I have a better idea. How about they revert to FF11 style of teleporting and allow only the Aetherytes teleport you back to town when arrived at the camp site. Add in a gil sink for the camps teleportation usage. The farther the camp from town the more expensive it gets.

This gives chocobos airships boats and other means of future transportation a purpose.

Or add region teleporters like Teleport-Dem in FFXI and we can continue our journy on a chocobo and gives theses abilities to conjurors or these would be abilities unlocked/quested as their unlocked job class.
