I like the anima system and all but could we please get a fast rate?
I don't know about you all but I miss out on a lot of exp, Ls functions, ect because I run out of anima so fast.
I use the airship all the time but it can't get me to the far off places that I need to go most of the time and most party will not wait if it's going to take you 30 or 45 min to get to them.
It might just be me that has this problem I don't know.
More anima

Use a Chocobo, ship, or airship. Stop wasting your anima.

You must have over looked the part where I said I use a airship all the time. Also I use the chocobo all the time. I don't wast anima at all but I do use it to get to far off areas that would take a good amount of time to get to with out getting killed.

Where do you exp? The middle of Mor Dhona?
You can chocobo anywhere in the game in 15 minutes from its nearest town. -
12-22-2011, 05:01 PMZeroeffectYour out of your mind if you believe you can get everywhere in the game in 15 min by chocobo.Quote:

Sort of on topic... I honestly don't like the idea behind anima at all and would be happy to see it go. As mentioned, there are many other efficient modes of transport available that don't totally kill the sense of immersion. Once 2.0 comes out I think the world will be a lot more interesting to look at; all the more reason to make people travel via bird rather than just skip past detailed, interesting zones.

Anima is fine the way it is. All you have to do is learn how to save it.
1. choco if the camp is in same area as you are, you can get to every camp in 10-15mins.
2. Take airship if its in another area and do step 1.
3. only use anima if you are in a real big hurry or have little time.
4. set these 3 As your favorites (Horizon,Iron Lake, Dragonhead) these are the most popular camps to lvl at and you only need to use 2-3 anima instead of 4-6.
there are only 3 camps ppl go to for party. Horizon (10-20) Cactuars > Horizon/Wells (20-30)Mites > Horizon/Copperbell (30-36) > Iron lake (32-45) > Dragonhead (45-50)
Reason why most people run out of Anima is due to laziness. Stop spending anima teleporting to cities/camps in same zone. If you seriously can't spend 5-10mins to run to places? Then you most likely shouldn't be playing a MMO. -

They need to make it a spell, end of story.

Faster anima? No.
I'd rather have they actually reduce anima regeneration and introduce anima potions bought with Company seals. -
12-22-2011, 09:24 PMCricaAs soon as there are more ways to get the seals, I support this idea.Quote:

12-22-2011, 09:42 PMXooThen get on the "DOWN WITH ANIMA, UP WITH ALTERNATIVES" bandwagon!Quote:

12-22-2011, 09:45 PMCricaAs long as the game is fun, no problem. Grinding the same leve over and over to accumulate points to buy potions? Not fun. Add variety, as I already stated, and I would support the idea.Quote:

12-22-2011, 09:50 PMXooThen I guess I need to get out of MMO's. If I want to do something and I know where to go and what to do, I'll actively start parties, handle teleports (anima management), spam all of my Linkshells with recruit messages, shout in town, send multiple tells to people on my friend list, etc. All on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times. Someone's gotta do it, and no it's never fun, especially with dwindling server populations.Quote:

I think we've established some good facts here.
1. Anima regen rates suck.
2. 15 minutes on a Chocobo to get somewhere sucks.
3. Existing methods to get company seals really sucks.
4. Having no teleport spell sucks.
5. Spending seals to get anima would suck @ss.
6. MMOs that aren't fun suck.
Where am I going with this? I don't know, but I'm super glad SE decided to start charging us in January!! :D -
