Imagine the uproar if a cool fun dungeon was released that required all people to not be in an FC.

It feels like an unnecessary requirement.
So do you feel that Free Company housing requiring you be in a Free Company to purchase a house is unnecessary?

If - similarly Free Companies could open their Raids to the public as many do with their Housing it would be an acceptable format? Preventing the abuse* or lack of cohesive strategy while giving players an incentive to invest time and effort into their micro-communities beyond a vanity system such as housing was my overall goal with this post; give Free Companies something active and engaging!

*The reasoning behind it being limited to Free Companies is it would immediately discourage the negative and derisive attitudes you encounter in dungeons like Crystal Tower. Accountability is sometimes a necessary evil - just as joining a static group, or a Free Company to access certain types of content might be considered a "necessary evil" to have a more stable and like-minded environment.

In the end - this is just an idea. Nothing more - and it's very unlikely we will see content of this nature make it's way into FFXIV: ARR for sometime if we do at all.
