With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

in FFXI could you actually control where the bird went? or was it just you pay for it, fades to black and you find yourself at your destination?

You guys know how you can ask another person to duel in WoW?

Would it not be awesome if you could do the same thing in FFXIV, but with chocobo racing?

Pull up to a certain spot, catch someone on the other side, then start racing?

To be honest, removing aethertye teleport just to turn it into a spell sounds a little hypocritical to me. "Make it so only mage classes can do it so I can make MONEY off of it." And if you are going to turn around and give me "Well, the wonderful part of FFXIV is that everyone can level a mage class so we can all get teleports!" Then what is the point at all from removing the original system?

I agree that just because you don't like a certain system doesn't mean you should force everyone to not use it as well. The current teleport system fits in with the lore of the game. If you don't like it, don't use it.

i hate running, but thats what transportion is for. i didnt like fast travel in oblivion or fallout3 either

Then don't use it.

Nobody is holding a gun to your head to use teleports. If there are alternate forms of transportation some day, you're free to use those instead of Anima to teleport, nobody is stopping you.

Already been said, and already been argued against, and this topic should have ended ages ago when we all pretty much agreed that there is no point in talking about it until the patch where they add more transport options.

all the teleportation didn't ruin chocobo in ffxi. And honestly how would these be worthless? You guys are getting idiotic with this argeument. The fact people WANT to get ride of a teleport is laughable. Since ffxi has so meny.
No one here is seeing the bigger picture. First off chocobos will probably only be 10-30% more then our running speed. Airships will take time to use. Prob about 5 min. Now time for the bigger picture. Once the leve "nerf"/ fix is in place i bet players will find camps/roam parties more.

You want the fastest travel to not make your party wait, and to get the most of the grouping. Due to the new leve rules and rewarding, people will not be in Ul'dah all the time. And if you are starting a party in ul'dah people will need a fast way of getting there.

You guys are also putting you pessimisic pov on others, which is rude and wrong. Do not get on SE for how ppl choose to play. And do not force people to play like you. Do not cry for the removal of a fast travel option over sillyness

Remember ffxi only started with chocobo and those teleports crags. Then people had issues reaching parties in a decent time so SE came out with out post warping. Which cost gil to do. These helped with travel getting to your place faster. Like a party camp, quest location etc. The sence of adventure doesn't have to come from traveling on foot/by choco to an out of way location, nor does most ppl have the time to do that type of travel.

I highly suggest that those who want the removal of teleporting to camp. Go play final fantasy 11 and only use chocobo or airships to get to your parties. Find out what happens

Anbd for the person who asked about choco in 11. It is player controled. You had roughtly 1-3 hours with it. That is going fron any home nation to jeuno taking the long way. Never using zone short cuts.

also the tidal ingame item in ff11 does have a norg warp.

I also suggest people understand a tedious game isn't a fun game. And what you "hardcores" keep asking is for a tedious annoyence.

Again, already been said, and people are saying to limit the teleportation rather than remove it, to make way for some alternative transports (no point adding alternative transport if you can teleport anywhere you like, an ability no one even earned in this game). I'm just recapping what has already been discussed.

People need to read through the whole thread otherwise we're going to be stuck on repeat >.<
