If the whole point of yell is to move people out of Port Jeuno, then move Joachim and Horst away from the AH. Put them in the chocobo racing area. Without the ah people wont crowd around them and the chocobo racing area is pretty empty most of the time. Nice big area for people to spread out easy access for all nations to go visit to listen to shouts.

There already are Abyssea stone/teleport NPCs in the Chocobo Circuit. The fact that you don't know that shows how well it's working.

Thank you for the information. Im sure I wasnt the only person not to know this. I actually use Sandy as my hp and maw teleporter.

Gossip NPC's are a good idea, however....

I feel the appeal of Port Jueno is the AH, MH, Abyss NPC's, synergy furnaces (which I use while camping) etc are right there in 1 convenient location. So in other cities, unless they place them between AH, MH or a good location I'm not so sure how that will catch on. But I think it's a step in the right direction.

Though it's not EXACTLY the same set up of course, all these things including the AH, MH, synergy furnaces, and Aby NPCs (via the chocobo circuit) are accessible in spots like bastok mines, and other city zones. The only thing missing at this point is the ability to hear shouts concerning pick-up happenings in high traffic areas like PJ and...well PJ.

Recently, they've linked the auction houses and moved copies of the Abyssea-NPC's to alternative locations... although the problem lies in that the majority of people still hang out there to listen to and participate in shouts.

Just to drive the fact home, starter cities have linked AH's now so you can buy all the same crap that you could as if you were in Jeuno. After reading a few post here I don't think many realized that the AH's had been linked from city to city. Again, without the ability to hear random pick-up happenings, PJ will still win out in terms of where to park your character.
