Not that I defend the appalling state, because I don't. But man the armchair developers are out in full force with these speculations.

This is the kind of thing that should have been picked up immediately in QA testing, so definitely seems like there was either zero or very little testing.

Exactly - who is to blame here? The developer who started this mess? The manager who didn't check the work? The QA guy who didn't do enough? Let's not forget the QC guy - was he looking at porn instead? Their managers who aren't doing their own QA/QC? The failure of not checking this on the pre-prod environment by testers? Or, the Director for letting it all pass through?

I pick "All of the above" personally.

Good thing I am not armchair developer then Well I work on financial software so I take these things seriously. Since this is a game then for us as customers to be treated fairly for something as contentious as housing system is well within expectations. After all, the houses are virtual and Square Enix have all the tools needed to satisfy us as customers.
