Way to kill the game SE

[Yolteotl]

I don't care much about how to obtain or how expensive the houses are but my problem is houses are so useless in this game.

you can't logout on your bed, you can't re-watch cutscenes, you can't summon the barber guy, and it doesn't mean anything to stay in your house (my biggest problem with it).

staying in our house should give us some buff like exp plus, item drop rate plus, crafting buff, etc. give us some reason to go back to our room after we spent millions of gil for it.

You mean like how the original sales pitches for housing boasted you could do things like build windmills for xp buffs? Lol that's like 5 layers of lies about Housing ago...

I understand the fundamental dynamics of the game revolves around 6 month cycles, but do the Dev's really need to repeat their mistakes in 6 months cycles as well? This just reeks of the exact same poor decisions by the Devs and backlash from the players dealing with the initiation of FC housing (although the backlash isnt AS loud because many people just gave up since then). Which gives it the appearance of the Dev's 'listened' in hindsight to the issues as they played out, but as far as future development refused to make the adjustments learned from prior feedback.
