Questions regarding house moving feature

[Final-Fantasy]

Its pretty straight forward, if you own a plot with an estate on it, this move feature saves you from loosing your current plot, because prior to move you must demolish and relinquish (now anyone can buy your plot) this way the system does it for you as you stand at the new plot to purchase, saving you the prior steps plus moving your character to the new housing area, you'd most likely get beaten to it and then loose out and have to buy another plot you didn't want. As for the old plot purchase cost, i don't see why they would return your gil, this would open up a new can of worms, players buying and selling plots and making 100% profits, nobody would be getting a house then without paying someone else first...

The difference is you choosing to demolish your old house or the system doing it without your consent. The 80% of the price paid is compensation if that happens and people are just using that to their advantage to get money back, but that's not what it was designed for which is why you won't get any back on moving either.

I'm curious.
Can I move my M-size house from goblet to L-size house in Shirogane ?

[TitaniaZero]

Yes. In the Case of upping your size all it does is put your old stuff in the warehouse and you rebuild from there. Though I believe airships/workshops and personal rooms are kept, while everything else in the house is stored for reclamation. All you have to do is be able to afford the cost of getting the Large plot. (As well as beating everyone else.)

You can, though you need to pay for the new large plot in full at the placard.

I think you're expecting way too much if you expect there to be a refund for your current plot using the Move feature.

There SHOULD be no cost, as the player is not gaining an additional house but simply switching locations.

SE has proven they have zero interest in designing a player-friendly housing system, though...

That makes no sense at all...

Sure, I'll just move from the worst and cheapest small plot in The Goblet to the largest and best plot in the new housing area, for no cost.

Each plot has a grade (1 to 5) which determines the price you pay, depending on size and location in the ward, so that would limit your selection I'm sure.

If you are swapping 1 to 1, there should be no cost.

(Personally, I advocate for all-access instanced housing, which would make this irrelevant, but for the sake of this thread... Equal house should not incur any additional moving cost.

False. There should be cost because the weeb houses will be the most sought after. Doesn't matter, the liveletter already confirmed that you will be buying the plot.

And who's to say the transfer would only be used to the Doma housing district? (Your derogatory descriptor is not necessary.)

I know what the live letter said. I disagree with that decision.
