the econamy, there are very few gil sinks in place atm which means players are getting super rich with no anima limit there will be very little reason to pay for airship (and wiat for it to leave the dock) or to rent a chocobo (and ride to w/e). i haven't dedicated a lot of time to making gil but i have more gil then i can spend and any i do spend mostly goes to other players. i know the cost of these are not gonna be a huge gil sink but it'll still help and is a step in the right direction.

last time a checked there was an anima limit

gil sink=crafting.

But you're not forced to use anima. You can use airships and Chocobo's. Worry about yourself and what your 'immersion' : )

Much more enjoyable than an instant teleport if you ask me, because the best part of any MMO is exploring the world.

Exploring the world is great and I love doing that. But tell me, how many times running/chocobo to Camp Bluefog to hand in one Goldsmith leve you think you can do before you say "F*** this, I wish i had anima!"? What is the joy in repetition?

1.
to traverse or range over (a region, area, etc.) for the purpose of discovery: to explore the island.




so its safe to say after you cover an area and realize there is nothing there you are no longer exploring and just traveling

I need anima.
You can make your friends wait for you in Coerthas while, you ride your choco and airship from lominsa to where they are.
In the mean time, I can be instantly there to help mine.

Animas shouldn't get removed! Is it breaking your immersion? Then don't use them but why should I (or anyone else for that matter) be penalized because of your own problem with immersion? If this games want to catter to a lot of subscribers, it needs options for everyone!

The purpose of this game is to make to company some money and how to do that? Maximising the number of users. I for one loved FFXI for ALL the cut scenes that were waiting at many corners but definitely not for the absurd time-sink that game had.

Finally, for this game to be better than WOW in terms of subscriptions, it needs to follow it's own path and neither FFXI or WOW's paths. We should think in terms of new and not what we could implement from those two references but what HAS NOT be done in any MMORPG that would settle FFXIV as unique while cattering to all sorts of gameplay. Casual or hardcore wants the same thing in the end: Play the best MMORPG ever!

Conclusion: Leave animas and focus on more important thing: what type of content would rule all the other MMORPG out there based on being accessible to EVERYONE

"hey yoshi, the players want us to get rid of anima..."
"Ok lets get rid of it then."
------FF14 update-------
"Hey yoshi, now the forums are exploding with people pissed about having to ride chocobos everywhere and it takes to long. Now they want airships to take them to all the camps.."
"Damn it Tanaka... you spoiled them!!"

All i know is that Anima is the modern day "outpost warp" that was exact same system in FFXI. After you reach endgame and have truly been through all the areas, you really get sick and tired of traveling. It's NOT fun racing to your destination as people wait on you for an event or party when at that point the last thing you care about is immersion.

This is how I feel and i'm sure many agree.

to quote responses in the post I made about the same subject ...................."..NO" ahaha [SIZE="6"]YES[/SIZE]

What the OP is trying to say:

"I want to walk everywhere.. It's not right there should be other options for anyone else. Remove all other options, burn all the books, all must be done my way."
