[Just a Suggestion] Teleportation Animation

[Munba]

I think the problemi is only that the character should disappear just when the last teleport "circle-light effect" is going to fade out. But probably it's only a server problem.

Aye, I imagine it is a server problem, which is why I don't think the change should be immediate. But I think it's also important to point out the fact that the animation in itself is rather boring. If I'm about to teleport/return to distant lands, I would like it to be just a liiittle bit flashier and nicer looking. Kind of how FFXI's Tele-X and Warps had their own looks to them. Not saying to copy directly from them, but I'm sure the devs can come up with something better looking.

I have to throw out there that having the initial "Fwwwomp" before confirmation is beneficial because if multiple players in a party open their teleport windows at the same time, they have warning to pause what they're up do and decide whose doing the port before someone wastes their anima.

You do make a good point. However, at least in my experience, if they party is planning on teleporting then they usually go to the point of asking who is going to and then someone volunteers.

That sounds nice - in my parties we usually ask who's going to port, and then stand there silently, like it's a game of awkward moment chicken, until someone agrees to spend some anima. Often, this leads to two players losing the game at once, and then, post-initial-Fwooomp, they pause for Round Two to see which one of them is cancelling the window and which is giving the port.

People are f***ing goofy.

I've seen that happen a couple of times lol I guess since none of us log in enough to run out of anima we aren't as worried about using it too much.
