2.0 Abolition of Anima?

[ChefKiyo]

Everything but free teleports actually sounds like a fair balance. I agree with posts above though. This world is not glorified enough for people to want to travel through it. When 2.0 comes out it better though!

i wouldn't be opposed to there being a type of water park where you can wear your bathing suit and take water slides to the different zones for transportation.I think this is a fair compromise.

I really think this needs its own thread.

actually, i do personally think that the idea you can teleport anytime anywhere with a anima that gives allowance of 6 every 24 hrs is bad. To some its good, but to new players ( casual players i hope ) is bad. i still remember helping members is my old linkshell

member B " can someone please help member C, ill be back later. he has been stuck for 3 days now "

me " /tell member C, hey so whatsup? you need help doing Grand company quest? "

member C " yeah "

me " okay, so what does the journal tells you to do"

member C "tells me to go to camp tranquill, "

me " okay, lets teleport there then, ill fight the monsters for you "

Member C " thats the problem. i dont have anima and i dont wana run"

me "inside my head ( ANGER, REMORSE, CONFUSION, WTH~~!!!!! ) okay. follow me we will run there, you can auto follow me if you want, just make sure your always on auto follow >.> "

Member C " . . . . ."

soo yeah... if new players get spoiled with the ANIMA thats already 100! at the beginning, they will just get too spoiled and get lazy to run around. Hell i walked alot since the lunch date, i even do locals every reset and i never teleported cause i save my anima when i host Leve Link Parties ( because most of the time random participants doesnt have anima either )

in the end, i do like the ideas DocMog presented in the very first post. other option is the Anima Teleportation is unlocked through a quest like the Chocobo Liscence.

I don't think Anima was supposed to be the only means of fast travel. If you explore around there were airship stations scattered around the world. But probably got scrapped with the new team.

In ver 2.0 I'd like to see Anima used only to travel from Crystal to Nodes (if they still exist)

Umm a few things...

1) You could have teleported him yourself by forming a party

2) If you didnt have anima, tell him to hop on an airship. My entire GC quests involved lots of airship tickets and chocobo rentals

3) Walking anywhere takes a very long time, especially without a chocobo. It is absurd to expect everyone to spend 15-20 mins just *getting* to a quest npc. If anima didnt exist, im willing to bet a lot of ppl wouldnt bother. Mounts make it doable, but before mounts its just awful. The game requires you to travel a lot, and yet travel takes a ridiculous amount of time for no reason.

4) As ive said a billion times, anima runs out. People learn to walk eventually. Think of anima as training wheels on a bicycle. If they dont wanna walk after they run out of anima, they wouldnt have wanted to if anima was never there in the first place.

5) Generally walking anywhere right now is a waste of time. There's nothing out there worth seeing (except coerthas or mor dhona). I can't knock people that love to walk, but i can say that you seriously can't expect that out of everyone. People have things to do with their life, some of them (if not most) working.


And someone has *yet* to explain to me how WHM teleports are any better than anima. I'm starting to get the sense that anima haters just hate the fact that it runs out. Lets drop the pretext of "more immersion" and get to the heart of the issue here.

Being a new player I enjoy the Anima system, however trying to get around super fast was difficult and overwhelming At First. I kinda thought it would be nice if when you complete a Quest it would give you +1 to your Anima pool (or whatever number in relevance to the challenge of the quest.).

maaan people are lazy and want to put no effort into anything.

Translated from Rokien to English: People would rather play the game than run through a barren wasteland.
