Make everything in game 1% drop. Do you see how I used your same concept to point out your flaws? that's the reason it is a pointless base concept because it can be taken anyway. Taking 5 mins 1 min 1 sec 20mins to get to a single city does not completely kill the game, dumb it down, makes it easy or makes it hard you still have to run to your destination. Getting somewhere 5 mins faster simply will not change how long you play the game. Lack of content will change that. since you love this concept so much. By YOUR logic i can say that you think chocobo's and airships are already a horrible idea simply because you get to your destination much faster so dumb the game down and turns it into Easy mode.
That is quite a perverse misrepresentation of my view, completely.

And i quote myself:

Yes, i agree to the point that the game should not have mindless time-sinks, and a current example of that i would definitely agree to is current state of the game where:

1) No chocobos to speed up movement around this massive world where you end up traversing the lands at a slow steady speed relentlessly.
2) No Airships, meaning you have to spend 20 mins running through Eorzea from one city to the other.
We are in agreement that game does need to keep convenience as a key factor. I am hardly against that. But requesting to keep a ride as short at 5 mins and having some flight times to simulate a real airship is purely an immersion and balance issue.

I am saying let's meet half-way, so both parties can be happy. It is neither inconvenient, nor does it kill immersion/balance.

Yes? No?
