An aether-what?

PSexpert, it's stated specifically in the game that the teleport fees go towards repaying the reconstruction of the aetheryte network - in particular, it was a group of Ul'dah businessmen who funded it. Hence the teleport fees are indeed a tax to repay this debt. The original aetherytes didn't need this as they were apparently ancient relics of a bygone civilization (Allag Empire?) - it's the nature of the beast I'm afraid.

Also who the hell want to go back to having 100 anima and then can't teleport anymore lol. Have to use airship and boats and chocobos that for poor people. Sorry that last part is a joke but really 100 anima was such a bad idea i waste that in 1day if doing quest lol.

You know it say it right there? requires a great deal of spiritual energy, known as anima. While many individuals, such as adventurers, possess the fortitude to endure such travel, some individuals do not.

It mean we have so much anima that it does not affect us like normal npc. Pretty much in 1.0 we had a limit before we can no longer endure such travel. But now sense it 2.0 and i'm guessing our body have way more spiritual energy that we can travel as many time as we wish but we pay for it because it cost way to much to build./

So... I'm part of that individual who can't endure it anymore? Weird since I have abundance of it back in old Eorzea. lol

I do.

Funny you say that when back in that time, I have no problem managing my anima and never really ran it out. I even rarely taking airship, except boats since I enjoy watching the endless sea.

No, you're an adventurer so you now have an abundance of it compared to random NPCs. That's what the quote says: you have so much anima that you can travel by Aetheryte as much as you want and not worry about the effects it has on you.

Either that or you have the same amount of anima but traveling only costs a tiny fraction of what it did before. Ultimately the same thing.
