Anima+Death=<3

...because immersion!

Maybe we should have to spend several years practicing martial arts before we're allowed to use the mnk job or perhaps a lifelong apprenticeship to be a blacksmith?

The immersion and realism arguments can get so ridiculous at times and no this isn't exaggerating. If people genuinely have a problem that gear gets damage instead of your anima ticking away due to game lore and realism then seriously, this is the crazy-ass reality we could find ourselves in...if SE listened to them anyways. Hopefully they won't.

Make it so that you can not regenerate anima, and when you run out of anima your character will be perma-dead. And you can't delete perma-dead character, you have to buy more slots. Once all 8 characters are perma-dead, your account is insta-banned.

Immersion enough?

You're not hardcore enough. When you purchase a 2nd account, Wada himself will come to your door to punch you in the nuts and then shake your hand for being part of Masochistic Gaming Pro Ubermensch Secret Society.

nah.... just make it so you are perma dead every time you die, and your account is insta-banned.

[Rokien]

now that you can gain anima I think this idea should fit in just fine. It would be almost a perfect balance.

I don't get why people are so against a stronger death penalty. It wouldn't even be that strong anymore that you can just regain all your anima back by doing hamelet.

[Morticous]

Anima is weak and so is our current death penalty.

I don't have a problem with anima per se, but I AM worried that it's implementation will have negative effects on world design down the line. If players don't actively have to traverse the world, why bother putting much effort into it? Or even, taking it a step further, why not just have the content finder port you to the instanced areas straight from town, removing the need to leave them at all?

Of course, I'm not saying either of those will happen, but the connections link up well in my head and it has me worried
