With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

If you only play with your friends anyway, why does it matter if you quit the game before I do?

You are not playing with me anyway.

And when SE adds new content, you and your friends will come back and enjoy it together, not playing with me and my anima.

dude, are you simple? its not like i have a static party with the same 5 freaking people. all my friends could finish this game way before (which is what usually happens anyway) stop picking one small thing out of every example i give and asking such simple questions, its more broad then just me. ITS NOT THAT SIMPLE. please scroll up and read Raikki's post and PLEASE dont find one sentence and change her entire post around.

It's been almost a year. I'm pretty sure "anima" isn't the reason people starting dropping out of the game long before then.

Think about the future o bearded one.

It is that simple - players who have alot of time to play are going to get more done faster then players who do not have alot of time to play.

That is why anima is in the game - to allow players who do not have alot of time to play to try and keep up with players who do have alot of time to play.

Removing or restricting the anima will do one thing and one thing only - ensure that the players who do not have alot of time to play will no longer be able to play but only travel for the majority of their game time.

Period.

It IS that simple.

If you cant even spend 5 min walking to a camp, MMO is out of the question.
Teleport = Long distance ONLY!

+ these maps arn't big, its all exaggerated in scale, heck i think west sarutabaruta was bigger than entire thanalan, if u look at the speed ur character moves on you map you would be shocked, i think it takes 12-15 mins to go from onside on Thanalan(west where the ferry are at) to the other(east where the Black Shroud Zone), and thats without using DoLs "Quick" which is obtained at level 5 i believe, and of course Quickstride, short duration but still quick.

5mins for the starter areas, sure.

It takes exactly 15mins to run from Limsa Leve counter to Skull Valley.

When I have only an hour to play (as I do most times - if Im lucky its 2 hours), that is 15 mins TO the camp, 30mins to do the leves at that ONE camp, and 15mins to walk back to Limsa.

No going to another camp, no helping out a Linkshell mate, no crafting any of the mats I collected, my play time is done.

Because I spent HALF (more if you count running around for battle/gathering leves) of it traveling.

Trolling this thread on a puppet account for 2 days more or less proves you have time to run to Grid. Anima needs to be replaced with actual MMO transportation, infinite instareturn for 0 anima is already more than you're going to find in pretty much any game and any "casual" or "hardcore" player should have the "skill" to make that save them plenty of time.

There it is exactly, "players who have a lot of time to play", do you think we are all like you? I bet more then 80% of what the population should be has more then 2 hours to play, whatever you have. "going to get more done faster" this is what im afraid of with the current anima system, get it done fast and then quitting. Please read Raikki's post, we aren't asking for it to be completely removed (the OP is but not all of us), we are simply asking for it to be more realistic for many reasons.

Anima needs to be replaced

No it doesn't.

You just need to go walk when you want to and stop trying to force everyone to walk just because you want to walk.

[Crica]

I bet more then 80% of what the population should be has more then 2 hours to play.

Bet all you want, until you have proof, it doesn't matter what you think the "majority" are, what matters is if the devs KNOW what it is and whose money they want.

If they want money from players who have little time to play, then they will continue to add more options for us in the game.

lol quoting 5 words out of my sentence, failtroll fails, don't pass go. Come back when you aren't all cool and anonymous and someone might take you seriously
