Chocobos? Airships? Great! Anima? {No, thanks.}

All the people complaining about Anima system aren't casual players and this IS a game for casual players too. They should play FFXI instead FFXIV. If people don't like FFXIV and the path it's taking just don't play it.

I've been playing FFXI for 6 years almost every day for several hours per day (sometimes up to 8-10), just because I was able to do it. Now I'm not, and I need a game kinda different of that, and FFXIV is the game that fits perfectly. Now I have just few hours to spend per day and I need a game that take the most of my free time. If I would have 7-8 hours to spend per day I'd keep playing FFXI.

I trust in SquareEnix, they did a GREAT job with FFXI and I'm sure they will do the same with FFXIV over time. I'm sure this will be a great game for casual players and non-casual in the future.

Hi Rikuu, Where'd you come up with such an assumption? I for one am a casual player, and a very casual player at that. Trust me, i am in no way advocating for this to be FFXI hardcore player style. Infact, i quit FFXI as good as it was cause i couldn't afford to keep up with the time needed for that game. All i and i believe the majority of the anti Anima people are pointing out is to make the tele system more logical, appealing and have it make sense, in the same time not have us abuse and rely on it heavily and ditch the new transportation systems which should be encouraged to be used. I think Tele is a great feature for sure. Just not what we have atm. Read the previous posts. This has also been discussed in older threads with the same concerns and complaints.

Perhaps this will need some deeper thought on the Devs' side to maybe restructure the way the current system is very Tele-dependant, it should not have to be that way. Whether it's the leves system or the landscape structure.
So, until it is feasible to remove it, then obviously it needs to stay.
This is just thought for improvements, not elimination or making casual player's life harder. I'd suffer consequences myself. I'm sure SE is capable of working it out.

Reduce the amount of running around required every 36 hours, then nerf teleportation. Local leve turnins should be reorganized so that you don't end up running to Nine Ivies, then Tranquil, then Crimson Bark, then Emerald Moss all in one set. This would still be tedious even on a chocobo. Instant transportation right now is an important way to reduce the tedium of doing the same boring routine over and over again 4-5 times a week. Address the tedium and I think the "need" for this will evaporate and the majority will accept more immersive transportation.

Did no one read my post. >.> I don't support the idea of anima, but I still gave an alternative that can work for everyone IMO. it's a system that can work. I guess we can wait see after the second patch what they do with anima.

FYI, travelling, questing for more options to travel; these are playing the game. It's not an argument to say "I don't have time to travel i'd much rather play the game in the short time I have". Any other game, anima would be completely stupid, and it is in this game right now. I realise at the moment there is no other transport but when there is, things need to change.

Jesus can you imagine.. Picture some of your favourite games, now picture them with Anima >.> Woo useless games!

Why would anyone use chocobos? Because they are cute :3

[Betelgeuzah]

Please look to FFXI.

I did.

Oh, what's that? Outpost warps? Horrible!

They're completely different of course, because herpderp.

I personally LOVE chocobo's and airship's.

They should really do the FF7 idea.. Catching and raising them
Maybe some pets that would be cool too like wolfs and stuff :-)

Haha.. sounds Funky Leviathan. I loved everything about FF7. That would be cool riding different pets besides chocos, although doubt it'll happen
