Well I showed the video of TERA to show how they eliminate the need for a loading screen by masking it with that magical portal.

Perhaps in FFXIV, instead of flying through a magical portal, you could fly into a storm cloud. You wuold be surrounded by clouds for a few seconds while the other zone is loaded in (the cloud coverage would be related to how fast your processor was).
