I'm surprised that no one else has a take on this?

Imagine being able to work towards, not only GETTING a house, but being able to get either a SPECIFIC house, or even just being able to become neighbors with a friend!

I could see that becoming super cool, especially for like a married couple to get houses next to each other, maybe even working on decorations that "match" or somehow compliment each other (or even just having a "bridge" from one yard to the other).

And for those of us with the patience to hoard up a lot of gil over time, it would give us a meaningful outlet for it. I would happily pay big gil for a specific Large plot whenever Ishgard opens up, or even a specific Medium in Shirogane!
