2.0 Abolition of Anima?

[Haibel]

Thanks for telling me something I didn't know about myself.

Assuming people that want to remove the anima system can't manage it, and implying their stupidity is pretty presumptuous on your part.

So, thanks for that. So helpful.

If they added a 1shot-kill skill to the game, would you advocate for: "if you don't want to 1shot monster, you can kill things the normal way"? Because the anima debate is the same thing. Its easymode laziness on developers part that had become a staple of the game now. Saying "People can run if they dont like anima" isn't furthering the discussion.

The anima system was just a developers shortcut for adding REAL transportation methods. Now people are too attached to their easymode to let it go. Is the short of the story.

Once real transportation methods are implemented, Anima needs to go.

After reading this thread,
I hope they remove it from 2.0 or at least change it to node-to-node teleport.

It seem to ignore the obvious that it was planned to be in the game from the beginning.
you just don't want to admit your fighting a losing battle. Encase you just want to ignore the
first person that posted this. This verbiage has been on the FFXIV site for 2 years.

Though the exact mechanism behind teleportation via aetheryte is still largely a mystery, one theory states that when a sentient being approaches one of the portals, the aether that makes up its body resonates with the aether of the crystals, which in turn results in a complete breakdown of the being's mass, allowing it to temporarily return to the invisible aetheric streams that course throughout the planet. The being's soul, which cannot be broken down, then guides the particles to a pre—determined destination, and upon arrival, the corresponding aetheryte receptacle reconfigures the mist back into its original form. This whole process takes only a matter of moments, allowing for nearly instant transportation to faraway destinations.

However, being broken down to the aetheric level can take its toll on one's body, and rest is often required after several consecutive jumps, especially as the distance becomes greater. As a precaution, most city—states strongly discourage over—teleporting, as it can lead to irreversible damage...

Anime has always been intended to be in this game. It's not going away, Deal with it.
