Breath life into what? Gil grinding? RMT activity?

Why shouldn't FC housing be for everyone? There are a lot of people that don't want to be in 500 person FCs, our FC has 42 people. We should waste 10 million gil to buy the equivalent of a single person mog house from XI? How is that even remotely "fun"?

It's a sandbox, and they made it ridiculously restrictive for what purpose?
