10-26-2014, 08:30 AMTupsiRemember that 1.0 you could teleport to aetheral gates - as long as aether is still XIV's lifestream, teleportation is possible no matter what, unless of course, mages don't exist beyond Ishgard.Quote:

And there are 1-2 quests that even talk about how Dravania is unpopulated wilderness, and that the Sharlayans fled the destruction of some sort of event and used what resources they had left to "redo" the 1.0 aethernet system, with Ul'dah coin, due to Bahamuts destruction.Quote:

10-28-2014, 05:49 AMMageBlackCan only fly in the 3.0 areas and i would be willing to bet there are going to be way fewer teleport points.Quote:

Once we start venturing into areas less populated, unexplored, or conquered by beasts/Garlemald, our access to teleportation will be severely limited. Flying will become the most efficient form of travel.Quote:

I assume flying will be restricted only to new areas, and not pre-existing ones. I wonder if new open-world areas will transition seamlessly, allowing us to fly across them as one larger whole -- or if they will remain separate, and still make us transition between maps at specific points?

I just hope the city skies in the new areas aren't clogged up with hundreds of people afking on their flying mounts like in WoW. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

To offset the gil sync from teleports they could make a maintenance fee (that is optional, for those who don't care to use the feature), if you seldom travel you'd be better off teleporting, but if you travel frequently with distances the cost/time would greatly lean towards using your airship/mount. Depending on the detail (load on system) you might even be able to have it pop up like a "Skyrim" map (facing three loading screens wouldn't be that cool, specially for ps3 users). Also may use a world map as a way to add unique locations that may not make sense to be connected by the conventional zoning system (floating Fortress not found in Ishgard sky?).
They said way back when they were working on a world map but it wouldn't be ready for 2.0, curious if they scrapped it or not. Scenic mode where you just hang out above an area, Fishing with your feet off the deck over an ocean or deep ravine (cloud fishing). Would probably instance all this so it doesn't look bad (too much 'world map' clutter).
Unlikely though xD. -
