I've been off the Free Trial for about a month, saved up every item i could with my saddlebag and sold enough that i could start trying for a small house. I somehow lucked out, and got a small plot in the Lavender beds on Sargatanas on my like 3rd or 4th attempt. Funny i get this reccomended to me after the fact. That site would of saved me a few hours of going to every plot in every district to find my favorite plot for that round

I can feel your pain, been bidding on Balmung since lottery become a thing, got my small house during 6 ward expansion, then by some miracle I got a pretty nice medium house after soooooo many round with sub 0.5% chance. All I can say is hang in there, your server isn't particularly competitive, it is reasonable to expect a medium upgrade before next expansion. BTW Apartment item limit is 100 only, I vaguely remember dev said there will be an item limit expansion in next expansion though, so maybe like you said it will be 200 item sometime soon!

[@EavingTidemoore]

Your support and encouragement mean a lot. It's heartwarming to know others understand the struggle.

Top top, don't bid straight away. Watch the houses for sale and how many bidders. I got my medium house by bidding last minute and there was only one other bidder. Paissa DB is a life saver.

[@EavingTidemoore]

Nice one! Sneak in at the last minute and swoop in for the win!

[@TomTheOwl68]

Yeah, I felt bad though lol.

[@YericoTsu]

ive lost 2 smalls and 2 mediums over then 9 years ive played due to long hiatus's trying to buy a new medium but first time using lottery. last attempt 150 players in the lottery :(

[@EavingTidemoore]

Don't give up! Persistence pays off in the end.

I stumbled my way into a house friend of mine said a lot was for sell next to his fc house. So was like why not entered at like 10pm woke up the next day and had a house. Right next to market board and summon bell

[@EavingTidemoore]

Dude, waking up to a house next to the market board is like winning the housing lottery! Congrats!

[@MagiaErebea028]

@@EavingTidemoore yea people been telling me how lucky that is

[@rathazure]

I ended up server hopping to dynamis so that I could get my medium. There was a bunch of mediums that went up for sale and there were only 2 others bidding on the house that I won.

[@EavingTidemoore]

That's awesome! Congrats on winning the bid! I don't know if I can commit to server hopping to Dynamis for a bigger house myself though.

[@shmout9410]

the housing system just sucks, even if you do win the house, when there is no content in the game for a while, or you want to take a break, you have to stay subbed just to go to your house like every month, and then you are back to trying to buy another when you come back :)

[@EavingTidemoore]

I feel you. The struggle is real when it comes to keeping up with the housing system in the game. Let's hope they make some improvements soon.

[@pudding-c5i]

Me and buba got our houses right next to each other in LB. Sure it’s small, but I’m never ever moving out else where!

[@kimfry4019]

I have a medium house and I run out of item slots I can't wait til SE adds more slots in Dawntrail

[@EavingTidemoore]

Running out of item slots can be frustrating, but hopefully, the developers will address this in 7.1 and not 7.55!

[@snonyabeeswax]

im saying it now its not worth the stress im sticking to my apartment lol i play often but i took a break for a while and lost my house so yea not doing that again.

[@EavingTidemoore]

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's important to find the right balance between enjoying the game and avoiding unnecessary stress.

[@hellshock9151]

been trying losing every time so i gave up on buying a house

[@EavingTidemoore]

Don't give up! Keep trying and you'll eventually succeed.

[@xXIARIXIXx]

Right, never give up

[@kjriwoutube]

Funny everyone finding it hard to get housing on materia 75 percent of plots are still empty on the data center

[@EavingTidemoore]

Well yeah, hardly anyone plays on Oceanic

[@kjriwoutube]

@@EavingTidemoore yea me one of 5 out side of busy time 6pm to 11 pm got a 50 50 chance of ff 14 being a single player game cause your the Only one on the server had limsa all to myself at 2pm not one other person

[@snoozebutton9996]

not 75 % on EU Servers, but we still have quite a lot small houses available. Everyone that really, really wants a house could get one. Sadly the community only values the medium ones. And instead of getting at least a small one, they cry that there are no houses. There are, "You" just don't want them.

[@gameplayfunny7650]

I got mansion in new server 😂😂 my neighbor are open 😂😂

[@EavingTidemoore]

Congratulations!

[@tEspur]

Hey im on that world

[@EavingTidemoore]

That's awesome! Hopefully, I'll see you in game

[@mario4356]

I own 3 side by side, Expanding to buy the Ward slowly. Drop playing the game to fully house hunt is my only advise.

[@DjNyx86]

sooooo..... your complpaining about getting a house but make a video about how to get a house for everyone xDDD.... think you need to go touch some grass outside and rethink about what your gonna say xD no offense just find it funny xDD

[@EavingTidemoore]

It's a light hearted comedic video with a teaching aspect. I don't know why you took offense to the video, but it wasn't my intention
