Housing: what did he mean ?

[Felis]

From Reinhearts translation

W: this is every time... I won’t ask anymore... so I just brought it...
F: What is this?
Y: This is housing, I believe for Limsa.
W: I brought some more here.
Y: That is the medium size, open field (plain) housing.
W: How about this?
Y: That’s Gridanian medium size housing.
W: This looks nice.
Y: This has a balcony.
W: [pointing] this is the person.
Y: First is shared
Y: To buy something of this size everyone in the group would need to chip in to purchase probably.
Y: We have lots of options to share public or private.
W: I got this also, what’s this?
Y: This is a windmill for the plain field housing.
W: And this?
Y: This is a mock up + art of the 荒野 kouya - mountain area?? [need to look up.] (wilderness from Gtranslate)
W: Can you own small and larger for person?
Y: First we want players to get headquarter for the free company first.
Y: Say members created a free company named Square-Enix say I can’t get in for some time and say I build something which gives other members 1.5x exp bonus for battle and crafting. By accumulating free company points you can place park & tower. [??] By getting those you can help to support others. And we are making it where if you support other new players good things will happen. We are working on it.
W: So I showed something very important then.
Y: Yes you did.


<Q12: I found some artwork related to the housing system. Can you tell us more about it?

A12: Here's the artwork for a large size house. As you can see, large houses will come with balconies. If you plan to purchase a house of this caliber, it will require a very large amount of gil.

You will be able to set entry restrictions for your house. With this function, you will be able to specify which players will have access to your house. With the larger houses, we plan to release it as a headquarters for the free companies initially, and then release it as a personal house later on. Additionally, you will be able to place parks and towers within your houses and these objects will provide special bonuses such as experience bonus, HQ rate bonus for crafting, etc.

Furthermore, we have plans to turn a portion of a room to an instance that the players will be able to live in.>


F: Later on will there be contents which can enjoyed alone?
Y: Yes once the community is set we can have stuff like where rooms can be owned by individuals or they can own their own homes later on.

F: We received comments already regarding the housing but it looks huge.
Y: Well, being huge means you can put more stuff like say you defeat bahamut you can put like a skull on the wall and stuff, like have it where you can place those kind of stuff in there. Where players doing battle can place their trophies and achievements in there.

F: Since Wada-san is interested in housing there is a question on how much will the housing cost?
Y: Since the gil will be adjusted in ARR it’s hard to say how much but I think it’s about lv50 player spending all their gil at lv50 will buy you a small size house.
W: So it costs a lot then.
Y: yeah.


<Q13: How much will housing, including the interior and furniture, cost?


A13: We will be lowering the value of gil in ARR, so this is quite difficult to say, but a couple of level 50 players that save up their gil can get an S-sized house.>

I spent the last month fishing ears (please forgive me Llymlaen) so that I'd have a tidy little pile o' gil going into 2.0, just so I could buy a nice piece of land and a house on the beach. Here's hoping they're not that pricey.

[RoosterAgathos]

PS... I pity whoever is your roomie Rooster... pity pity pity.

Oh lexies... Dont worry there is a healthy debate going on and im sure you will be able to marry me and make the man crush you have on me official.


I am just really concerned as to what its going to cost the average player to get a house. Especially after gil reduction.

[Wyyote]

Sounds as though housing will be quite interactive. Like others have mentioned on the thread there will be "instances" to include other players, as well as the option of Free Company housing. It looks as though we'll have a few options, whether or not you want your place available to others is a choice the player will seem to have.

In terms of Gil, I'm hoping these are significantly priced. Would feel like much more of an achievement if it took a few months to work towards it.

[Kaldaka]

If I can't afford a house. Who ever furniture I'm making when I get back is sure goina be buying me one...

[Colino]

I wish they were more open about this and gave us an estimate price range, even if it ends up being changed.

We're not even playing right now so it's not like everyone is gonna flock to making gil or anything.

[Valmonte]

they should let us build our own dame house, Ive got enough ore to sink a ship and enough lumber to build a forest.

[Darkillumina]

This is one of the aspects of 2.0 I am most excited for. I absolutely love the idea of sharing a large headquarters with my friends. No more gathering in random corners of the city. People can just meet up at their designated HQ.

[Majidah]

Idk wtf does this mean. My friends have 70 mil, I have 5; how much does the small house cost!?

[Enyce]

My plan is to:
1. Farm like mad for gil.
2. Purchase a Large plot and build a Complex.
3. Rent out Apartments to ARR Tenants at a pretty decent rate.
4. Collect revenue and save for another plot.
5. Continue the cycle till i'm a wealthy little Male Miqo'te.
6. Eventually own 75%-85% of the market.

Yep... I plan on being the Monopoly man in ARR.
