Reflection on the idea of teleport removal.

[Zenaku]

You wouldn't need a mage in your party to teleport you, you would just need to equip the ability.

Mage only Spell which would be white mage class.

I'm very sad that most % of players base now want everything easy and handed too them. Removing the teleport in the way how it is now wont limit you at all it would give more life to ffxiv because at least you have to work and see the areas most ppl don't even know how most city look like beside the camp areas.

I guess there noting i can do about that the new generation at least am getting use too the feeling of teleport everywhere

Again, there's... No white mage class. And if you mean Conjurer, then there's nothing preventing me from equipping a Cane and *then* the ability. This will not impact party composition in any way.

The current system is fine but I might ride that chocobo just to hear the nostalgic music.

I like the lore behind the anima system. It stresses out your body.
And its good for less time consuming remember this game was meant to have less time consuming stuff. Unless they up the speed of the chocobo from ffxi the 2 hr crowd will get uppity.

there is a thing if you hate teleporting just don't use it. But don't take away those that do.

[Kilta_Firelotus]

Zen its not about hand holding or making the game easy mode.
ffxi was not casual (time) friendly. When i first played ffxi i only had 2 hrs a day cuz I had to share my game with my bother. As well as the ps2 and net connection. Trust me it snuck getting for help. I would end up having to leave the second ppl got ready. Plus the travel. ffxi has alot of fast travel stuff now. So it helps out.

Teleportation, Chocobos and Airships aren't mutually exclusive means of travel. They can all co-exist just fine. It really depends on what restrictions are put on each of them.

Obviously we know teleportation is restricted by location and anima. We've seen the airship docks out there, they would likely be restricted to those locations and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a gil fee involved. Chocobos would also likely have some kind of gil fee involved as well as location restrictions such as possibly not being able to leave the overall zone (Thanalan, Black Shroud, La Noscea, etc...).

Personally, I'd use all three depending on my needs. Teleports if I'm in a hurry and the other two depending on their restrictions. Hell I already walk pretty much everywhere if I've got the time.

[Akumu]

I hated relying on other people to teleport like XI but anima isn't exactly unlimited either. At most they should lower it to 50 but taking it away? or giving it to a whm? No, thanks... I don't want to have to pay someone else or wait for someone else to teleport me somewhere.

[Terabyt3]

Well I created this thread and left it a few days. Seems a fair response so far and I've had a read. Personally I think the teleporting only from Aetheryte crystals or nodes sounds like the best option. It also feels like it makes more "sense" to me. The whole slipping into the Aether to teleport surely should only be able at places like the nodes or crystals. Not anywhere/anytime.

Personally I hope it's a change they make.

Teleports should not be removed once chocobos and airships are in place. Chocobos and airships should be a nice and entertaining way of traversing short and long distance areas while enjoying nice scenery.

Teleports should be reserved for emergencies and it introduces a fairly decent resource management system in the form of anima. The regeneration rate accommodates casual players who log in infrequently, as they'll benefit from not having to spend a lot of their time traveling.

Anima cost on return as penalty of death is a good idea, and using the option of "return" while still alive should be 0 anima.

[Arcell]

Death = anima cost
Return = no anima cost

I'm sorry but that makes absolutely no sense. What if you die and you have 0 anima? You're stuck dead until you passively generate enough to return? Also how would that make any sense if the same function requires 0 anima when you're alive?
