The GMs are pretty vigilant from what I've seen in the game thus far. Moving mass amounts of gil doesn't always work since people exchange gil all the time. I had an FC mate give me a few million towards one of my old FC houses to make the purchase and it took a few transactions to get all of it. Would have sucked if he missed out on getting a house because a GM stopped us to investigate the matter.

I've loaned people up to 20mil with absolutely nothing happening to me months later, but they also paid me back. It's pretty obvious it was a loan and those loans were also discussed in game. That's 20 trades of 1mil. But for housing sales I am talking upward from that, 80mil, 175mil, prices that housing plots no longer go for even from the game. Completely unreasonable prices.

You mean you gave 20 mil in small loans of a million dollars.

You know what that means, right?


Time for another free weekly log in event so everyone can keep their houses and go another few months, just in time to hit another free log in weekend.

So watch those wards carefully and good luck!

Quote:just to confirm: the apartments are per ward (including subdivisions) and not one per country. This is confirmed by Yoshida during the recent Letter from the Producer at around 2:09:20 in the Twitch stream, and is also mentioned on the 4gamer summary of the stream which states:

このアパルトメントは，3国の冒険者居住区の各区画に1棟ずつ建ち，部屋の代金は50万ギルになるという。

The Japanese ff14wiki also clarifies:

ハウジングエリアの区画1つにつき、一棟。拡張エリアにも立つ。1棟あたり512戸。 12区＋拡張エリア＝24区。24区×三国＝72区。72×512戸＝1ワールドあたり36,864戸ということになる。

Yoshida also mentioned on the live stream that, if it wasn't enough, they could still add more (but I tend to think this will be enough for all but the absolute busiest of servers, at least for now).
