so, I've done the storyline quests up to level 26, and one thing has REALLY been bugging me:
the storyline keeps sending me to vesper bay, but there's no aetherite there so we cant fast travel to it. sure we can port to horizon and ride from there, but you've got outposts with aetherites in the ass-end of nowhere, why neglect to put an aetherite in a MAJOR quest hub?
It would make things too easy. We can't have that now can we?
It takes like 30 seconds to Choco there from Horizen. Why do we need to make the world feel smaller with more crystals? If you moved the crystal to Vesper then it would make it more difficult to access the rest of the zone.
Teleport to limza > ethernet ACN guild > ship to Vesper Bay, thats how I do it.
I've just set my return to Ul'dah and take the Chocobo porter from there to Vesper Bay. Gives me a central spot to go in and out of for the time being.
I like riding there on my mount. Have you ever passed through the gate as the sun is rising? It looks beautiful. Also really like travelling through the water area where Bubbly Bernie spawns, it's always very busy with adventurers. Also, it's part of the storyline, it's supposed to be a hidden area where the resistance take refuge.
I too like to travel on the back of my Chocobo. The only time I would use money for traveling, would be to pay for the airship or ferry fare. I've been stupid enough to travel from the south shroud to Gridania, so that I could take the airship to ul'dah and walk to vesper bay from there. It would've been faster to walk directly to vesper bay from the south shroud (through east and west thanalan)
