Thanks for keeping this thread going, Kvietok. After getting such a positive official response, it's strange we've heard nothing since.

With Stormblood on the way and submarines being added, we are going to have even more things to craft in the workshop. Since there isn't very much content for FCs apart from the crafting (no new ranks or perks to work for), new workshop recipes should be very welcome.
However, my excitement is definitely tempered by the realisation that needing four people to advance every stage is going to mean lots of potential play-time wasted (at the start of an expansion, too!), just hanging around the FC house until another three crafters are available.
