Gil cost for Teleport - Throwing money up in the air while casting?

[RaphaelDDL]

Wait, so your complaint was basically, this doesn't make sense (which is really a lore issue), but you didn't read the text that explained the lore of the game... So your opinion on this subject was negated in its entirity. It really bothers me when someone complains about lore, or lack of, but doesn't take the time to actually read all the NPC, quest, dungeon, leve, etc. dialog that the game provides.

Lore or not, still does not make sense money disappearing out of nowhere. But it's a bit more acceptable if the game tries to explain, even if that does not make sense. Why? Because you see that they at least try explain hahah

Stop nit-picking on a game that is based on fantasy.. D:

Regards it disappearing out of nowhere. Well, you can only do so much for the game's lore before you start having a severe impact on gameplay. Imagine every time you used your teleport you got halted for a moment to stop and pay the toll, worse in case you don't have the required money that you're forced back to your return point.
Unfortunately this is a point where a bit of immersion had to be sacrificed for a smoother gameplay

Well, if you notice, they do that with airships, but in a LOT worse manner:
You pay > loading > go to the other side to board > loading > animation of airship leaving > loading > animation of airship arriving > loading > get out of the place > loading > arrived at city.

That's why I only use teleport, it's a pain to have all this useless loadings.(It's just like Waking Sands, why two damn loadings to arrive Minfilia's office.)

See, that's part of the reason why the airships are cheaper than teleports, same with chocoporters.
They are bothersome AND takes times. We already have the time-consuming, cheaper travel methods, and teleporting is the fast and costly one

I actually use chocoporter if travel is 1~2min (good time to go bathroom, stretch, etc).
Airship would be nice if didn't had so many loadings, my pc is 4years old, loadings take time xD


Well, I don't feel teleport as expensive (only if compare with choco/airship). Max it cost me was 200 and something. lv50 is so much more expensive?

I did like sometimes how 1.0 did it, instead of it costing gil it cost a resource (anima i believe) that would regenerate slowly. It had its issues, but the gil costs of some are just way too much to make sense.

I liked anima a lot too. Thought it made a lot of sense. I also remember the *constant* whining on the forums, "Please just charge us gil to teleport! It'll be so much more friendly for the people who don't have a lot of time to play the game!" (which made absolutely no sense; since anima accumulated whether you were playing or not, it was inherently favorable to people who couldn't get a lot of play time in--which was one of the things I liked most about it) Well, folks, you got it. Enjoy.

I'm only level 39 and I'm already seeing teleports in the 500 range depending on how far I want to go. That's not terrible, but it adds up, especially when Minfillia only ever uses the linkpearl she gave you to tell you to come see her face to face so she can send you somewhere that was closer before you went to see her.

ahahahah totally that.
I got so happy when I saw her getting kidnapped. Too bad I have to save her =/

Because it's the main quest hub after level 20 so they break up into two zones to avoid zone overloading problem.
