Instanced Housing

[DPZ2]

Well, three if you count apartments and the island, but almost no one uses those (ironic considering they are much closer to instanced housing).

Just wanted to disabuse the notion that almost no players "use apartments" (or their predecessors ... FC rooms).

There are more apartments "in use" than there are actual houses in-game. It's easy enough to see this on the populated servers, as there are 64 houses and 90 apartments in each ward. I'll agree that some players use them as lumber rooms, but a lot of other players who don't need a front yard purchase one at 500,000 gil (and no lottery) and then dabble in decorating.

I agree pretty much with the rest of this poster's thoughts here.
