Housing

[Mikita]

According to Reinheart's translations it seems the sizes will NOT be different, but that you start small and upgrade your house from there.

Um... I haven't really read Reinheart's translation... but what I recall Yoshi P saying is there will be different sizes of land plots: small, medium, large, and I think he mentioned extra large as well.

You will of course be able to build bigger houses on bigger plots of land.

Of course the prices will be higher, so in the beginning you may want to start with a small piece of land and a small house.

Speculation now: I guess that perhaps implies we can somehow sell or trade up? Or perhaps buy up a ton of property, rent it out, and be property tycoons! ^^;

That was the mods translation of it, but Reinheart's translation is rather radically different. According to Reinheart's translation, he never said anything about big plots of land that cost a fortune. He said about building a small house and paying more and more to slowly make it bigger and bigger.

I know that Reinheart does the English FFXIV community a great service by translating a lot of what happens on the Japanese side.

But I believe he was translating and adding to the document in real time, and believe me, that is an immensely difficult thing to do while capturing every bit of information and nuance.

Whereas I was simply watching the video and have related what I took away from it after having the luxury of time to respond.

What I wrote above is how I understand what Yoshi P said in the video, and is not based on anyone's translation... again, I do speak Japanese as well.

I believe things are still subject to change so I wouldn't even take Yoshi P's words as set in stone... but that is what he said last night.
