It's still my opinion that they tried to come up with a workable solution and just fell short on the R&D components. Think about it, they said they'd work on personal housing nine months ago? Back in the end of 2013 when their greatest concerns were making sure people could log in and server stability was, well, stable? I think Yoshi got caught by the common MMO-crowd issue: He mentioned a feature would exist. Can we make furniture? What are the houses like? How much will they cost? Can I have a chocobo in my house? Can I invite people? What about wallpaper? Will there be a feng shui mechanic?
Seriously, go back and read the live letter here and look at the bulk of the questions. This is prior to 2.1, back when Warrior was useless, DRG's Jump was still a DPS loss and a liability, and people were unable to log in because of queues and crashes.
Somewhere between 40 and 70 minutes into the letter, they begin to talk about housing. They keep talking about housing until the end of the letter, which is nearly 150 minutes long.
They implemented FC rooms on time, and then people bitched anyway. Hard to say they lied when they delivered exactly what they said they would, it just wasn't enough to placate people.

Quote:Q: When will individual housing be implemented?
A: It will be around half a year after patch 2.1's release. Currently, we are split between implementing a personal room within a free company house or personal housing. Since the decision will have a huge impact on how many additional servers we'll need to prepare, we have to carefully consider the balance of the housing system. We believe it will take roughly six months to have everything planned out and prepared.
