exploring sucks in ffxi

as if getting all OPs is something you can easily achieve by your own hard work

...Is this double-sarcasm or something? Because it is. Achievable eventually through your own work, that is. That phrase just... doesn't make too much sense if it isn't true, considering 'easily achieve' and 'hard work' is sort of an oxymoron when placed together...

If you're alluding to the fact that we have to wait for some areas to be obtainable OP-wise based on conquest results, then yeah, that's not exactly something you can adjust unless you do the old-school task of setting out with a party of friends to gain conquest points in any number of ways. However, the more basic OPs, or at least OPs within a good distance of each other - for those that can't use teleport spells - are very easily obtainable.

i want to use my chocobo anytime i want without stupid whistle limits

The charges on the choco whistle are more than enough to last awhile...What could you possibly need so much choco calling for?

What they need is choco use in more areas

p.s remember when chocobos cost more than 1k to rent XD

oh you new people and your new fangled modes of transportation, back in my day, when we needed to get somewhere, we had to walk, we had to work to earn the right to get op warps, we had to run to sky, we had to get a chocobo in town or at a crystal

you have no idea how easy you have it

Ahh yes, the good old days when all you had were your own two legs, a chocobo, and maybe an airship pass if were that good. Wow, how far we've come. I'm grateful to SE for what they've done with traveling. Nothing wrong with a little running here and there. It's a big world, more players should take the time to get lost and explore it.

DNC with 12% movement shoes and chocobo jig runs quite fast as well, but then you have to lvl dnc quite high along with most of the other jobs that can move fast. Thf is also good with 12% movement boots and flee every 5 minutes unless you merit it down some. Nowadays it's easy to warp around everywhere though. When I first started the game years ago I ha to walk everywhere and get to a city to use a chocobo everywhere. I also spent many times using airships to get from city to city. Nowadays Abyssea maw warps can get you to areas fast, teleports, and there's even those teleport earrings you can craft with synergy. I have almost one for each city/town myself.

You should do like me and try go thru the whole La Thiene plateau at walking (not running) speed staying inside the road. It will help you appreciate the normal exploring while running speed better.
