Btw by taking out the anima I assumed that would be the end of teleporting not cost-free teleporting.
I don't see what would be the reasons to use chocobos ever if they keep that lazy feature in the game.
UNLESS we get to fight on a chocobo. That would kick ass especially if mobs designed for that would also be on the move. Given SE's latest track record of jumping over from where the fence is the shortest I don't think they'll do something that innovative though.
