I'm only using the following qoutes as a reference. I'm just trying to get a better idea about the reasoning behind the comments and give my honest opinion about being able to set 2 homepoints.
To be honest, i still don't understand why being able to set 2 different homepoint will render the airships useless. From what i understood from the OP is that you can only return to either homepoint. So, it's basically a one-way trip. On the other hand, it doesn't say that both homepoints won't be accessible via the same Return option. By that i mean that when you use "Return", you will get the option to select either the "Aetheryte" homepoint or the "Inn" homepoint. After using the Return option, the 15 minute timer would kick in and you will have to wait 15 minutes to "Return" to another location.
So, if i currently have my "Aetheryte" homepoint set to Camp Glory in Coerthas, my "Inn" homepoint in Ul'dah and want to travel to Gridania to do a Primal battle, then i would still use either a Teleport (if i have enough Anima) or travel by Airship. That is something i would've done even if we only have 1 homepoint. I really don't see the problem of having 2 Homepoints.
And to be completely honest Rokien, does it really matter if we have 1 or 2 homepoint for people who want to "Death Port"? If people want to "Death Port", they would do it anyway, regardless of how many Anima or Homepoints they have.
How many of you have forgotten to set your Homepoint back to your original "Aetheryte" homepoint (like Ul'dah) after doing a quest or spiritbond party in Coerthas? And when you use "Return" at (for instance at Camp Broken Water), you find yourself at Camp Glory instead of Ul'dah? On that note, i wouldn't mind being able to set a 2nd Homepoint at an Inn. That way i can always port back to the city i usually go to, in order to park myself in the Inn and log for the day.
But, in short... Until we recieve more information about how we can use 2 different homepoint, all we can do is speculate. I'm not going to say that we shouldn't discuss the matter, but it's wise to keep an open mind. The game is not going to "break" because of an option like setting a 2nd homepoint, which you don't have to use if you don't want/need to.
I for one enjoy to walk around on my Chocobo and travel with the Airship. But i will use my Anime if i need to go somewhere fast.
