My only concern with the way teleports and anima work in this game.

[Estellios]

Then people will just have their high level friends kill all the enemies as they walk to camps and still forgo exploration and adventure or whatever, so this will not change anything. Those thing's don't hold the same value to everyone. Play the game how you want to play and let others play the game how they want to play.

I did find a high level thf in pashow marshlands to guide me and help me reach jeuno (we didn't even have maps, how cool was that?), that was what, 8 years ago? I still remember it, and will always. *youtubes rolanberry field's theme*

What I don't understand on people who "argue" against this, is that they complain as it this would be a game breaking change. This would give what? 5 hours total of cristal gathering, in exchange for memories, sense of accomplishment and awareness of the world around them that the current "just port wherever you want" system doesn't supply, before putting the new players on the same level everybody is at(except happier).
Eorzea is not that big.


A little offtopic:
I've been talking to a lot of people, and I've came to the conclusion that this community is not as bad as it looks on this forums. It's just that only the trolls and young kids are vocal.
Most of the assertive part of this community just avoids this forum altogether.
Sometimes I wish these forums were more active, but then I just lose the will to post and to read them after a couple of days of reading the quality of discussion and arguments that go on in here!

I'm not saying for ourselves jesus christ, we've ruined it for us when we got babysitted everywhere. You'll never remember your first time in the other cities.

When you're walking to save anima you're just wasting time (which isn't terribly wrong either, since this is a mmorpg), I'm fine with us being able to teleport everywhere!
But we have the crystals..

When new areas get added to the game I'll hate hearing ls member saying "just got ported to the new zone. who wants teleport? " and everybody getting to the new zone without having any idea how to get there, and what it is close to.

Your inb4 won't stop me from saying: Then walk to the new areas.

[Roukiz]

The problem right now is, what really is there to explore?

There are only a few points of interest I can think of, but otherwise all the landscape is mostly devoid of purpose

this so much^^^^^^

Seriously, I've solo'd just about everything, I walked to each city at launch, you know what my memories of that was, "Wow everything looks the same", and whe nI took the ferry..."wow this sure is boring"... If people want to be ported to the camps and pickup their self ports that way, that's their business, not yours, quit your whining.

You're right. But it looks like the new maps will give plenty exploration value.

Pandastirfry:
This is exactly the kind of attitude I was refering to, on my off topic.
I make a thread, with my view on a certain subject, and my opinion on how it should be better, and you and other trolls come here attacking whatever I said (some without even reading), with arguments such as "not your business, stop crying", when you're the one crying how you don't want any changes.

This will be my last post in this thread as this is sort off turning into a little flame war, but I'd like to use it to remind you that maps will be changing, and suggest you take a look at the concept art for the areas, they seem to be rather interesting, and I'm sure there will be a lot to remember.

But like they say, arguing in the internet is like running in the special olympics. And arguing with this board's trolls even more so.
I've stated my idea and it has got quite a lot of positive feedback, so I'm rather happy. I'll stop feeding the trolls now.

when did I say I didn't want any changes. Your idea comes up at least once a week, ever since launch...it hasn't changed, and it's looking like it never will, so yes it is whining.
and also just because some one disagrees with you, doesn't make them a troll

[Jericho]

For the next FF game SE releases, I request the ability to teleport to any area I want, any time, regardless of whether I've been there or not. Thanks!

You people are silly.

Also:

just because some one disagrees with you, doesn't make them a troll

Maybe, but this does:

Another one? Seriously?

Genius.

We should all take examples from you and just shutup and accept the status quo.


Ahh...good old status quo.
