[Suggestion] City-Wide Sprint Buff

Since mounts will never be allowed in cities, I think a nice compromise would be to have an automatic permanent sprint buff applied to people entering a major city.

It can be called something like [CITY NAME] Entry Permit or Seasoned Traveler's Pass to differentiate it from Sprint even though it functions the same.

there used to be an item in game that sort of let you do that. You can no longer obtain it though, unfortunately.

There is an alternative to the Hermes Sandals which are no longer obtainable
You can get their counterpart, Strider Boots from Eureka

But they won't give you 100% sprint uptime, still

Please add this. The cities are getting bigger and bigger, and even though I like the new and complex ideas they're coming out with, those ideas are also really annoying to slowly jog through even with aetheryte crystals. Please add a toggle sprint like in pvp for cities and continue to make cities bigger and more complex with the added sprint toggle.

Yes, this is necessary, going so slow is no longer funny xD

FFXIV players learn what Peloton is challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

i use this rotation everytime i need travel in city: NIN (2 gap closer) > RPR (1 gap) > DNC (3 gap) > SCH use sprint + expedient > BLU swift cast + moon flute

usually i finish once i switch to DNC, only when i come to new city which doesn't has any aethryte attune, i need to use up to BLU

You can add smudge to this now as it gives you sprint

Honestly I don't understand why PVP sprint isn't available in cities, yeah.

The reason you don't see this is because it would make people on higher latency connections (read, not actually in Montreal, or wherever the server is) see a lot more rubber banding. They can do it with the sanctuary because it doesn't require 200 people nearby to see it. Also "speed hacking" related issues might arise.

That said, what they really need is for cities with different heights *cough*limsa*, to actually have aetherytes that bring people to the entrance of whatever is supposed to all the way around the maze of stairs. Both Radz-at-Han and Tuliyollal are very annoying to get from one place to another because the map is 2D but it's not clear when something on the map is above or below the aetheryte. So just put the Aetheryte next to whatever shop or district it is on that floor. The Crystarium and Eulmore is also very bad with this, and I'm constantly cursing about "is this above or below me" with the Crystarium.

The smaller villages this isn't that much of a problem ordinarily, especially when you can get the mount to fly and you don't have 200 people in the city at once.

That's how PVP sprint works: you toggle it on/off based on whether you want it. IS sprint would be fine too, though.

Fleet-footed it's an FC perk.

Strider Boots are a pain, having to manually equip them (whether individually or via a gearset) and then remember to switch back if you're queuing for things.

I feel like Tuliyollal absolutely needs mounts enabled – it's almost entirely outdoors besides the palace, facilities are extremely spread out, and it just feels wrong not being able to ride around there in a way I haven't felt in previous hub cities.

Meanwhile, S9 has a ready-made gimmick that would work well: the teleporter pads placed in a few locations around the city. Add those to key intersections and let it carry you along instead of having to walk the whole way or resort to the aethernet.
