    I completely agree. Being able to teleport anywhere in the world defeats the point of having an open world in the first place. Through use of instant airships and chocobos, traveling to any camp currently in the game will take no more than 10 minutes TOPS, unless your going to somewhere in the middle of Mor Dhona, in which case it SHOULD take a somewhat difficult journey to make it to a high level, end game area.

    Also to those saying "well then just don't use anima": In a game where travel is done instantaneously to anywhere is the norm, when in a party or group, you will be expected to use it.

    Now, saying all of that, there is one huge, glaring problem with the abolition of instant transportation. The world is dull, lifeless, and leaves no reason or motivation to explore. Unless the entire game map is redesigned, I don't see anyone being okay with having to trek though it every day
    So you are saying that if Dodore pops, and is only up for a window of 26 minutes, I should get some people together and chocobo all the way there and kill it?

    By the time you would get there, weather would change. Think about it.

    Leave the damn anima in place, people who use it often always run out of it. The chocobo is only means of travelling in the same general area and "exploring" if you may, or simply saving anima between camps.

    You take it away, and you just add more inconveniences to the people that have a limited time to play.

    Yes, because you're going to start your journey to Mor Dhona, the second Dodore pops.

    It's called planning

    Also, if you have limited time to play, then do leves. That's what they're there for, and you don't have to go out of your way to do them. If you want to fight Dodore, you should wait until you have enough time to do so. Not everything should be dumbed down to account for that

    Which would take all of 10 minutes. Anyone else looking to journey to their party would also have to take a trip out there, unless they're already near the area, in which case why shouldn't they get the spot?

    How do you know it will take 10 minutes? You have access to a chocobo already? Also not everyone is patient and willing to wait.

    Just face it, no matter what you say, anima is here to stay

    Because walking to a camp from it's nearest city has never taken me 20 minutes, and assuming chocobos are twice as fast as walking (Which they'll probably be faster), 10 minutes is around the max travel time from a city to one of it's corresponding camps

    Dude, you need to drop this whole idea of removing anima, it's the second time i see you posting on this. Just stop using anima if you don't like it.

    I don't agree with you that it will promote exploration. The only thing that it will promote is repetition and wasting time running with a chocobo when I could have teleported there instantly.

    Like I said earlier, those people that like to explore will do it with or without anima. Don't ruin this for others like me that appreciate fast means of travel because we actually have a life and play this as a HOBBY.
    I don't play this game as much as alot of other people, usually only on weekends. Looking at your profile I notice you have ranked up much more than I have in a shorter amount of time, which I suppose means I have more of a life? Yet I want anima gone.
    I think with alot of you people it's less about having a life and more about you all not wanting to get slowed down in your mad dash to get every class ranked up as fast as possible.
