Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Bled]

You still didn't clap your hands and turn up wherever you wanted either. Fast travel in XI always had some sort of downside wether it being the quest to get the teleport spell or the trip to get your outpost/craig crystals. Or the Besieged/Campaign you needed to gain points to use to warp all willy nilly.

I think XI did it right it allowed alot of transportation options but also had easy to obtain but limited supply of said warps.

and to add to what you all ready stated, the instant teleports in FF11 were integrated into the games lore/immersion. In FF14 you have anima well hell everyone has it how do i explain it? (um hmm i guess all people in his world are born with the ability to teleport!) that is the enemy of immersion. In FF11 all instant travel had a place in the games lore, and worked to not break your immersion in the game.

FF11 most certainly did it right, people have just been stuck with FF14 for so long now they have to settle for this crap.
