It's still a problem. Switching the FC wards to personal won't be enough, especially as shell FCs are whittling down the FC houses still left lottery period by lottery period. For Coeurl, the FC plots still remaining would only satisfy about 1/3 of what our unmet personal demand appears to be.


SE can continue to push it that way all they want but it's not what players want. Players want access to personal houses because then they get to fully engage with the system instead of being limited to visiting a house while the FC officers get to keep all the fun parts for their personal use.

IF SE truly wants housing to be limited to FCs only, then they need to take away the rank hierarchy settings that allow FC officers to exclude their members from house related content. It will cause absolute chaos, of course, but it will also show why prioritizing FC needs while ignoring personal needs is the wrong way to design the content.
and private housing should have workshops as well. Since I can't use my FC workshop I should be able to have my own
