An idea for anima!

This thread might go horribly bad.

You know how many people think anima should be abolished once 2.0 in order to force other means of transport and to make the living breathing world more realistic? (I'm with this people, by the way)

Both Teleporting and Returning take their toll on your character's body, requiring a special form of energy known as "anima." The body, however, can only store up to 100 units of anima, and requires rest to regenerate each unit used. Eorzean scientists have yet to discover a safe, quick way to restore anima, and so it is highly recommended that you teleport wisely.

Okay, so I was thinking. Sometimes you just don't have time to travel around, or you're in a hurry, or you're just a casual player who can't do with traveling as it was done on XI. So how about a stats bonus for those who have 100 anima? Or an increasing stats penalty for those who use anima so to show the toll that's being taken out on the body?

This would limit the use of anima and encourage other means of transportation.

Running low on anima discourages you from using more anima.

Don't really think it's necessary, anima is very well-balanced right now.

No, it doesn't. That's like saying running low on HP discourages you from dying. What discourages you from dying is the walk back and equipment damage. If at all. I'd have the EXP loss implemented any day.

If you don't have time to run around, chances are won't have enough time to play and thus you will rarely run out of anima.

Either that or you are just lazy, don't bring this casual crap.

Running low on HP discourages you from losing more HP so you don't die. And I have to agree with Answa, I stop using Anima when I start to run low so it can recharge.

Terrible analogy. Read Masamune1004's response.

I might be gay for that!~ If the stats are super dramatic!~

No.

Somehow I doubt a casual gamer would play frequently enough where running out of anima would be a legitimate concern, making the whole argument irrelevant.
