It's like I'm really playing an old school MMO.
Edit: Actually, I have more to say about this.
From the get go FFXIV has had the mentality of a Old School MMO with Modern upgrades. This has extended into the gear grind, Coil raiding (Especially Turn 4 and 5), the extensive crafting, the plans for PvP and now it's been extended into housing. I don't find the price point shocking given the nature of the MMO being crafted.
So, housing is going to be expensive and is unlikely to drop below a 10mil price point. That just means that the FCs that do manage the feat (Especially the large mansions) have accomplished something big together. Is it any different than Coil raiding? It's an advertised part of the game that anyone that puts the time into it can accomplish with a talented group of individuals. Housing is the same way except not in a Raiding context.
I'm sure PvP has the same mentality, a long term investment that pays out in accomplishment. In the end it's about fostering a community of like minded players and forging something together. Much like the RP-C is for us.Â
I suppose the best way to think of it is that there are four types of End Game in FFXIV:
