Chocobos, Teleportation, Airships, and your feet. A Travel Thread

[BadOmen]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell... a reason for an old fashio style of transportation other than teleport/warp(wathever you call it) and why animas be limited is simple as this... we are suposed to be adventurers in a morpgs right? isnt exploring a big part of it?.... well if you go to anywhere thanks to teleport in secs as your will... where it leaves exploring? i bet if animas were unlimited no one would ever go far beyond the camps near aetherites, kinda boring and that wouldnt be so adventuring. imagine 2 gamers chit chat: "man a guy got me to all the aetherites, i never got to run far away to anywhere, so idk where is each camp cause i never ran to them".... now that would be so sad... also remember... someone have to go to aetherites first to aquire it... and how we knows SE not planing to add some places that dont have aetherite? aetherites are great method of transportation that to me are killin the true feeling of go out towns to adventure...

I say get rid of anima, and just require a gil amount to get to where you need. Perhaps:

500 gil to main city/registered point within same region, or secondary node (that you've already obtained) from a camp
1000 gil to non-registered point within region, or city outside of current region
1500 gil for all else (non-registered points outside of region).

I 100% agree with the need to add an Escape spell (takes you to the entrance of a dungeon), but Teleport spells (a la FFXIV) wouldn't make sense as there's too many places to port to, even if it were just for camps.

I'd love to see more emphasis on traveling but with 4 copy paste zones you can forget about it. There needs to be something worth seeing before traveling gets more options.

Have you even gone to all the gates that aren't camps? Have you seen all there is to see in these 4 "copy paste" zones? The game actually has some pretty nice little areas tucked away but they're off the beaten path so hardly anyone ever goes to them.

How dare you insinuate that people should get off their asses and go look around instead of having everything force fed to them?

Next thing you'll be suggesting is that we have to walk to our fridge to get food in the morning.

=p Agreed with these. All I did when I started this game was explore all over the land. It took a lot of time and it was hard at my low levels but I remember my first time in Mor Dhona... the exhilaration was unrivaled. lol

Anima does have lore to it. they can't just get rid of it.

Just change the lore, haha :P
No reason why they can't do that xD

To be honest guys it seen to easy and unreal using the Anima system... Like think about it, everyone have the previlige to just go everywhere they choose? it sound so easy, it should be in a way where you have to own that privilege... what i mean is have the mages to learn teleports magics... it will help then earn a lil extra money or not even sheesss i would teleport for free lol just to meet new ppl. Another way is in each city or crystals have a npc teleport you for a lil cash ofcourse. Give a special quest for you to open the use of airship and chocobo guys. I mean c'mmon we love a chalange and a reason to even be more addicted to ffxiv. Overall guys dont give us those privileges for free... make us earn then plz and give us teleports skills or spells to our mages job so it would make it more fun

I'm telling you guys all you need is a Dodobo. Nothing can outrank a dodobo in speed and sheer ease of use!
