Seriously, the people crying about giving the option for both crowds is ridiculous.

Obviously people run out of Anima. It's not some magic "oh you're using it wrong", it happens. Giving those people the option to use Gil to take an Airship and still quickly get to some of the areas (note, not all the areas you can get to with Anima, SOME of them) isn't ruining your "immersive world". Because YOU can still choose to take the long option.

Why does it affect you people so much that everyone doesn't want to do it your way? Because that's how they did it in FFXI? Guess what, airships in FF since time immemorial were made for fast travel. FFXI is technically the bastard child here, not the other games. Be happy that both sides get what they want and stop trying to ruin other people's fun.

It's like people complaining about fast travel in Elder Scrolls/Fallout games. Nobody's telling you you have to not take the horse and ride or walk where you want to go, go do it.
