So like, houses were demolished and stuff. What was your experience?

Houses are a waste of money and completely pointless. I don't see the big deal about it.

Nor do I, but a lot of people like playing Barbie's Dollhouse in their fantasy game, for whatever reason. Decorating and redecorating, trying to get whatever one is "best" according to their aesthetic.

The only practical use for a character house right now is the garden. And that's a hefty price to pay to be your own gardener. Of course, it may be the only recourse if your FC lacks a house or already has a full-time gardener.

lol What do you consider not "a waste of money" on this online game/hobby/pass time/fake fantasy world? Item repairs? You repair gear in order to keep playing (like everyone else) because you enjoy playing. People buy houses because they enjoy them. At the end of the day, everything you spend gil on in the game is for the same thing.

Pointless? Sure. To you. To many people. But I'm sure someone in your life thinks you playing this game is pointless and paying for the sub is a waste of money. Again... I assume you get joy out of the game therefore it's not pointless or a waste of money to you.

what else is there to spend gil on? houses and glamour are basically it... oh, and you are effective renting the plot anyways for 20% of it's value + non removable items - at any point in time you can decide to not enter your house for 45 days and get 80% of your gil back...for a small you are able to rent a garden plot for less than a million effective gil depending on grade and server...which can be made back in a week or two selling garden items.
