I agree with the OP. If this were just a temporary Band-Aid for the Ul'dah inn being down I wouldn’t mind.

Otherwise it just seems... I don’t know. Why not go whole hog and give us free tele to all 3 cities? Why not just give free tele to everywhere. Why not just let us choose the zone name and enter x,y coords and we just warp anywhere…

Why design an overworld, lets just gather together in one city and tele to instances and only ever see 8 people at a time... That’s not the game I signed up for.
There are 25 crystals that one can set their homepoint to. You can return to one of two, out of those 25, every 15 minutes. No matter what the system is, people will always find ways to abuse or get around it. However, this doesn't mean that the entire community should be damned just because a few people can go between two cities every 15 minutes.

Anima cost for every single other point in the entire game is still in effect. We now have events in areas far enough off that teleporting, even with anima cost, is still viable. We also have the choice of foregoing anima use and using Chocobos and Airships. I guarantee even with these two homepoint options, people will still run out of anima.

The overworld will still be used, extensively. The sky is not falling, the world is not coming to an end just because we have one additional return point. It's really not that big of a deal. You know what's going to happen? I'm going to set one homepoint at my Inn for when I log out for the night and the other as I normally would.
