I agree that they need some revision in "4.1x+", although not really for the same reasons. Like a lot of things from ARR, the age is showing on some stuff. There's less need than ever for FC buffs since squadron missions can almost entirely replace them, for example. You can buy most of the gc credit items on the market boards, like the carbuncle clock, etc. There's airships, but those are a lot of work and not terribly worth it, we haven't used ours in over a year. Honestly, weighed against a personal house, FC's are mostly just a social venture at this point, and that is not bad, social ventures in MMOs are great, but it would still be nice to see them take a second look at the rewards and maybe bring a little bit more up to date. Same could be said for chocobos and a handful of other things. That said, I'm not optimistic, Yoshi-P has always said he'd rather make new things that re-work old ones, and I get it. We'll see what happens in time, I guess.
