say you have plenty of them. So many in fact that you have to use them for projection!

A compromise might be better.

Why not re-enable housing demolitions for NA/JP/Koala-land, and place a hold on housing demolitions in Europe? If housing demolitions are paused due to regional events, then only the region it is directly impacted should have the pause.

Except a player can roll their characters on any datacenter they want, iirc. Again, target Square's small indie cash grabbing (please understand), not the players who did not ask to be put in this situation.

I actually hope they never turn it on again. After all, they only began the demolition thing as a bandaid when they realized the demand for housing was far outstripping the supply.

I'm more hopeful they fix the supply issue by introducing other kinds of housing options, namely instanced. Then there's no more need to demolish a player's house. Everyone has access to it.

“Due to the house fire off Elm Street, we have decided to delay auto demolition”

It’s a running meme at this point that they will stab the housing economy for everything

People who defend it because "war" are so funny. What if this war drags out for 2 years? Gonna wait for 2 years with no auto demolition? That's almost comedic

I accept with the events in Eastern Europe, that Square made the right call at the time, however expert analyses sees this conflict potentially lasting years, its a horrible thing.


However we need to be realistic, keeping demolition on hold for years simply isn't feasible, demolition needs to come back, this isn't a nice thing to do, but we are looking at years of conflict.

I say this as someone who has a house, whos FC has a house, its good what Square did, but this will be a potential years long conflict, the game ultimately either needs to rethink housing radically to match the supply being cut off or bring back demolition. Ideally I think Square should look at rethinking housing.

I also dont think its fair to call people 'Karens' on this, If you seriously think someone running from a warzone, trying to keep their family and loved ones safe is wondering ' oh what about my virtual house on FFXIV' then I dont know what to tell you.

it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what conflict is, creature comforts is the clothes on your back, the feeling of loved ones being safe, I think many people in this thread those for and against demolition need to remember that.

Because this conversation isn't going anywhere, Im going to try and create someway of compromise

for the people against demolition - how long do you think demolition should be suspended, keep in mind we are looking at a multi year war, remember this, there are no short term solutions, if the war lasts for 5 years are you in favour of demolition happening before that.

if you are in favour of demolition being suspended for the entire duration of this war what are your solutions for the ingame housing issue.

this me being genuine, solutions
