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.

Anima is fine. I enjoy a limitation to teleport. FOr the love of god we get free mounts.

Thanks OP for another useless thread on the same topic. Nothing says official forums like a 5286th on the exact same subject.

I'd like to see them do something with the GC for each area with regards to transportation. I always though it would be a neat idea to possibly give a reduced anima rate for within your chosen area. Maybe half the cost of your area or something like that or if your in the area teleporting to the main city is free.

I just find right now having a GC has very limited advantages or at least nothing that makes your decision much different besides the area. I'd also think it would be neat if taking the airship from your chosen city would be free going out from your city but cost money coming in or from other areas.

I'd also be open to the idea of being able to buy more anima and since it takes a toll on the body maybe incorporate it into the inns and you can stay in a different room that cost more but regens some anima for a fee. I think your right that most casual players won't burn through it but alot of the end game players between the Moogles and Ifirit really can use alot fast and recently it's been kind of a pain trying to get everyone gathered between the two which can result in very long travel times.

After playing the game since launch is abit tiresome running through these areas. I think something does need to be done with the anima especially for those in several LS doing alot of these events.

No thank you.

[Thanks for the offer, but I will have to pass]
