So many fond memories of sitting around in Aht Urhgan with my Tidal Talisman waiting for the stragglers so I could teleport them straight to Nashmau so my LS leader didn't die of apoplexy when they took the damn late ferry.

(The worst part was if you were reasonably fearless and clever you could travel to Einherjar through Alzadaal; it was actually a really cool shortcut, and I think a really good example of the things that owned about XI's world design. If you knew the world and the shortcuts, if you had put a lot of time into unlocking all the means of teleportation, you could get /anywhere in Vana'diel/ inside of seven minutes. I prided myself ridiculously on my ability to do such and had more than a few races between myself and friends as to who could get to some obscure but immediately recognisable location first.)

I mean, I'm looking forward to tromping through Mor Dhona on the way to the imperial castrum, but then again I've got a recognisable masochistic streak.
