Petition: Don't allow two home points!

[Jynx]

Perhaps I never said anything about chocbos, and I highly doubt many people use the boat...if any.

I don't blame people for wanting a easy way around the game world, I just think they are focusing on the issue rather than a solution. Making the game a series of loading screens from a personal hub is not where this game should be headed (Everytime they update anything about travel we are getting closer to playing Phantasy star Online).

The developers should (I hope they are) Focusing on making the game world so awesome that people would be stupid to not traverse it.

*edit*

Please don't lump me in with people wanting teleportation and convience to be totally abolished, I just think we have crossed a line and I'm afraid at how it will effect the game world itself.

Teleports just need to be reasonably spaced out and take just a smidgen of effort to actually obtain.

The boat never stood a chance. Anima is always going to preferable to running entirely out of the way and riding a boat for 5 minutes and when airship restrictions were nothing more than "go to the third floor", it pretty much sealed the deal. The only thing that will get people riding the boat is making it go somewhere that Anima can't reach that has worthwhile content, put content on it, or make it worthwhile for fishing; otherwise, people are always going to choose Airship/Anima over it.

Just popping in from Ridillbina to say Rokien's an idiot and should be ignored.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how allowing to set your home point in two different cities won't render airship travel useless.

Currently that's what I use the airship for: move from city to city. It takes walking to the airport, it costs 5k, and it takes some walking again.

How will being able to hit 1 button at NO cost to teleport yourself from city to city DIRECTLY into the inn or gate NOT render airships completely useless as means of transporation?

At most you could say that SOMETIMES you need to go to the third city, but how often can that be, honestly? If it were really that often, you'd just change your HP.

I'm still waiting for you to tell my why I should give a rat's ass that airship travel is dying.

- Airship travel is a staple element of final fantasy.
- It adds to world immersion.
- Its been stated that in the future traveling through airship will be more than just a cutscene.
- Its a gil sink.

Your turn smartass.

None of those have to do with why you don't want both return points >.>.

Did you even read what I was responding to?

- Yes and it will still be available and used in the situations where a teleport can't get the job done (i.e. getting to a third city, and a fourth when Ishgard is opened)
- Here comes the bulls**t blanket "stop liking what I don't like" term
- They will still be available, this will not stop devs from doing this
- And... they will still be available to use when teleports don't cut it. And fyi, new gil sinks can always be created.

I didn't ask you to type a counter argument to what I replied.
You asked for me to tell you why you should give a rat's ass that airship travel is dying. I did.
Now you tell me how allowing to set your home point in two different cities won't render airship travel useless.
