    They say chocobos and airships and such play a major role in Eorzea for "people". Too bad they don't play any role at all for players.

    Speak for yourself. I Chocobo everywhere and ride the airship any time I have to go to Limsa. I admit that I do generally Return when I go back to Gridania (my home point). I'd rather take a bit longer to get where I'm going than waste my Gil.

    I could fight Coil naked and use "walk" all the time, doesn't mean there is a point in doing so except me making things more annoying for myself for no actual reason.

    This is brilliant, now i want one on what exactly is a "tomestone". Tomestones look awfully like the sword stuck in Bahamuts Dalamud...

    To traverse the Lifestream safely with Teleport and Return requires a great deal of spiritual energy, known as anima. While many individuals, such as adventurers, possess the fortitude to endure such travel, some individuals do not. What’s more, even if one has the ability to use aetherytes, the frequency with which one can do so varies. In essence, for some, the recast time for these spells can be far longer than for an adventurer.
    ummm.... I don't understand. So... what happened to our anima? Are we still able to use it?

    Many aetheryte camps were destroyed during the Calamity, which necessitated their reconstruction. However, this came at great expense, and so teleportation fees must be collected to repay the as yet unpaid debt.

    However, the gil doesn’t just magically disappear from your purse! Though it's not shown in the game, it's collected by the guards keeping watch of the aetherytes.

    On a side note, guards posted by each city-state's aetheryte can tell you about aetherytes and teleportation magic. If you're interested, see what they have to say!
    I don't believe this ballony.

    They're as bad as the US IRL, working on credit are they?? I'm pretty sure they could've thought of something else,lol!
    Nobody works for free for they time they were reconstructing. I would rather go back to paying in anima.
