Anima abolishment ~ Thoughts?

[Zantetsuken]

It might be a bit early to judge this change without a full knowledge of ARR's gameplay, but this would be my recommendation:

1. Abolish Anima (already happening)
2. Players get unlimited 'Return' to registered Aetheryte homepoint (or Inn)
3. Players could pay special NPC's at each Aetheryte to teleport to any other Aetheryte they have already visited - Prices are tiered - Main cities are inexpensive, and prices increase the more remote the location.
4. Aetheryte teleportation fee could be increased or discounted based on GC membership and region control - (See 'conquest': FFXI)
5. Teleport spells are introduced into the game to allow free group teleportation.
6. Airship and Ferry trips provide additional content (fishing, battles, NMs, etc), and are inexpensive (or free after obtaining a pass via quest).

These changes would temper the convenience of aetheryte with a gil-sink system. In addition, it would also keep the ferries and airships relevant in the game.
