Mmyeah, it's certainly killed a lot of my enthusiasm. 20 million gil; maybe in a couple months we could muster that if the market doesn't continue to crash? Although I expect everyone will be trying to sell and extremely reluctant to buy as they grip their gil like misers to save for their own house, so, who knows. But 20 million is still the smallest plot in the least desirable area and I thought I'd read it's not much bigger than the mog house in FFXI. If that's true, well, it'll be fun trying to cram 50+ people into it at once. Or as is more likely, we won't bother with housing at all.
I know some people don't care about housing, and that's fine, but as an RPer it was something myself and my FC were really excited about. Not so much now.

They should've staggered it out for QoL services once you got your land - instead of making it a flat 200mil for the lot, they should've made it 50 mil for the lot, 50 mil for airship garage, 50 mil for retainer / market board / GC / teleport / NPC stores accessibility, and so on.
That makes a lot more sense. You get the house and spend your hard earned gil upgrading and decorating it.
