[dev 1082] Mounts and fast travel

Anima recharges at 1 point per 4 hours and right now that's the only way to cover great distances.

Apparently that needs to change, are we all on the same page here? It is not adequate because you spend it too fast or it doesn't regen fast enough. It's not fun to be stuck without anima. And what happens when a game's not fun? Yea...

I love teleport. I could see it on a 36 hour times which regens it to max. Or you could explore the use on anima. Determine why people run out so much and address the cause. Or you could rent chocobos as in FF11. How hard could it be to salvage the code for it? Solutions by the handfull pick one.

I'm going to be blunt here. I think americans are just as smart as asian people but our opinion is depreciated compared to theirs. This attitude is not practical in the face of the challenges ahead. Either we face them together or we all fail divided.

Anyway that's my 2 cents on it. Please follow this up with your own opinion. There needs to be a dialog about this.

Chocobos will most likely be implemented in 1.19. It has been announced that they will come rather soon. As for Anima, if you have to comment on it, please refer to one of the other 100 threads.

They may add Chocobos into the upcoming release but we don't know if it ll be affordable for all players. If it ends being something that ll cost you tons of gils and only be used by high rank players then it won't be a good answer to the travel issue.

nobody know if chocobo is rent like ffxi or we could have own choco and we could equip them

There's a guy in most cities with the chocobo already with the sign on the map. It's only a matter of time before they introduce it. The sooner the better imho. This is nothing but candy and everyone will love the team for it.

I think the "original design" was left at the door when they changed the director. But if they do not set up a clear strategy for the work they want done with updates, they'll end up all over the place doing every want of the players just like that other game. There needs to be a plan for the game.

I'm excited for the patch's "return bind" and i hope that solves half of my long range transport problems. I think that is an example of sound jugement. I just think there needs to be a tutorial or a knowledge base about those things. Something like: "Anima is precious and you should use return instead. Here's how (...)".

Just my 2 cents. What do you think?
