Nothing special, the game has been overhyped for years, this is just going back to reality.

The game direction - mass producing hand-crafted content to continuously replace previous content - has always been a dangerous gamble. They can never really focus something, and it's only recently they started to look back a little.
The plot is all over the place, the cut-scene quality is awfully random, the battle system is shallow, boss fights have been reduced to one-shot gimmicks (creating the problem with "healing" being nearly inexistent), the "open-world" areas are useless, the quests are lazy, and a lot of other things (like the horrible chocobo races)
None of this is from individual incompetence from the designers or programmers ; they just can't do better because the updates schema makes it impossible to focus on quality.

That being said, today housing bug is probably unrelated to all of this, it's the kind of small bug that happen everywhere ; it just happened to hit at the wrong place.
