Japanese to English translation - Discussion Thread

Given the pricing and number of plots in each ward, (3 L, 5 M and 22 S?) SE was expecting to see a lot more S houses in comparison to M size at least.

This would be right if there is also private housing. But small lot is too small for a FC. Every FC will at least a M lot.

And with current restiction where it's one house per FC, FC's with over 20 active players most likely won't want to buy S size house due to it's size.


You can buy as much land but only build one house, they are planning to make it possible to sell the land to others later so maybe they thinking some FC will buy those S size lands and invest it for later when selling to other people? I don't get why they even have this restriction in there right now at 2.1 when you can't even sell the land to others yet...

..

There is one FC on my server that has a medium and a small house on adjacent plots.

I do wish that they would add another floor to the small as others have mentioned; it is TOO small. Why lower the price on it if no one wants it?? A lower price isn't going to shrink the number of people in a FC that want to share the space... or will it?

Reading your translations even the JP players seem to be calling bull on the S-size price decrease.. I don't blame them, we were debating in FC chat last night which is bigger - S-size house, or inn room, from an interior perspective.

Seems pretty simple to me. When there's less demand for something than you thought, you put it on sale.

They've sunk resources into the S houses. They want to see them in use. They need to entice people to buy those, and cutting the prices is the simplest thing they can try. If price cuts don't get them selling enough, they'll likely try other enticements, but price cuts are an easy first step.

They don't need to lower M and L prices, because they know there's enough demand for those to begin with. FCs are going to buy them, even if they haven't yet.

[Gilthas]

I didn't even know that FCs could buy more than one plot of land.

Not really sure what's the point when you can't build two houses.

One of these things is not like the other.

Probably an alt character making a similar FC name and purchasing 2nd house?
I am pretty sure it was stated that in patch 2.1 one FC can build only one house.

Thanks for the live translation today!

Hey Reinheart, I see a few different of JP/eng blogs are pissed (putting it nicely) about myth gear being thrown away from the top spot/being useful from 2.2 onwards. Not happy about the new tomes, & gear level increase & gear being made uselss every 6 months e.t.c. seems to be a 80/20 split on the matter via blogs.

have you seen any posts about it or along those lines in the official jp section?
I have got a Playstation review on FFXIV to do on current matters/opinions.
