1) FCs are getting prioritized (somewhat good but you can "buy" an FC). Get 4 people together to temp buy a house and viola.
4) Want two houses? Temporarily make an FC with 4 randos and buy a house. They can leave after and you can still have your secondary private estate! How thoughtful.

I think FC still have to be rank 5 or 6 to buy a house. So it will at least take a month before that happens..Maybe this was the preparations Yoshi was trying to prevent.


If they would just add shared estate option to apartments oh and a garden, I would be happy. My friend and I like to decorate together so a house is the only option.

Currently an FC needs rank 6, but that really doesn't take that long to get if working on just that. Multiple players have done it in under a day and I've personally done it solo in a rather crazy 7 hours. I'm sure some people have done it even faster than that too.

I just want 4.2 to get here.
Turning off auto-demo has completely killed the crafting market on my server.

On an interesting note the preliminary notes say that auto demo will be effective immediately for everyone who hasn’t stepped into their house during the suspension period. More houses available soon! \o/

For FC's or relocations.

I've ranked an FC solo in about a week or so without excessive grinding, just expert dungeon turn ins. If anything they need to increase the required experience or something. :/

Curious question to those multi house owners.... Are they "Stuck" on their plot or can they still relocate and keep their houses...?

In the recent live letter:

A: Relocating and purchasing are processed differently, so you are able to relocate.

So although it only says about FC estates, it does confirm purchase and relocate are different, so it looks very much like multiple personal house owners will still be able to relocate as we know that it's the purchase step which has the restrictions.

Back when SE first originally announced the relocate function at all they only gave an example with FC usage and of course it turned out that relocate works personal as well so I don't think this will be any different.
