Gil cost for Teleport - Throwing money up in the air while casting?

I did like sometimes how 1.0 did it, instead of it costing gil it cost a resource (anima i believe) that would regenerate slowly. It had its issues, but the gil costs of some are just way too much to make sense.

The further away you are, the more it costs to teleport there. Makes sense enough.

We would just need one small crystal and we would have to fill it up for money to teleport. We teleport using magic, of course, and yes, i can accept that explanation. And yes, i COULD accept the explanation about the money being teleported, but it is not explained in any way in the game.
Just because its a fantasy world doesnt mean that the world shouldnt make sense and the things shouldnt be explained.

Actually, it doesn't need to all be explained. That's part of being a fantasy, not all of it needs to make sense. There doesn't need to be a perfect outline for everything. If there was, it would remove all allure and mystery to be had.

To be fare, nothing in any fantasy world makes any sense. Why are there so many humanoid species existing together, when nature plays to survival of the fittest, and races like Lalafel would have been killed off by the stronger races. Why are Mi'quote considered a cat people race, when they don't resemble anything like cats(they don't posses cat ears, at all, and they're far to human-esq in appaerance). point is, not everything needs to make perfect sense. And worrying about something so miniscule, makes no sense either.

Whats makes these crystals make so much more sense? the same questions can be made about your crystals. what happens to them when you teleport. Do they break? do they turn to dust? are they the actual portal? or do they just magically disappear?

Thank you, but I'd rather not have an inventory slot taken up by an item that makes no more or less sense then the current method, which doesn't take up an inventory slot.

Yes, and that explains just as much about what it does, as why you have to pay gil to teleport.

Lol I whent broke last night teleporting too much... but yeah I feel like it should maybe be on a timer or something and maybe time gets reduced by killing monsters and doing quests?

You all making this game like real world with logic explanation. But tell me , why we need logic explain when we already in fantasy! ? IT IS A FINAL FANTASY !! Hello ~.~ There an NPC when you first encounter it.

I rarely teleport anywhere. It's such a small world and so easy to sprint. Plus I like to save my gil for anything I may want later on in the game ;)

Thanks for pointing out, I'll start another character just to read it's explanation, this one you provided is actually interesting.

Wait, so your complaint was basically, this doesn't make sense (which is really a lore issue), but you didn't read the text that explained the lore of the game... So your opinion on this subject was negated in its entirity. It really bothers me when someone complains about lore, or lack of, but doesn't take the time to actually read all the NPC, quest, dungeon, leve, etc. dialog that the game provides.
