They wouldn't even have to reduce the amount of anima everyone regenerates since you would still have to do a fair amount of traveling on foot or chocobo even if you did port everywhere. I can only hope that this is what happens, but I have no evidence that this is what they are going to do, only a vague sorta hope

I don't care if I do get flamed for saying this, but I thought the crystal/camp to zone ratio in Xi was spot on. 4-5 zones for ever crystal location. Simplistic.
i have stated many times that anima restructuring now is pointless. The new maps will be smaller zones ad its obvious that things will change. If people are gonna make threads about anima they should be requesting idea/concepts/plans for teleportation in 2.0.

However in the ifrit quest you see one of the aths get destroyed, so its my guess that atheryete removal will be written into the lore and they wont be able to give any details yet.

My prediction is that with world changing events the ather in the planet will be diminished allowing in far fewer means of teleportation.
