Anima+Death=<3

Definitely against this idea... Also I think you misunderstand the whole lore point, I don't believe it takes away life force rather that by overusing anima it could have potential damage. Eventually one might disappear into the aether forever, or they cannot reconstruct their bodies. Might even have a point where overdoing it cause damage like a missing limb, deformities, etc. While the whole idea could be interesting for a "lore" approach it's just going to cause more trouble than benefits. Leave it as is.

*sigh* He's really trying with this one, isn't he.

Don't like it, don't use it. WORST CASE scenario, don't let us TP to places we haven't been to. If anima was changed around I'd be fairly upset.

Many many many people keep stating not everyone has the pleasure of being umemployed/nothing to do, and between a kid and my studies, I don't get enough time on here as it is :p I like the system the way it is, as do many others.

I see quite a few problems with Rokiens idea (as usual)

1. Anima regeneration is already not fast enough for an active player (i have 3 mules porting me to feel comfortable)
So asking for lowering everybodys anima when they die is very selfish, coming from someone who doesn't use it much cause he spends 99% of his time posting on forums instead of playing the game.

2. With Hamlet supply anima rewards bigger anima loss would only force a player to do a lot more gathering/crafting for hamlet even if he doesnt want to. Wich simply would make the game less enjoyable for those who want to do other things in game instead.

3. We all know those awkward moments when after recruiting a Full Party, everybody gathers for teleport and stands there awkwardly waiting for someone else to port. Now i have 3 mules, so i happen to have enough anima even after new content comes out and i find it disturbing that most of the players who dont have mules are forced to get to this situation where they would feel discomfort of trying to avoid using their precious anima... Forcing others to port them. Rokiens ideas would make this awkward situation occur even more often...

Long story short this idea would make the game less enjoyable for many people (most of the active players who dont have mules for anima) and only add a little bit of excitement of death for very passive players who play now and then and always have full anima.

lol.. I don't like this idea OP... that would just make me want to walk away from the game.

I had an idea. Could porting to gridania be free after completing one of the three quests. Ifrit, Garuda or moogle? It's a pain in the ass to have to ask for port when you win those fights. I think that's what annoys most people. You win it 10x in a row, that's 2-3 anima per port. I think it would be easier to implement and everyone would win.

By free, I mean, given 5-10 min of the primal death. Only in this case you could port free to gridania.

What do you Guys think?

I would rather have the option to turn in the tappers at the primal eatheryte, the one that you click on to enter the instance. So you dont have to travel to the NPC in grid each time, kinda annoying to keep doing that hundreds of times... even if tele would be free.

Hey guess what, you only have to teleport once in a full day of ifrit party/ garuda party. Teleport once getting there, set hp(because you know you can have two now right?). Return to and from: total anima spent 6.

Also with the easiness of gaining anima back now with hamlet, I don't see an anima issue anymore.

Also people, just don't say "I DON'T LIKE IT".
I have a pretty good base there, i'm pretty sure we can craft it into something cool, so next time don't say I don't like it, try to build off of it. Thanks.

I DON'T LIKE IT

I DON'T LIKE IT MORE!!!

Besides, using Anima isn't dangerous and it has nothing to do with life force. Anima is a currency now. You turn in stuff to the hamlet guy and he pays you in Anima currency.

So you can use it willy-nilly and it won't affect your life-force or anything. That's just something parents tell their children to scare them into being frugal.

how is it a penalty if it doesn't penalize you....Might as well take out death.

The world today is one big instance anyway. So when your party dies, you lose the instance and noone can raise you to save it. So you lose time and you don't get your items. Failure is your punishment.

I'm gonna go RP with a toad.

All you do is lose 5mins of time.... woooowww. Either way, why not expand on my NM idea that goes with it, instead of focusing on one part try and focus on the full picture.

Hmmm, interesting thread with responses, all of which.....well, we wont go into that, but since it is a free societyhere is my sarcastic response.


1% Perma death chance per anima point lost. Just think, at 50% you have a 50% chance to permanantly lose your toon and start over! Now thats a death penalty!

Challenging eh, makes teleporting a totally different proposition.

"What happened to blix?"

"He teleported one to many times and was lost in the great Animus void"
