    Hopefully you'll get some housing soon! Missing a house can cut into a lot of free mounts, materials, and gil a FC can generate .

    A bit tangent but imo how FFXIV's housing is done is a huge mistake for MMORPG (it was made just for FC way way back when, so I know there are some reasons why it started this way but I still wish it will evolve), for FFXIV it is closer to "just housing" but having a home base in a long lasting content like an MMORPG is a huge point of grounding. .

    Housing can be a key part of the glue but because it's put off, restricted in more ways than one, and lose-able (this is huge too), its.. its just housing ;(. It has some pretty creative players, but I wish more could be said about it- listing it as a feature to the game sort of thing.

    If they do housing again in another mmorpg or if they can muster the resources for this one, I really and sincerely hope they don't do it this way again (the limited quantity part, they could run phasing to keep neighborhoods if they wanted- though I prefer more power via a sort of your own instance concept which also provides a more modular and granular growth system).

    Building up and growing a home is almost akin to building up a long term companion, a home away from home. In most games that give housing early and keep that content going with you as you play it's one of my most favorite features of those games. Even single player RPGs, like I think of Assassins Creed 3 (Native American Assassins Creed) and I just think fondly on my Homestead.
