Aethernet Improvements.

[Orbital-Dragon]

Am I the only one that feels like several of the Aethernets are misplaced? Seems like in every map there is areas I really wish I could just teleport to but cant. The biggest one is Vesper Bay. Several story quests lead you back here, yet the closest location is Horizon, which granted isn't that far, but its still a pain.

I wish outside maps worked just like city maps. There should be one large Crystal at a main town, and every other encampment, or point of interest should have a mini crystal that will allow inner map travel.

Lastly why the hell does it cost so much money to teleport?

Because you would level up nearly as often as you should if you could just teleport everywhere and use the aethernet everywhere. There's a reason why only the cities have the net and the outside ones don't.

I agree that you should be able to teleport to Vesper Bay and not have to choco in from Horizon every time...that gets really old fast.

Actually the devs said the absence of an Atheryte Crystal in Vesper Bay is intentional because of certain story events.

teleport cost a lot because it is needed for the gil sink

[Orbital-Dragon]

Yeah well that is another big issue in this game. The gil sink is much higher then the gil gain. Once people run out of quests and stop making gold from them the rich are just going to get richer and the poor will not have any money, and very little ways of attaining it.

[oceanlord]

yeah if you just enjoying the game and play casually, i doubt it you will have lot of gil

[BlaineCraner]

Bah, I like the chocobos. I prefer to use those. =)
Gives me time to stand up and stretch, or get a coke and cookies.
It's JUST two minutes to get o the place. Come on... people get butt hurt over 2 minutes? Next you guys will tell me that even teleporting is too slow and everything in the game should be instantaneous. That instead of a world to enjoy you should just have a list similar to leves, but with unique story fluff.

[O-Deka-K]

For those who don't know already, you can also get to Vesper Bay by ferry:
1. Go to Limsa Lominsa.
2. Aethernet to the Arcanist's Guild.
3. Walk west and take the ferry (200 gil).

Of course, if you have to teleport to Limsa and then take the ferry, then this could end up costing more gil than going to Horizon. Alternatively, like the poster above me does, you could teleport to Horizon and then take the chocobo porter.

Well, they kinda made it up from it Lore wise.
They need the Gil for something something about something to keep Aetherltes going or something.
I dunno, I think they told you when you first touched the lyte in your starter city.
