Teleportation in ARR

[Romowens01]

The way the aetherpass is used right now is supposed to be free in 2.0.

That's fine and good but why not be able to choose as you leave instead of running down the hall to the closest one. It'd be a nice convenience for us.

And I also agree make everyone explore the world again.

Because it's always good to FORCE someone to do something that's 'good for them' (in YOUR opinion), right?

I agree that people need to explore new areas and see new scenery. It had to be done in the current 1.0 and still people get lost! If you don't like exploring, nobody's forcing you. Just stay in you inn or don't bother to log on. :P

Yes, make them free because gods forbid SE forces us to explore the city and stuff. Though I don't agree with everything centering itself around Aetherytes. Why not a warping mage or a teleporting moogle? How about a Mono-rail or blast-cannon! Why not just "short-cuts" we discover over the course of time and magically appear in another area!?

My question is... are we going to have to play Metal Gear Fantasy Solid again? It was fun the first time sure, but I'd prefer having to fight my way through lv50-55 mobs to get to a gate rather than wait 6 minutes for a mob to turn slightly left and run past him. Also, boars can go to hell...

This ... damn 10char...

...and Lindwurms and other flavor of raptors!

Hopefully there'll be less placeholder mobs much over level 50 in the new world so it'll be easier to explore. There's really no reason for it until there's a level cap increase.

It's no big secret 1.0 was highly unfinished, so it was probably more work than it was worth to redo every area of the map when the new team came in. Once they started adding content to certain areas, that's when they made minor revisions to monster levels and such.

My body is crying from the scars I received trying to obtain all those locations.
Although, re-discovering all the newer location makes it a leveled playing field for everyone.

What happened to the days of Final Fantasy where the world doesn't really open up to instant travel until you've reached the end? I love that. Make the grunts travel by foot/bird !
