PS4/PC Setting Transfer

[Niwashi]

It's been asked for a number of times, an issue that's stuck around ever since the game was released. I'm really hoping SE will eventually give us that ability.

We should be able to copy the HUD Layout and all the Character Configuration settings from one character to another, even for those just using one platform.

And we should be able to transfer hotbar layout, macros, and gear sets from one platform to another. (Ideally, they should just be stored on the servers with the rest of our character data, so they're always available from any platform, but I'd even settle for just a manual "upload settings" option from one platform then a "download settings" option on the other. I could do that much every time I make changes to them.)

I currently have the game only on PS4, but would add PC as well if this were possible, and I know (from previous similar threads) that there are quite a few more like me who would as well, so SE should be able to make some money off the additional platform licences.

I imagine if we get it, this is how it will be. The main reason why is because they often cite data transfer between server & client as being something they don't wish to tax too much, and doing it as a server thing may cause this very issue. If it's client side with manual saves/loads via server however, that seems far more doable, and it's something we have precedent for given FFXI having such a manual feature...
