It's almost comical at this point how everyone and their lalafell want to make apartments more appealing while also failing to address that they already are cheaper and permanent. So sure, you want apartments to be bigger. Potentially the size of a medium or a large house. What's the tradeoff here because frankly, throwing out more gil isn't it.

Square Enix will not make the additional hardware they have purchased for wards become obsolete just so that apartments can be supposedly more appealing. So how do you bonify apartments while also keeping houses relevant? How do you prevent the outrage from house owners when they suddenly have a better housing option than current apartments? Do you pull a patch 2.3 and tell them **** you and whatever gil or money you have spent?
