Please Abolish Anima!

[Rousseau]

My own suggestion is to make fewer aetherite points, but either get rid of anima entirely, or make it regenerate much faster (right now, quests require a lot of traveling through repetitive terrain, so everyone uses anima...yet it is possible to run out VERY quickly). Teleportation, in and of itself, isn't the issue. It only severely cheapens the experience when there are way too many places you teleport to. As long as players are still required to do some traveling in order to get to their final destination, I see no problem with it.

It also might help to put in some sort of on-rails transit system that isn't instant, but is faster than chocobo and still allows the player to enjoy the environment. Flight paths, for example.

Moderation is key. It doesn't have to be all one or all the other.

Currently not possible due to the landscapes design. But they will change the maps anyway so this might be a good idea even if just for the more advanced city-states.

Oh, I know it wouldn't work right now, but it is something they could consider for 2.0, which is what I meant. ^^;

Oh, also, allowing mounts to be used within cities would be super helpful, and perhaps remove the need for the new intra-city teleportation system (I am already assuming this is temporary). I have no idea how they plan to handle the cities in 2.0, though.
