[dev10??] Please allow Teleportation only at an Aetheryte

[_C-a-e-r-i-t-h_]

I am in favor of aetheryte-only teleporting if and only if other means of transportation are introduced first. Here's how it should be:

• Other means of transportation exist.
  • Airships provide city to city transportation.
  • Chocobos:
    • Extremely fast; optional: auto-pilot.
    • Rentals available at every city and aetheryte camp.
    • Optional: Players have the option of raising a chocobo to summon via chocobo whistle.
• Anima system changes:
  • Implement Aetheryte teleportation system: City <--> Camp <--> Gate, not Anywhere --> Any Camp
  • Teleport is now an Aetheryte option, not a menu option.
  • Return has 10-minute timer and lets player choose either their homepoint or the nearest Aetheryte they've been attuned to.
  • Anima removed.

Currently, there are two ways to play the game: either you have anima and stuff like airships and chocobos are useless, or you do not have anima and the game sucks so hard. That is too binary. Airships and chocobos are going to happen, so if we're going to have a teleport system at all it needs to be compatible with them and not suck.

Pretty much my thoughts, more detailed and localized, exactly. SE, implement this!

アニマの問題についても、3国間飛空艇+マウントシステムとバランスを考えて調整が必要です。
今単純に緩和してしまうと、将来的な移動バランスを崩壊させかねないと思っています。
（単純緩和だと当たり前の移動手段が揃ったときに制限がかけにくくなります。
不便へと戻すパッチはMMOではご法度ですし）問題であるとは強く認識しています。
マウントの情報が出せるまでは、今しばらくかかりますが、もう少々お待ちください。
Regarding the anima issue, it will require adjustments to and balancing to the mount system and the 3 country air ships. (making quick changes will make it harder to add restrictions later time, not good thing to do in a MMO) I understand this is a big issue.
It will be some more time but please wait a bit more regarding mount information.
