Infos on the Real game Direction? WHEN?!

Wait.. I totally missed that. So what, all teleports are free now? When did this happen!?!

Pretty sure this was announced in either an interview or translated magazine article (probably the latter of the two) saying that anima was going away and we'd use gil to teleport.

If we look back at FFXI as a reference its been shown that Pvp has never really taken off in an online FF game. Both Brenner and Ballista never really took off and because in FF the jobs have clearly defined roles i think balancing those roles would be nigh on impossible for pvp content. If Se can pull it off though and attract new players good, but its one area of FF that doesnt interest me.

To be fair, the PvP in FFXI was added later on, kind of as an afterthought. PvP is being introduced in FFXIV from the get-go, so while it hopefully won't influence PvE too much, it'll definitely have its place.

Ah, thanks. If anyone can still find that source that would be great. I personally prefer a separate resource to be consumed other than gil (of ALL things..), but meh, what ya gonna do..
