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

[Malakhim]

I personally think that as others have mentioned, the best way to handle anima would be to only allow teleportation by having to physically travel to a node, maybe pay a higher anima cost, and you're there. Perhaps disallowing teleportation from gates, being that they're only "streams of aether" as opposed to solidified aetheryte crystals.

For balancing issues, just reduce the anima regen rate and if they introduce a way to "buy" anima back, make it somewhat expensive.

There's no reason to outright remove it. If people want to get shit done, give them options for doing it. I know I'm sure as hell gonna be chocoboing it around the countryside anyway, but if my LS is like "brosef, we need you right nao", I wanna make sure I can respond to the call.

Mor'Dhona and Coerthas doesnt have a city, they are zones with mobs that has red stars all over them and they are way bigger than starter zone.

Then what about Ishgard? And what about the destroyed city they mention at Brittlebark in Mor Dhona?

That city they mention Sharlayan, which is in Dravania.

Although yes, Ishgard is in Coerthas, and eventually both of these places are going to be opened.

I'd love to see more emphasis on traveling but with 4 copy paste zones you can forget about it. There needs to be something worth seeing before traveling gets more options.

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.

Who knows? It might actually already be in the game. For example, the areas that are closed off in each city...those could be an indicator that an airship port is right on the other side. Also, I think Gridania already has one. The stairway that leads downward on the side at the Adventurer's Guild. Of course, I can be wrong though.

Have you even gone to all the gates that aren't camps? Have you seen all there is to see in these 4 "copy paste" zones? The game actually has some pretty nice little areas tucked away but they're off the beaten path so hardly anyone ever goes to them.

How dare you insinuate that people should get off their asses and go look around instead of having everything force fed to them?

Next thing you'll be suggesting is that we have to walk to our fridge to get food in the morning.

=p Agreed with these. All I did when I started this game was explore all over the land. It took a lot of time and it was hard at my low levels but I remember my first time in Mor Dhona... the exhilaration was unrivaled. lol

Anima does have lore to it. they can't just get rid of it.

To be honest guys it seen to easy and unreal using the Anima system... Like think about it, everyone have the previlige to just go everywhere they choose? it sound so easy, it should be in a way where you have to own that privilege... what i mean is have the mages to learn teleports magics... it will help then earn a lil extra money or not even sheesss i would teleport for free lol just to meet new ppl. Another way is in each city or crystals have a npc teleport you for a lil cash ofcourse. Give a special quest for you to open the use of airship and chocobo guys. I mean c'mmon we love a chalange and a reason to even be more addicted to ffxiv. Overall guys dont give us those privileges for free... make us earn then plz and give us teleports skills or spells to our mages job so it would make it more fun
