Getting around

[smithdag]

why run from Gridania to LL? just take the airship..

[nasomi]

I should take the airship more... I wish they'd do away with anima/teleports, choco's and airships are all we need, and the ability to set home points at the crystals. Then 3 teleports to places by cities, but not to close, like camp horizon or tranquil or iron lake, but as a player cast spell that would take people in their party.

Man, remember when getting from the starter nation to Jeuno was your first biggest adventure? Oh god nostalgia.

I remember my first big adventure in xi being figuring out how to get out of san d'oria. then making the massive hike to lathine.

FFXIV was my first "real" MMO and I really like it, so I quite understand your feeling. I also understand that it has a lot of flaws and weakness compared to Other "Modern" MMOs and needs to be Improved greatly.

However, I think the Traveling in this game is quite sufficient, we have; Rental Chocobos, GC Chocobos, Goobbue, Ferry Ride, Airship station for each city, Aethernet for ease of traveling inside City and lastly The Almighty Anima, which allows you to teleport to any Camp you have previously travelled. Not to mention that you can accept Teleport Offers without having to have approached the Camp previously.

If XIV needs more means of Travelling, It will be when more content is up, New Zones, new types of things, etc or maybe stuffs like 2 person in 1 Chocobo or Flying Mounts which we don't have 0.0

Well, anyways, I was just saying what was in my mind, feel free to agree or disagree

I hope FFXIV will be a great game like how FFXI was in it's Day and Age, not in how the Game works, but how it influences people and provide an entertaining experience.

Yea SE definably need flying mounts when 2.0 comes out if they want to be competitive with all the other MMOs out there. I used up all my Anima and it takes hours of running just to get anywhere once your out.

They put flying mounts in wow and people i know that play it said it ruined the game. They refuse to put them in GW2 so im not sure what competition has to do with it.

What an original concept, a player cast a spell you say and then it would take the whole party.

[Gramul]

You make that sound like a bad thing. Phantasy Star Online was is awesome!

They're okay.
But I'm more into exploring a complete interconnected world. PSO is more of a dungeon crawler thing with a bigger focus on combat, which is fine, just not for me.

In my day when we walked to dragon's aery it was uphill in the snow both ways with true sight level 9999 spiders, crabs, darters, goobbues and some more spiders and crabs, also it was uphill even while going downhill, also there was snow, and water, some slushy snowey waterey snow water snow, also uphill.

Yup. You could call the spell [Teleport-Horizon]. But you'd have to buy it, all your spells wouldn't just be granted to you. "oh i got experience, i learned the same thing that everyone else knows, and no one taught it to me, i didn't have ot buy the scroll and read the incantation and remember it."

But yes, leaving bastok to gustabergs, then konschtat highlands, the dunes, and the scary walk to jeuno which only took me 3 tries. Then when I got there I didn't level for a week, i explored, sold stuff, choco quest, etc. The sense of wonder I guess is what xiv didn't have for me, or if it did, it didn't last nearly as long as it should have. xi still had it after 5 years.
