Secondly, and specifically in FFXIV's case, could you imagine the amount of anima that would cost o_O. I just don't think it would work with FFXIV and it wouldn't fit into the game's type of environment, although I see the point you made.
oh what i actually meant by crystal to crystal was that you need to get into the aetherite stream at a crystal, there you could still choose your destination, then it would at least feel like a closed teleportation network with some sense behind it instead of "the whole continent is oozing aetherite i can hop in no matter where"
