I see people saying the neighborhoods aren't useful but I don't agree. I've made friends with several of my neighbors, both in Mist and after we moved to Shirogane. I'd like to keep that as is. I wish everyone could have a house if they could afford one, but FFXIV is almost 10 years old now. It's unlikely they will throw a lot of money at the game to add enough housing for everyone at this point. Look at it from the dev's side. They did add the apartment system to make it a bit better but all they got was complaints and "it's not good enough". Why not be thankful for what we have?
