You can always move over to Materia if you want housing, we've still got small plots available for FCs ๐ Probably not the smartest idea if you're not in Australia though...
I didn't enjoy the variant dungeons enough to bother going through all the routes personally. They felt like a slog. To be fair I did do them solo, would probably be better in a group, but yeah, it wasn't content that grabbed me. I do want to go back to whichever one gives you the giant pixie mount though at some point. Will get to that some day.
I finally got my last Endwalker role quest done a few weeks ago too! I didn't have a high level melee DPS and picked up Viper after Dawntrail so was finally about to get through it all (kinda cheated in ShB since melee and ranged were just grouped as physical DPS). They're a bit of fun honestly, I enjoyed doing them. Hope you are as well!
And nothing wrong with feeling disinclined to play for a bit! The game is honestly structured around that, so put your feet up so to speak, do what you feel like doing and don't feel worried about not logging on!
It's less that there's lack of plots, but that the "good" plots are highly contested when available, hehe. I have a small house myself, so I was kind of pushing for a medium plot for the FC so I can experiment with the extra housing slots.
That's fair. The variant dungeons can feel like a slog, but I enjoyed the music and just looking at the scenery. I actually also enjoyed the fact that I could do them solo at my own pace, but I am more or less a lone wolf type of player. Doing the odd route every now and then probably attributed to less burnout too.
Well, I'm enjoying the Endwalker role quests more than the Dawntrail ones. I can guarantee that. That does remind me that there are some optional quests to tie up the job role quests from pre-Shadowbringers...
Don't worry, I'm embracing the non-grind mentality. Plus, there's a bunch of upcoming games coming out (Final Fantasy XVI), so I'll be occupied anyhow.

And yeah, totally understand about the lack of good plots. That being said if you can afford it I'd still recommend getting your foot in the door so to speak with a view to upgrade later when you can, only because it gives you access to the company workshop and submarines, which while it takes months to fully max out eventually becomes a license to print gil with minimal work. And since it does take a while to get to that point, the earlier you start the sooner you'll be done.
Plus you can unlock workshop crafts to make the new housing facades. They're often a good money maker right when the new patches drop!
Funnily enough, I was going to look up whether progress from workshops and the like are transferred when upgrading to larger plots. So I have been looking at smaller plots to at least get things going. Thanks for the information!
And yeah, I actually really like the new cottage walls. Being a big fan of Final Fantasy IX, it really hits me with nostalgia. That's sort of why I was looking for a plot in The Lavender Beds - I think the cottage walls really suit the aesthetics there. And another revenue source wouldn't go amiss, haha.
Fun fact as well, if you have one of the custom facades being used on your house and then upgrade to a larger plot, the facade upgrades to the new size as well! So you don't need to say grab a small one initially and then craft a medium one later, it'll just upgrade with the plot.
Don't think it applies to the piecemeal facades though (not 100% sure on that) where you pick all the individual features.
