Wouldn't mind limiting teleports again by the use of the anima currency (or whatever it was called in 1.0)
In exchange they should link the chocobo porters better, it's annoying that I have to switch two or three times to get anywhere.

But I don't really see what would be gained from forcing everybody to ride everywhere.
I explored every zone in depth when I quested there, I explored them again while hunting atmas, again when I go and gather mats, again when I do hunts.
For my part I must say that I explore more than enough, what would I gain by riding along the same roads again and again to get from settlement A to settlement B?
- Roads are usually safe, no monsters around and most wouldn't attack a lvl 50 char anyway.
- Chatting while riding? Nope
- Immersion? Yes, the loading screens between zones are so realistic... (sarcasmn)
