Here's some new information if people didn't see Yoshi's reply to the Lodestone Forum Housing thread.
"Legacy World Price Adjustments
Due to the prodigious amount of gil in circulation in legacy Worlds, we regret that current housing prices may be prohibitive to the following players:
Those new to the game who started on legacy Worlds
Those returning to a legacy World after taking an extended break
Those on a legacy World who have been unable to save gil
Upon considering the feedback we have received since the release of the patch notes, we have decided to make the following adjustments:
Land prices will start at the figures indicated in the patch notes
From January 2014, devaluation will be adjusted every two weeks
After three months, final land prices will match those of World Group 3
* World Group 3 (third listed in the patch notes)
Bahamut / Behemoth / Cactuar / Carbuncle / Chocobo / Diabolos / Fenrir / Garuda / Gilgamesh / Ifrit / Leviathan / Mandragora / Midgardsormr / Odin / Ramuh / Shiva / Siren / Tiamat / Titan / Tonberry / Ultros
Although this takes place over the course of three months, land prices in legacy Worlds will eventually fall to match those of World Group 3. In the event that pricing changes are made to this group, the same will be applied to legacy Worlds.
By adjusting devaluation at set intervals rather than in one go, we hope to prevent a sudden rash of purchases.
The introduction of housing will help to unify the perceived value of gil in each individual World. Furthermore, it has presented an opportunity for us to consider the lifting of restrictions on transfers between between legacy and non-legacy Worlds."
From this information and looking at the patch notes again, this means that the housing will drop down to as starting prices (I'm assuming the .14% decrease up to 50% of housing total cost still applies)
Small - 8 to 10 mill
Medium - 30 mil to 37.5 mil
Large - 100 mil to 125 mil
While still large amounts, things don't seem so hopeless anymore when it comes to FC housing.
