    You think I am latching, but the truth is I really just want nothing to do with your trolling.

    Cool beans man.

    Back to friendly discussion about horsebirds

    XD

    In the end though, I really think the Anima system ruined any potential method of transportation.

    This.

    I'd rather see them focus on more critical things first.

    They'll come, eventually.

    I can't wait to see Chocobos. Especially if we are able to dress them up and come in different colors. I want a black chocobo with gold plate armor. I also hope we can name them. Quality over quatity for me baby

    I think that could be easily fixed.

    With everyone hooked on a simple transportation system, what SE does is introduce some sort of crazy world event where all the Aetherytes suddenly break and the mysterious aetheric mist no longer crystallizes. Panic rises through the population of Eorzea, once docile creatures turn feral, attacking anyone in sight, and the heralds begin proclaiming that the end of days is near.

    The campaign to restore the Aetheryte and explain the cause behind these strange events introduces chocobos and airships into Eorzea. New zones are added that are only accessible by these new forms of travel, as the aetheric mist is incapable of crystallizing so close to these anomalies that have sprung up.

    Once you have defeated the big bad, the Aetherytes start to reform slowly, but are forever changed. Now it requires more anima the further away from the city you're trying to teleport. Since the anomalies still exist, albeit in a weakened form, they continue to interfere with teleportation.

    By making it less reliable than before, either by randomly costing a few more anima than normal or just occasionally being unable to teleport you, like a bad storm blowing in from the horizon. You can either wait out the storm, or catch a bird or airship to your destination.

    And if you decide to wait out the storm, perhaps a little mini game might help entertain folks until it blows over, http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Do-you-like-it. ^_^

    There are three months to go of summer.

    By extension, we're getting it in the next three months.

    In the next three months we'll see 1-3 patches (probably 2).

    We'll get horsebirds in the next 2ish patches. What more could you ask for?

    I agree with OP on this one. I think mages should be the ones with potential to teleport/warp. It was a huge way to make money and it was another way to get gil pulsing around the community to different people other than the AH/MW. I like the idea of getting rid of Anima. Classes should have more importance on the world. I simply don't understand why a Marauder can self-teleport.

    They should be abilities that can't be shared on different classes, so you have to actually switch to the correct class to be able to do it. Make it so Conjurer has Warp and Warp II which sends you back to your previous Aethyrte Crystal, and give THM's the ability to travel to different Aethyrte.

    I don't want to turn FFXIV into FFXI-2, but I think this is something in the game that is needed once Airships and Chocobos are released. Hell, I even miss the Holla, Mea, and Dem crags. They were so epic to look at even after 6 years of playing. They were a landmark in a huge zone and always a place to find a chocobo when you needed one.

    Insulting people in the counter argument isn't going to change their minds. It will make them stick harder to their opinion regardless of whether or not it's right, and think less of your opinion simply because you insulted them. In essence, if you want to try and change someone's mind, come up with a well thought-out response and don't be a dick.

    Happy Friday everyone.

    Devs, can I ride my horse bird any time soon? ^.^

    Sure, Seeing the copy/pasted scenery from your Chocobo's back is going to turn this game around. There's no way the battle system, classes, dungeons, quests, leaves and the UI are more important then riding on a chocobo's back... And 11 people hit like? Really?

    Well, I don't think Choco's and Airships should be priority over the battle systems, I just think it will definitely help once they're finally in the game after all that. Here's to hoping for a new and fixed game..just need to add more NPCs now to give the game more life.

    Personally I find teleporting all over the place to be one of the WORST aspects of this game.

    Even worse than a lack of auto attack.

    Those are pretty much on the same level for me lol but now I know they are adding auto-attack so I can just hope they'll get rid of the Anima system post choco/airships.
