Greetings!

Back when housing was first released, me and my FC didn't have enough money for a large plot so we settled on a medium.

This was great and we have had our house from day 1, we've invested so much time and money in to the house to make it the way we want to be and so our company feels at home.

However, we have recently been in a lot of heated discussion regarding housing since a lot of the large plots were vacated due to inactivity.

Now that the opportunity is here and we have enough gil, we would like to move to a large plot as we're growing in numbers - but there's no easy way to do it.
All the housing items we've dedicated a lot of time and effort in to making are destroyed upon removal, which is a little frustrating.

As well as this, we will lose our private chambers - we've got no problem paying for them again but we will lose a lot of unmovable items.

As a free company owner, I think I should be able to show my free company progression, I want to be able to reward my members with the house they desire after saving up so much money.
My members feel disheartened that after saving upwards of 100 million gil, they may have to spend a lot more gil than expected to get their beloved items back.

Here's my 2 cents on this topic, create a feature that allows an FC to move house.
Example;
  • FC currently owns a house, they attempt to purchase a second plot but it informs them that they already have a plot
  • A question is brought up on screen - would you like to transfer all of your housing items to your new house?
  • You click yes and then all of the items in the old house are packed in to a chest/container that is placed in the new house.
  • Said chest can't be simply "accessed" - you have to open the housing/decorating menu and you can select the items from the chest as you would from your inventory

A solution like this would work, because the items are NEVER in the players inventory, meaning they can't be sold and will still be destroyed if a player attempts to remove them.


Another possible solution would be to bind breakable items to an FC, so they can only be used and accessed by FC members.

The only downside to this would be people stealing items from personal homes.


Thoughts? Any chance of dev response?
