• If you have an alt character on the same world, that is in an FC that has a house, you personally cannot buy property for any other FC (you can relocate for them)

This is a problem. Just being in an FC doesn't mean you run the FC, have authority in the FC, or can access all the amenities. Someone may be in an FC with one character to play with friends, but they want to start their own FC on another character. They don't own the house for the other FC and may not even be able to access more than the basic items. It's not right they wouldn't be able to purchase their own FC house when they don't already own one.

Leave the FC for a day and then come back?

Thing is it doesn't say if you are a member of an FC your character can't buy. It states you may "Own one FC and one private house. The person who is head of the FC is considered as owner and may relocate that FC. It will count towards them as their one FC, regardless of who has permissions to relinquish/demolish. This is my understanding.

If you are a member of an FC with a house, then you own the FC house in SE's eyes, since some day you might inherit the FC if everyone else goes inactive.

This is ultimately just the end result of what the community has been begging Square to do: Make it harder for people to hoard houses/buy them up for the express purpose of reselling.

Unfortunately they did that without realizing that anything Square does to inconvenience that small subset of players will also inconvenience everyone else in the process. Arguably moreso.

It does. From that page.

"Has another character on the same World that is a member of a free company that owns land" and the column for Eligible to Purchase Free Company Land is "No"

It's as the MizArai described. And you would have to do what Flash says and leave the FC to purchase the land. That's a broken system when it actively encourages you to leave your FC.

i think they are doing it that way as another preventative measure against people hoarding
