Live Letter Updates

I missed the live letter (overslept) so I don't know where to see the video after the fact.   But, if you don't mind reading text, I've linked some resources below.  The first link is by far the quickest and more to-the-point to read.

I did a read of the Q&A and there is some interesting bits in there. The main question Marrra and I have is when individual housing comes out (in Q&A stated 6 months after 2.1 is released), can you set it up as a share house: ie Couples share a house like a FC shares one.

I can't see why not, that if a feature is there for the FC, some people will love the idea of having a house between friends and if it isn't out for 6 months, then whatever they see with the FC house release, will be fixed by individual housing.

Housing isn't coming until 6 months after 2.1?  Crap, I don't plan on being around that long, as of right now, I'm not intending to resubscribe after my initial 6 months.  

Thanks for the links, I'll watch them later.  I'm not sold on this FC housing yet, so am interested to see what more they have to present to us.

I loved the housing for Gridania and Ul'dah. Limsa looked a bit meh to me.  I love that 85% of stuff going into housing is crafted.  We have a strong crafting interest in the FC, so anything revolving around crafting is great for us to get into. We will post details about stuff after the meeting today, to involve anyone who is interested in the housing process.
