    I'm surprised somebody has not filed a lawsu....nevermind.
    The game advertisement isn't saying "we are selling this specific house". It's saying that housing is part of the game and providing a sample of what's included in the system.

    There's no false advertising going on. There is no promise being made that a player will be able to obtain that specific house.

    Perhaps not a specific house by the beach but their advertising in my language literally says I can build my own house (construisez votre maison). It doesn’t say “decorate your dwelling”. It refers specifically to a house and shows the picture of a house. Those that have a house can also own an apartment (which is just a medium sized room)

    That graphic is weird, and is clearly a point of community contention the localisation team should try and correct. It's very much a misleading "perfect Hamburger" ad.

    Like the English, the French is missing the "tu peux même aménager ta propre chambre" which the German and Japanese versions have. The English even suggests you can become a "Realm Renowned Artisan" lol 'sif. The French at least is "fabriquez toute sortes d'objets", the German "Craft and sell your own items", the Japanese "Make items as a craftsman"

    When I read the German version, I see that we can do two things: build a house (Errichte mit freunden oder alleine dein eigenes zuhause!) and even -sogar-(not “or”) make my own room. I don’t see how that contradicts the French version. It just adds an extra thing we can do on top of building a house. It is cumulative. As for the Japanese version, I don’t read Japanese and don’t trust auto translators for subtleties.

    Still the French version has full validity under the law here, not the Japanese version.

    Hey, I don't deny it. The localisation is terrible, like the housing system.

    As I said, the ad is clearly causing contention in the community, they need to correct it so it's no longer a misleading "perfect hamburger" type ad.
