Anima abolishment ~ Thoughts?

[Ruethryl]

Well since, by the looks on the alpha videos, gathering looks more fun, SE might get people to explore the world with the appeal of gathering...

Well even in 1.0 I tended to see the gathering types running all over the place while I was grinding out regular Battle leves.

No, we will get unlimited teleporting.

Maybe it will be confined to between aetherytes or just to main cities... we don't know yet.

I do feel that there should be some sort of teleportation, But not Anima. The Anima system, made Airships and Ferries obsolete, because all people would do is Tele Tele Tele!

Having a Spell Teleportation, or NPC Teleportation pay by gil ( the further you go the more expensive it gets)

EX: You= Gridania
Tele= Bentbranch ---> 500g
Tele= Limsa----> 5,000g

Make it so you can teleport but make you think before you teleport, and gives a person a reason to use the other Methods of transportation.

I'm not sad about Anima removal because, as Yoshi-P said, there are many situations where you have to move to the other side of Eorzea to take part in an event, so you have to be as fast as possible. And I'm also convinced it doesn't steal anything to the excitement of exploring, because the new Eorzea is so beautiful that everyone will be pushed to travel through it.
But what I'd like to see is a little bit more difficult to reach or get the ability to teleport somewhere.

It's quite easy getting a teleport by just touching it, for some Crystals (Such as the ones in Mor Dhona, a treacherous and perilous place hard to reach) it would be great having quests, NMs, missions to complete to get them. (I'm not talking obviously of Bentbranch or Tranquill, but something like Brittlebark, Revenant's Toll, Crooked Fork, ...)

Paying for teleports.. ugh.. I remember going from UO where you could mark any coordinate and teleport back (solo) or open a gate to that coordinate for others to pass through.. then going to XI.. was quite painful.

Even with my multiple rune books I still liked to hop on my mount and run around though.

As long as it is balanced I'll be happy enough.. an hour to get to camp for instance.. (No Thanks!)

Personally I welcome removal of anima to teleport. People will still explore the world because they want to not because they are forced to. Plus there's going to be a lot of content that brings people different places.

The beauty of teleport is it allows you to skip that road you would have to take over, and over, and over, and over again.

Not sure what to think...hm. I would like to know what will be the price now to teleport places, if any? I don't care for the idea of gil. Should be something else...something more innovative :O

[HiirNoivl]

The only people who benefited from anima were the people who sold Hamlet items. When a bunch of aetherytes went free, the world did not suffer....

How much people will or won't be walking depends entirely on the distribution of the aetherytes and *gasp* how much there is to do in any given location.

Imagine, a world that's not 90% empty....
