What is the point of teleport?

[jincy]

So far its only use is to get out of a battle. Can't use it in a dungeon. Why??

[Apoc]

Have you tried in a different dungeon? I think some dungeons have triggers that stop it from working. I Honestly have yet to use it because a lot of dungeons either have a second exit or automatically walk you out already.

Yeah, SOME dungeons (for example, Tower of Bab'il) are restricted, for obvious plot reasons.

You couldn't have Cid swooping in with his airship to save you if you just simply teleported out of the tower, right? Or, Kain wouldn't steal the crystal from you at the entrance to the Sealed Cavern if you simply bypassed that with a Teleport spell.

But many dungeons do not have such restrictions, and Teleport takes you outside the dungeon entirely (Warp only sends you back to the previous floor transition).

I've tried it in two dungeons and it hasn't work, except to exit from battle. The first time I thought it didn't work because something was scripted to happen before I exited the normal way, but that was not the case. It's really annoying.

It depends. Which two dungeons did you try it in?

Sorry, I don't remember the names (I depend on walkthroughs for that). I'm about 6 hours in. I'm in the Castle Baron now. Teleport didn't work on the way in (through the waterway).

It gets turned off alot. Sometimes for story reasons other times for gameplay. The sealed cave you can't use it cause it would skip a plot point. The final dungeon turns off teleport on the final 4 floors , but you can always just back track a bit and use teleport there.

It took you 6 hours to get to the waterway and baron castle...?

It's great in the final dungeon when you need to leave to turn in pink tails for Adamant Armor.

Not being able to use it in the Sealed Cave is such a ♥♥♥♥ move. It's not so bad in PR since we have dash and faster battle animations, but in the original it was a slog to walk back out and you have those trash battles with bats/vampire and their drain animations.

That was done for plot reasons. The trigger for Kain to betray you and steal the crystal happens to be right near the exit of the cave and if you could teleport out of there you'd skip that whole part.

It's too bad the original version didn't prevent you from Warping back into the Dwarven Kingdom's crystal room and snatch a copy of the crystal, effectively making Kain betray you on the way in instead of on the way out.

I always rearranged the spell order of every new character that joins and Rydia coming back with Warp *active* was quite the interesting find. I never knew the Sealed Cave was an actual dungeon until the Advance version came out.

That's because Baron's waterway both lead to safe areas (Castle and Town), teleport takes you from a dangerous place (cave, dungeon) to the outside from where you entered

Weird flex but okay. "I regularly skipped a significant potion of the game for no good reason."

Really? You NEVER knew it was an actual dungeon? You did it on your very first playthrough and every time after that, never actually bothering to go into the cave that the plot specifically mentions needing to go into?

I'm calling BS.

I legitimately thought it was part of the game to allow you to go back to the crystal room, because I was fairly young the first time and didn't care to read the text on my subsequent playthrough. I only played through FF2US twice before FF4A came out and deactivated that glitch, effectively forcing me to go into the Sealed Cave.

ive noticed that once ur done with the dungeon teleport will work but still not in most places
