Telportation suggestion. ( One of Many )

[Spuffin]

There are many controversial topics and or suggestions about how we should keep, remove, or change the way teleportation works in this game.

I recently made a post about abolishing anima due to the implementation of Chocobo, Air Ships, and Boat Rides that are already in place.

Rental Chocobo apparently have x2 or x2.5 the running speed of the standard movement speed. I'm assuming that Chocobo earned by Grand Companies have a higher speed then the Rental. It also looks like that we may have an ability that allows us to Chocobo dash for even faster speeds( The chocobo dash is speculation at this point )

Having anima along with our new means of transportation really does negate the purpose of the other 3. Anima allows us to Instantly port us and the entire party from ANYWHERE on the map to any Node and or City that we have come in contact with. That is a little too much IMHO.

Chocobo will have their sole use for faster travel on foot from city to camp. Airships have a sole use for instant City to City travel, Boat rides will have it's use for City to City travel possibly with extra content accompanying the boat ride and or access to new continents.

IDEA:

City <----> City <-- Aetheryte : Death --> Any saved Home point : Chocobo --> Aetheryte/Camp

I suggest we remove anima. Keep the ability to teleport us to your Home Points every 10 min. Each Aetheryte within each Continent has the ability to teleport us back the Main City of that area, almost as if it were an Out Post Warp ( Free of charge of course )

EDIT: Aetherytes will have a sole purpose of initiating Guild Leves for the Disciples of War or act as Future Quest Hubs and optional Home Points. The Crystals in the Main Cities should be used to turn in the Guild Leves for the Disciples of Land. This will balance out the removal of anima and as well as balance every mean of transportation.

This will not only allow SE to develop new means of transportation but give all means and future means a purpose and a balance. This will promote Exploration, Immersion, Depth, [SIZE="5"]Additional Content[/SIZE], and should in the end satisfy both sides of the coin.
