I think I should start this thread by saying yes, I know you can do everything on one character in this game and I know the cost is $18. But recently I've been considering sending an alt to either Cactar or Jenvoa. I'd like to see what the other servers are like and although there have been posts about transferring items between character via FC chests, I never found it necessary, since each character is rather separate in each of their activities. I've looked into what I have to do before I transfer over, such as not have things in market board, have no friends on friend's list, have no linkshells, I must be offline, and have only 1mil gil on you and 300000 on each retainer. But what else would it effect? Will my story progress, dungeon unlocks, Gold Saucer cards, items, and other things be safe as this happens?
