What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

If not for being lucky enough to own a mansion, I'd likely take a lengthy break - but if I lose that, I'd have zero interest logging into the game even if began catering to me directly.

Heh, comments like this make me wonder if the devs find housing working as intended encouraging or disheartening.
