With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

Don't think the devs see this as much as an issue

The current teleporting system takes away the adventure.

takanaka and the old crew were not done with the current mode of tansformation.. do you forget how long it takes ot travel? want to take 60 minyes getting to place to place.. then die because of a mistake/ or get stuck with non warp...

If you don't like Anima, simply don't use it, Yoshi-P says he still likes the whole Anima deal but it will probably be tweaked to some extent. FFXIV is a full hardcore game no matter how much you want to it be and it will keep the Anima system to cater to the casual MMO players that the game was aiming for. As a hardcore player I really enjoy the benefit of having Anima at times I don't feel like hoofing it on foot. I generally always have over 80 Anima because I am the type of player who will run from point A, to B to C and maybe port back to town. Sure it would be neater if they had a similar approach to FFXI Tele and warp system but at the time they do not and I enjoy what they do have for the time being.

Some people wish to remain ignorant to the problems anima will cause the game if left unchanged and are making this into an "Us Vs. You" argument, which it is not.

Fact remains, if anima is not changed, I will never have a need to use gil sink transportation, because anima is plentiful.
I know I'm not the only person who spends anima wisely and always has 70-80 available.

I only hope SE considers this a problem too.

Straight from Yoshi-P:

We’re also going to be balancing in-game means of transportation.

Our main focus will be on the already existing anima-based teleportation system, but new forms of high-speed travel are on the way as well.

All of this means big changes to the game’s balance, aimed at giving players the freedom to play however they like.

I know there are players out there who are too busy irl to spend a lot of time playing during the week.

No problem!

Use your anima to get you where you need to go.

Maybe you have more time to play on the weekends?

Great!

Mount up and travel around Eorzea with your companions on chocoboback, or grab an airship!

This is the kind of freedom I want you to have—the freedom to choose your own style of play.

And it is going to be a major focus of FFXIV’s development from here on out.

In other words, you have the freedom to go play how you like and use a chocobo if you want while I have the freedom to go play how I like and use anima if I want and this is EXACTLY how Yoshi-P would like the game to be developed - to include many different options for players to choose from to have fun with while playing the game.

I agree with Yoshi-P and thank him for all the options the game currently has and will include in the future.

Have fun.

agreed. remove this useless thing. Teleporting and warp should be a mage ability. implent chocobo and airships and you can travel however you want. and if this is not enough for the spoiled ones, the developers could add a train in Thanalan that starts outside uldah.

Dont get me wrong right now it is a god send. but this is what chocobos and airships are for....

yeah they should just make the whole game like F11, lol.

Maybe reducing max anima value. 50/50 + mounts instead of 100/100 ? But thats just an option, I like anima :-) but haha I am on 0, so I will bless chocobo.

Make outposts warp type of transportation(like the one we had in ffxi)
Best method ever, it was content in itself just getting them all.

Sorry but my PGL has cure3 and sacrifice3, so that makes no sense, and the armoury system makes no sense too by that definition. Seeing as I can just equip or on the spot equip my weathered cane (I currently dont have/have a use for CON weapon anymore) and use it anyway.

PLAY HOW YOU WANT! Thanks Yoshi, oh and I have ~30 anima because I'm nice, and I tele you conservative ppl around when you don't wanna spend your own hoard of anima. Thank god for chocobos so I can save my anima back up a lil faster.
