[dev1055] Guild Tasks, Anima and Travel

[Balbanes]

First, I am very excited to try out the new Guild Tasks, thanks for some new content, SE!

This does raise a concern though. With accessing these tasks through the various guilds in the three city-states, we now have one more way to burn through our already precious Anima. Can we look forward to new forms of travel pretty soon? Airships, chocobos, something new, etc etc.

imo they should X out anima, give us the birds, and have mages for tele travel OR Decrease anima for non-mage classes down to maybe 25, and increase the anima regen rate for mages. This would give the yellow bird and or air ships and the boat a more primary use as anima would be more saved for emergency use rather then "Damn, thats a long run lets just use anima"

Maybe, but think of it like this: You cant teleport to any place unless you've been there first. Personally I think it works just fine now, but the implementation of chocobos will make exploration around the areas where you can teleport to, that much easier/fun to do.

Walk? ^^

in a modern MMO? no.

Chocobos would be my first choice of course but Im sure they will hold off on those till closer to a ps3 release ;;.

I would love to see a job with the ability to teleport to a few main locations, CON perhaps.... I loved that in ff11 and think it would be a great addition in 14 as well.

i personally think all this walking is painful and think the idea of tele-spells is a great idea. OR GIVE ME A MOUNT.

Learn to enjoy the environment and take a nice stroll to the next city.

I hope they don't make teleport a mage specific ability, it wouldn't make sense with the lore we have. Honestly if they're going to let us teleport at all I'd rather not be forced to either level a mage class JUST for that or pay a mage for a port.

Anything short of chocobo mounts is going to be fail imo, it should be what it should have been in XI with chocobo raising.

Rank 20+ to start quest.
Color of chocobo could be chosen.
should be fairly quick to obtain.
Can be summoned anywhere in the open world thats not mines/caves etc.

Anything less than that is going to be lackluster and a huge letdown, this is a modern MMO, there should be a mount system.
