Anima abolishment ~ Thoughts?

[Kirito]

Some people don't have forever and a day to wander the landscapes while trying to link up with a party for a dungeon run. Geez. I don't see why people are so opposed to more options that have little to no effect on their game experience.

I think you're exaggerating a bit... we have free teleports at the center of each map so it won't be that long of a run... free return to an inn in our town where we can switch towns if we are interested in going to a city... and have the ability to regen anima over time or earn them on hamlet if we absolutely must teleport ...

[Chardrizard]

Thats only a problem if you are low on anima... But if you are a casual player you wouldn't be low on anima since it regens and if you aren't a casual player you should be doing hamlets so you wouldn't have to worry about being low on anima...

Why cant i just make mmoney with mutiple funways to pay for my teleport instead of limitting me to do hamlet to replenish anima? Why cant you just make money to pay for the teleports, not fun now iit is when i start dictating what others should do?

All of what you said, is the main reason I don't want Anima! Now if they were to Balance it, I don't really have an issue with Anima then. but I would much rather have Spells/ NPC by gil Teleporting.

I can earn 100 anima in one shot of hamlet... from what I remember it isn't as easy to make money on ff14... I get what you're saying and if there are easier way to make large sums of money then I won't might gil spent transport...

wait why? In all those cases it requires a bit more work that just teleporting to each area for free... and in the first two we maintain the ability to sight see...

Better alternative for sight seeing and world exploration.

When Speaking in Teleportation, when something is Free and Accessible... every other form of Transportation becomes " Why would I do something longer, when Teleporting gets me there in 2 secs?" I do love how Convenient it is.. but I also hate it at the same time, because it takes away from the game, and makes those other forms of Transportations like they aren't even there. Just tell SE not to put Airships ( like what happen with 1.0) and Ferries and just Tele.

A Game that just gets you to something Instantly, is like being in an Instanced world.

Out of them all I think the vista is the best... because of the puzzle aspect... but this really only gets people to sight see when they want to... there won't be any stop what you're doing and "wow that amazing" moments...

But let us not forget that all of those free areas were high level and you won't be to do hamlet unless you're lvl 45+ (maybe unless you are doh) that is one of the reasons I preferred anima over gil teleportation but if they make it so I can easily make money I won't mind gil teleportation...

Yes vistas are deinitely great, in the end of the puzzle, vista lets you into replayable cinematic thats gives you overview of the area from bird point of view.

We should probably just stop the argument here and let yoshida do what he feels is right with the game... We all care about the game and want to make sure it remains the quality it deserves to be... but in the end yoshida makes the final decision and we should all trust he thought carefully of this matter and will make it work not just so to get us to point A to point B faster but to increase the overall feel of the game...

I've always liked the 1.0 anima system, personally.
However, I do feel that it made other means of transportation obsolete. And there was always a simple solution to the problem - only being able to teleport from an Aetheryte, and not from anywhere. That would make people walk or take their mounts to the nearest Aetheryte to teleport, and even take the boat or airship.

Now, I'm not against the abolishment of Anima, and replacing it with Gil. It's a good thing (even though I tend to always be poor as hell). I'll keep hoping the system I described above will be implemented ;P
