Thread: 2.0 Abolition of Anima?

Is there any word from Devs weather or not Anima and teleporting all over the place will remain in 2.0?

A few options:
- Give WHM teleports back. (level 30 or something so people don't cry about it. They can just carry a WHM weapon around)
- Leave Chocobos
- Leave city warps
- Leave Airships
- Add Movement speed boots that stack with swiftsong
- Add Chocobo armor that increases movement speed

(The above is just my opinion on the subject <3 Let's hear yours)


Thoughts?

Edit:
Teleporting around, Anima, it doesn't feel Final Fantasy to me. It never will. It seems broken that I can port around (even on a timer), to anywhere. It just seems TOO strong a mechanic in a MMO.
I have never played a MMO that let you go almost anywhere, anytime, on any class, from anywhere.

Sure, classes had teleport and summon skills, but FFXIV porting takes the cake.

Idk.

It just "feels" broken. I never leave town unless I have anima or can bum a ride from someone who does. I figure if Anima didnt exist, people might actually be running around in game instead of waiting on anima recharge.

no, just no

because we dont need to get rid of everything thats why

anima is fine as is, theres no reason to make it class exclusive

it has a place with everything just fine and simple

leveling "just exists too"

theres a ton you can claim "just exists"

doesnt mean it needs to go



i personaly think of it just as "fast travel" in its own right, you can imagine it any way you want to


remember, its a game, it doesnt always have to make sense

From the "official" flash site:

Though the exact mechanism behind teleportation via aetheryte is still largely a mystery, one theory states that when a sentient being approaches one of the portals, the aether that makes up its body resonates with the aether of the crystals, which in turn results in a complete breakdown of the being's mass, allowing it to temporarily return to the invisible aetheric streams that course throughout the planet. The being's soul, which cannot be broken down, then guides the particles to a pre—determined destination, and upon arrival, the corresponding aetheryte receptacle reconfigures the mist back into its original form. This whole process takes only a matter of moments, allowing for nearly instant transportation to faraway destinations.

However, being broken down to the aetheric level can take its toll on one's body, and rest is often required after several consecutive jumps, especially as the distance becomes greater. As a precaution, most city—states strongly discourage over—teleporting, as it can lead to irreversible damage...

tl;dr: Teleporting strains our souls.

I personally think anima has spoiled people, I think once the maps are redone if we could teleport to those floating crystals pretty much breaking from the ground that would be pretty cool... but not through anima.. spells would be nice.. I liked getting teles from people :3
