Would the world end if we could teleport without anima?

I wonder what the reaction would be if they keep the limiter that anima represents but change how it acts?

What if they scrap anima and replace it all together with a cool down timer? Something along the lines of the length of the timer they put on return when they yanked its anima cost. Perhaps a bit longer though.

It keeps porting a some what finite resource but one that is far easier to manage. Though with this change it might be best to allow travel directly to the aether nodes via teleportation. Though something would have to be hashed out in the event that a party member had not touched that particular node.

Though with this solution you would have to use your ports for long distance travel like they were kind of intended for.

Tl:dr: Pull anima costs replace it with a global cool down timer. Walk your ass to black brush from uldah.

How about this? (serious proposal)

-Remove return.
-Increase armor damage upon HPing.
- Remove anima cost.
- Make it so you can't teleport from the menu.
- Make it so you can teleport... from aether TO aether.

How about that?

It would make the world much less interesting if I could just appear a few yards away from wherever I want to be at any time.

almost like my idea~ http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...mpany-teleport

Why don't we just abolish anima and have flight paths like all other MMOs do? Would give us a sense of travel still, sink money in for economy, and can still make their FP's not too near places of interest.

Yeah let's completely remove anything skillbased from the game and just all be able to one-shot things. It's only fair.

</sarcasm>

If they have more SKILL it's not an UNFAIR advantage.

It would still negate airships entirely, might as well remove them from the game at that point.

I could tele everywhere in xi and i wish i had a choco every time i had to make a 15 min run from the outpost i used ; ;

Teleports are not meant for the hardcore, the people who complain about anima are the ones who have a lot of time to play and abuse it to get around then complain that it takes them longer to get around cause they burned their anima. Teleports are meant for casual players who don't have a lot of time to play to traverse faster so that they can get things done without having to travel everytime. In the context of a person who might only have an hour to play during the week and does 2 craft leves a day they could easily get it done and use anima to travel to said destination then head back to town to rest for xp all in the process of an hour. But for someone who has time they could choco to said destinations and spend the extra 15-20 minutes it might take.

Best answer ever

Jesus people, seriously? Have none of you played FF11? (using as an example, lay down your canons.) There was one... ONE teleport device in each map of the game. None in the cities. Still used airships all the time, still used choco's all the time. The world is being revamped. Who said there will be teleport crystal in the major cities still? Fact is it no one knows what will happen till 2.0 hits. And then there is the "solution" for people that dislike anima... "Don't use it if you dont like it.." Really? Look people, I will admit i do find it inconvenient at times when i need to get somewhere quick and I do like free range ports. I've been on both sides of these ports and I'll tell ya, Free range ports did't kill any part of 11. Wether it be specific class based or crystal to crystal ports, dosnt matter. Point is, having free range ports gave you the option of doing 1 of two things or both and that is... Level the specific class to cap to have all teleports available to them or you had the option of actually grouping with someone and communicating with someone in an MMO.. Nobody is wrong here. You all just need to wait like everyone else. That's all I have. Troll away.

I see what you think. Teleports should make people wait the amount of time it takes to earn many gil. Because otherwise it would just be crazy, right?

Airship would be obsolete, but how would chocobos ever be obsolete?

So TheVedis is the first person to actually answer my question.

All the hard work of Airships (crafting 3 cutscenes LOL) would be gone if there were free teleportation. OK.

I'd like to say I'm bummed about that but I'm really not. So no one would ever use Chocobos? Why not? This would be a...

TRAGEDY!

No one riding those birds across my screen EVER! I don't think I could cope with that kind of Final Fantasy.

Unless there was a /chocobo on which put imaginary chocobos on your screen that looked like players riding around. Then ignorance would truly be bliss.
