Nearly mixed feelings about Anima.
tbh I dont want Anima, in the first release day I was forced to collect all City-Aethyrite for the LS and that took the suspense of exploring the city the first time.
Back in XI ("bah, someone talkin about XI!") it was such a great feeling to get from Bastok to San Doria the first time as lowlevel. It was a real adventure to get there and in XIV Anima took that adventure.
But I dont mind having these Animas now (perhaps because I accustomed to Anima) unless they won't teleport someone to more far away places (Regions that may be implemented in addons).
