Shirogane Housing and Relocation

This is definitely the way to do it! Good going SE! Now you just need to block reselling for a couple months to stop the scalpers and it would be perfect.

Wish it included a copy and paste of the furnishings. I spent a lot of time getting everything in my house right, but no longer wish to live in the Goblet and was looking to move to the Lavender Beds... I'm not enthusiastic about even trying - yes, trying - to place everything as it was, at all.

Just take snapshot of your current layouts. Plus they can't guarantee copy paste floors if people move different size house.

I hope this is a precursor to FC world transfers they promised when they begged us to move from congested to preferred/new worlds.

Obviously pasting a small layout to a large wouldn't work; so obvious was the impossibility of it, that I thought it pointless to put in my post as I assumed anybody reading couldn't possibly think such a belief was in the post because of the aforementioned obviousness. I guess you really do need to specify everything online...

As for snapshot, that really isn't the answer as it'd take a lot of screenshots; with said screenshots I'd still have to do the floating tricks and non-grid-based positioning I did and get it right to fully replicate my old layout -- a lot of effort.

It's just a wish is all. I did say I wasn't enthusiastic about it, but I will try nonetheless.

Some house layouts are too complex to recreate in a reasonable time. I know for my house, it would take over 10 hours even if I knew at all times where to place each item.

It should transfer everything if you have the same size. Square definitely dropped the ball on this system. Disappointing to be honest.

I was going to transfer the house, but now I just can't justify it, so I'll wait until Square (hopefully) allows furnishings to transfer in the future.

I'm... uncertain how to feel about the discount. On the one hand, it makes things more affordable for those wishing to upgrade. On the other... it furthers the already extensive competitive and offers a discount for house flippers who are just going to log off in front of their old houses.

It's almost not worth bothering with any longer. Once Shirogane releases, no one on Balmung or Gilgamesh who has a house will transfer regardless of the perks. You can't give them another house. The devs missed the mark entirely on that.

Those of us that have FCs but no house might like to be able to transfer the FC to another world where some of our ex members transferred.

I'm a bit confused by the 30% relocation discount. Why would you relocate when you can just leave the original to be demolished and collect almost all the gil back? (assuming you have the gil to cover both of course)

EDIT: I rambled quite a bit in my original post so here is the short version-
Right now you can either wait out the 40 day timer and get 80% of your gil back and then wait god-knows how many days/weeks/months for a new house that you want to buy to open up.
OR
Find a house you want to buy that is open, relinquish your old one for 0% of your gil back, then be able to buy the new house immediately.

The new feature lets you buy the new house immediately and still gives you 30% of your gil back along with some huge QoL upgrades.
