Teleportation in ARR

Good evening!

I know some of you are wondering what is going to happen with your existing teleport locations when ARR is launched. We were able to gather some information and give you the latest scoop!

Aetheryte locations will be completely remapped in 2.0 and they will lose their power as a part of the transition into A Realm Reborn. As a result, aetheryte attunement will be reset systematically and you will not be able to teleport all locations at the launch of ARR.

As for why this is happening to the aetherytes?

It's is actually an interesting part of the storyline! :eek:
Look forward to it!

I don't know why I always get my hopes up when I see those magical "Click to Show" buttons on community rep posts :( Feels like they rarely contain any real info.

Hopefully I'll still have a reason to rewrite my guide, but I'm doubting it.

I sure hope you're able to update it. That was an indispensable resource for me when I was grabbing all the gates.

that's good, even people with all level 50 will still need to go visit everywhere again, it's good way to see the new world we will be living in

Oh I'll definitely be able to update it, it's just seeing the route SE is taking with this game, I don't think anyone will need it. It's a shame too, since gate hunting was so fun for me.

I hope I'm not the only one that loves how a lot of changes in this game usually have a little lore explanation to it.

Makes me want a lore library more and more.

Because it's always good to FORCE someone to do something that's 'good for them' (in YOUR opinion), right?

poor you! you will need to explore the new world on feet/chocobo/plane/boat first! sounds awful!
SE is really cruel for you!

I think they should have made option for some people to stay in 1.0 since it seems to be so great here and let people who want to explore new place going to 2.0

Very interested to see what happened to the Aetheryte Crystals. Also excited to be able to explore a new world :)

Hopefully they might think of adding an option to go to one of the in-city teleport locations from the inn/house. Sort of like they did with being able to pick a zone in XI.

The way the aetherpass is used right now is supposed to be free in 2.0.

Yeah SE, why do we have to walk everywhere? We should be able to teleport anywhere anytime without spending anima, let's make this into a lobby game!

Can't see why people wouldn't be interested in re-exploring the new world, but to each their own I guess.

That's fine and good but why not be able to choose as you leave instead of running down the hall to the closest one. It'd be a nice convenience for us.

And I also agree make everyone explore the world again.

I agree that people need to explore new areas and see new scenery. It had to be done in the current 1.0 and still people get lost! If you don't like exploring, nobody's forcing you. Just stay in you inn or don't bother to log on. :P

Yes, make them free because gods forbid SE forces us to explore the city and stuff. Though I don't agree with everything centering itself around Aetherytes. Why not a warping mage or a teleporting moogle? How about a Mono-rail or blast-cannon! Why not just "short-cuts" we discover over the course of time and magically appear in another area!?

(wishful thinking)

My question is... are we going to have to play Metal Gear Fantasy Solid again? It was fun the first time sure, but I'd prefer having to fight my way through lv50-55 mobs to get to a gate rather than wait 6 minutes for a mob to turn slightly left and run past him. Also, boars can go to hell...

And visiting isn't really to painful if you're level 50 and can kill mostly everything in the world.

Hopefully there'll be less placeholder mobs much over level 50 in the new world so it'll be easier to explore. There's really no reason for it until there's a level cap increase.

It's no big secret 1.0 was highly unfinished, so it was probably more work than it was worth to redo every area of the map when the new team came in. Once they started adding content to certain areas, that's when they made minor revisions to monster levels and such.

I think it's a good idea that we all have to explore ARR. Makes sense to do so.

My body is crying from the scars I received trying to obtain all those locations.
Although, re-discovering all the newer location makes it a leveled playing field for everyone.

What happened to the days of Final Fantasy where the world doesn't really open up to instant travel until you've reached the end? I love that. Make the grunts travel by foot/bird !
