in the end, i do like the ideas DocMog presented in the very first post. other option is the Anima Teleportation is unlocked through a quest like the Chocobo Liscence.
Umm a few things...

1) You could have teleported him yourself by forming a party

2) If you didnt have anima, tell him to hop on an airship. My entire GC quests involved lots of airship tickets and chocobo rentals

3) Walking anywhere takes a very long time, especially without a chocobo. It is absurd to expect everyone to spend 15-20 mins just *getting* to a quest npc. If anima didnt exist, im willing to bet a lot of ppl wouldnt bother. Mounts make it doable, but before mounts its just awful. The game requires you to travel a lot, and yet travel takes a ridiculous amount of time for no reason.

4) As ive said a billion times, anima runs out. People learn to walk eventually. Think of anima as training wheels on a bicycle. If they dont wanna walk after they run out of anima, they wouldnt have wanted to if anima was never there in the first place.

5) Generally walking anywhere right now is a waste of time. There's nothing out there worth seeing (except coerthas or mor dhona). I can't knock people that love to walk, but i can say that you seriously can't expect that out of everyone. People have things to do with their life, some of them (if not most) working.


And someone has *yet* to explain to me how WHM teleports are any better than anima. I'm starting to get the sense that anima haters just hate the fact that it runs out. Lets drop the pretext of "more immersion" and get to the heart of the issue here.
