FCs are glorified linkshells. They really serve no other purpose really. You can tell people in a linkshell that your official place of meeting is at the Maurader's guild in Limsa, conversely you can do the same in an FC. You can treat your private estate like an FC house, only FC members will not get their own room. Linkshells have competitions sometimes and of course hunts / treasure portals / raid recruitment etc... This isn't much different than an FC chat. The ONLY thing that an FC does that linkshells does not besides the amount of people that can be in the chat at once is the bonuses like getting 15% bonus XP. BUT you can do that without an FC using scrolls and stuff.

People want their own houses as well, they pay for the sub they should get a house with it. Final fantasy 14 is the ONLY MMORPG as far as I know that limits player housing because of the poor way they implemented it which ended up costing SE a fortune in server fees.

If you want to complain about anything, complain about the fact that after all these years, they haven't rebuilt housing from scratch. This is something they need to do but they probably won't. At the very least, they should permit us to have any sized house inside any plot. They could call it temporal space allotment or something. And give us more than 20 objects to put outside and 200 items inside because that's way too little. 30 outside, 400 inside for small houses please

/rant lol sorry about that
