Chocobos, Teleportation, Airships, and your feet. A Travel Thread

[Malakhim]

They can also make you actually be by a node or aetheryte and you can teleport only when by them.

Honestly it would even make more sense given the lore that this would be the case. You actually have to travel to an aetheryte crystal or gate to actually make use of it, as opposed to randomly being able to teleport from wherever.

We're trying to get the dev. team to discuss what they've got planned in regards to transportation as things go forward. Hang tight, everyone!

Hmm, I wonder what they have planned. What do you guys think? There are some interesting comments we've been reading, so feel free to toss out more ideas!

Airships seem a bit tough to add unless they redo cities to give them a port, however Chocobos should come soon since most races seem to have the animations done for riding chocobos.

[Sinzfeldt]

There already are ports in the cities?

I like walking.

There are? Only port I'm aware of is the one at LL, but that's for the ferry.

For chocobos, I'm really, really hoping that we see a full fledged chocobo raising system (though I wouldn't be opposed to catching and taming). I just want it to be more involved than going to a farm and purchasing a bird.

I wish the world were open instead of zoned. Being able to have your company build a private airship would be amazing. Since that's not really feasible, we'll need to see how SE decides to implement it. Given the various airship docks that can be found throughout the game world, I'm hoping that inter-zone travel will be done in real-time rather than a simple fade-to-black.

Gridania: Leve counter, go down the stairs ports there.
Uldah: There is some large bridge sticking out a tower in the buildings.
Limsa: Not sure where that one is.

[Corrderio]

I'll have to take a look at that when I get back on.

Very glad to see you (and the other forum staff members) are checking all the topics for interesting ideas, Rukkirii This absolutely incentives people to post more and more ideas around!

Btw, i think airships could need only for the new areas or to reach some particular locations in the middle of the lands (like the little docks we can see in the three main fields). Maybe with 'little' airships in that case. And a big one to reach Ishagard. They will probably add airships also between the main actual cities but many people will continue to use Anima to reach them indeed. When you are on the airship, it would be nice some flying creatures attack it (a dragon! eheh).

Own chocobo is easier to add because it can be used in every way possibile through all the territory. And hope to see customizations and abilities (like a choco-jump to reach high places ) for it as well. But also they could add chocobo caravans (with fee) between some villages with fixed routes. Randomly these caravans could be attacked by bandits or evil beast tribes.

And hope to see other ferry routes as well (with new areas in the future).
