Travelling

Afoot

Compared to other types of transportation, this one will requires the most time. However, if your goal is gathering information or collection treasures or even level up, walkking through an area will reap the most rewards, especially if its your first time there.

Chocobos

In several villages and towns across Ivalice you will find chocobos stables where for a small fee, you can hire a chocobo for riding. Controlling a chocobo is similar to travelling afoot, though there are a few differences. A chocobo's speed is significantly higher than that of a character afoot, and you will not be able to be attacked by monsters while riding. However, you will only be allowed to ride a chocobo for a limited amount of time. When that time runs out, you will automatically dismount. After dismounting, nearby monsters may attack, so it is recommended that you keep and eye on the clock in the lower right of the screen when riding through dangerous areas.
Also, you can dismount at any time by pressing the O Button. Note that once you have dismounted, you will not be able to remount, regardless of howmuch riding time remained prior to dismounting.

Sprinting : Pressing the X Button while riding a chocobo will give you an added boost of speed for a limited time. You can sprint up to three times.
In addition to hiring from the stables , there are other methods of obtaining a chocobo. However you come by one, you would do well to give these charming yellow birds a try as it is rumoured that there are places only accessible to chocobos.

Airships

As the story progresses, you will have the opportunity to make use of the airship that connects various cities and towns across Ivalice. Not only are airships amoung the fastest methods of transportation, they also offer many other services as well, such as onboard shopping.

Teleportation

During your travels you will often come across large orange crystals known as "gate crystals". If you possess a "teleport stone", you can use it to instantle teleport to any other gate crystal you have touched in the past. Each teleportation will consume one teleport stone.
As with save crystals, gate crystals can also be used for saving your game and healing your party.
In addition to the methods listed above, there are also other modes of transportation unique to certain areas. Locating these will assist you on your journey.
