My FC has a lot of fun in our house. We only have a small one right now, but we have the garden going and I'm looking forward to the individual player housing being added. I do think that maybe the gardening aspect shouldn't have been implemented as a "guild" thing. It wasn't in XI, and I have heard of some guilds that have "discussions" over what to grow and who is handling the garden. So far we have escaped any such conflicts, but whenever you have an aspect of the game with the potential for large profits... you run the risk of big conflicts by adding more people to the mix.

So in closing, I really like the housing. It makes my FC feel like it's not just a linkshell to take on and off. We are a real presence in Balmung - a real permanent fixture.
