alternatives.

First I'd like to point out that airships will likely be to all the main cities. Secondly, they're probably add chocobos in all 3 cities (atleast) maybe even at every crystal.

thirdly, you still have the ferry which they need to make a little more fun :P

Third, all this is useless due to Anima. Now hold on! I know anima goes down faster than it goes up. Ya know what I think, when you do leves to get class points (pugilist points 1203 for example). It is a form of currency which you need to work for. Oh no! You dont have time to do leves to get your points to get your class abilities! You aren't going to get given the points for free, so why should you get Anima for free?

I suggest Anima points become a currency which you work for. Not only that! I also suggest you start off with a maximum of 30 anima (or something low like that) and you have to do quests to get it raised by 20 per quest. Think FFXI gobbie bag.

So this way, you start off the game, 30 anima max to start, you quest to raise your maximum anima amount from 30 to 50, then to 70, then to 90, then maybe a tough quest to get to 100.

Not only that, but your anima wont go up automatically like it does now, instead, you get the points from doing levequests!

This will make all means of transport viable. When you dont have any anima, take another means of transport. Dont like it? Dont feel awesome enough because you cant teleport everywhere like a god? Go quest for more. You will get exp at the same time, why not?
