I watched the live letter waiting for a few specific things to be mentioned. Unfortunately, most of what I had wanted to hear about weren't addressed (Summoner Egi Glamours please!?), including this one.
I have a house, my FC has a House, my game wife has a house. The three houses used to have 5 gardens that were never empty. They were churning out everything from Jute, to Mandy Minions to chocobo fruit for months and months. Until Heavensward. When certain quests ruined the chocobo fruit market and the Housing wards all filled up and Jute wasnt worth the weeks of time and effort and everyone had all the minions.
All the items that would have been gardened seem to have migrated to the Airship Venture system or other places in Heavensward.
So my question is... Will 3.1 bring ANYTHING to Gardening? Please say yes.
