Why is Housing even desired?

Finding the best furniture combos is the true endgame.

Convenience of having everything in one central location, where I don't have to see /shout spam, or deal with people spamming skills, or listening to a hundred other crafters crafting away.

Although i recently gave up my personal house, to re-buy it as my FC's house, since it'll most likely be a LONG time till a Large plot opens up.

Plus the fun aspect of it, sometimes like to go around my ward and see how people have their yards/houses decorated, especially around the holidays.

Gardening, and just to show off my wealth. Also on the original post about how you have no ties to your neighbors, I guess it depends on your server. In Zalera, just about anyone with the money to afford a private house or a FC house knows one another. So we constantly visit each others houses, Critic one anothers furnishings, and plot raids. Zalera also has a lot of roleplayers also, so the housing ties into that as well. Mostly my house is to just show off acheivments and all the stuff I crafted.

Not just any house will do. I want a house in Mist so I can have a beach house. There's no way I'd ever be able to afford a house on the beach in real life, so a fantasy one will have to do.

Well, if I can manage to get one, anyway.

What.

I just want to have my own little piece of digital property that is mine. Right now I'm using a friends house for farming and have my chocobo stabled there, but I'd like to be able to have the autonomy of my own home.

I don't want an FC room because it is forever tied to the FC, so to me it's not the same.

Why? Because I live vicariously through my little Miqo'te and dammit she needs a place to live instead of being a hobo...
