'Go and play Archeage' isn't a viable option, especially when the MMO itself is completely different to the style of FFXIV. As others have also outlined player housing isn't some weird desire exclusive to role-players. There's a very high demand for it outside of the role-playing community and that is precisely why many modern MMO's launch with it as a feature right away or one intended to be added at some point in the game's future.

This personal housing thing JUST came out. But yeah what that statement said above, I agree with him a lot. |

While I agree with you, but the patch -just- came out. It was small and it was gone within 2 hours. But why can't we just be patient for everything? Do you need the housing really that bad right away? This is like iPhone 6 thing too. Do you REALLY need it right away for first day of launch? Everything will eventually come up as time passes by, the housing prices will go down and there will be plenty of plots available in the future. It requires patience and time, this is just like 1st phase of personalxFC housing wards. It was estimated to be limited. Edit: At LEAST he isn't making excuses like saying "We didn't see this coming" like many games out there. (One of them was Archeage NA where they have server issues now) and SimShitty 2013, and D3 etc. His excuse is legit and true enough that it's unavoidable to counter his argument. Too much personal housing can give FC houses gain cobwebs and dusts in the future. |

and i thought i needed help.
Really though, I just don't like that they locked certain cool game features behind it, and I think spreading these features out to non-housing would probably make housing much more of the status symbol they seek without making it feel necessary. |

How do people even play more than one game...?
Anywho, I've accepted the housing situation for what it is. I will work toward getting one in time, whenever that may be. In the meantime I think I'll enjoy everything else the game has to offer. |

We'll have to agree to disagree here, as I still don't think Yoshida has lied, and neither do I think that the current house system is bad.
As a side note, Archeage has limited land as well. Also, people can plant their freaking gardens just at the entrance of your house (call it first hand experience). So I'll take FFXIV's house system any day. I'm in love with the neighbourhoods and I love how we get our own space. They just need to add many more wards and I'll be fully happy.

A lot of you are harping on cost. I don't really care what the cost is. Yes I get it's supposed to be a big ticket item in the game and accept that (I have my own personal house, Ward 7, Plot 29 in the Goblet if you don't believe me. Cost was never an issue) Cost is fine. It's the promises they made and didn't deliver on that irk me and everyone else.
I certainly don't like the fact they didn't tell us before hand what was going on when they had plenty of time to do so and keep us updated. WHY did they stay strangely hush hush about it? This could have been solved months ago. And it's only been a week, so it's cool that your telling the player base to get over it already. :/. |

Chocobo raising is hardly a fast way to level them, colors are strictly vanity, and while there's some gil to be made by gardening...To be fair, having a house is in and of itself, vanity and you still need to work/pay for chocobo raising anyway. Making a grind behind the grind doesn't seem super productive in my opinion. I don't even know if there's money in gardening because I've never done it and I'll likely never get to do it anyway. Problem is mostly lack of plots rather than the prohibitive cost, especially since most people will now know that they need that kind of money on hand to participate, which is something that we didn't before. That, according to them, will get remedied in time. |
