IE, buyer must trade the seller 50M gil before the seller initiates the house sale function for the buyer.

Trades to cancel buys is a completely different issue than house flipping and is irrelevant to that topic.

I just hope they keep relocating system, I just want to switch my house spot xD

But I do hope they will make house limits, one house per server PLUS letting alts share the one house they are given. Like this they wouldn't have to listen to complaints so much and having the need to release more wards.

If retaining external fixtures applies to the complete external housing glamours, might be good to snag a few of those while they're super cheap from retainers bringing them back and demand being low. Going to be fun to change things up without completely negating the work on glamours that the fc has done.

I want to be able to move the ceiling fixture also. I was going to make the ice one for the large downstairs med house room but it would be in an awkward place simply shining a blue glow where it is not needed instead of over my huge table. Fixture placement especially with room separation is bad.

if i recall (and i was barely awake at the time) it was mentioned in passing for possibly 4.3, along with Cross server Linkshells.

I'll be honest, i don't recall it all, i'd been working on about 2 hours of sleep and i know one of the translations had it, but it's since been pulled...so i'm not sure on the validity.

I think cross server LS is something in the to do list for this expansion but we haven't heard anything beyond that they're looking into it.

they've been talking about it, but...the problem is not being fully awake. I know something was mentioned about the two, but i don't recall exactly what. an early translation that i read over after i'd taken a nap said something about 4.3 for both, but it's since been removed.
