Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[davysez]

then its safe to say thats your opinon. But it is not fact. If thats your opinion then thats fine. However there is no proof that going from one city to another in a insta airship is duming down of the game because there is no difficulty in waiting on a ship vs insta ship. you can stand by it and thats fine but it does not make sense to me and many others.

Dumbing down means the system before it was more complex. In this case or insta ship vs 5 min ship is waiting more complex to you?

theres a question for you.

I think SE would have a hard time dumbing down the anima-teleport system any more than it already is. Anyone, including a brain-dead vegetable, can instantly teleport to anyone of the fifty gazillion aetheryte camps, from anywhere in the world, at any time, just by opening a menu. If that's not already dumbed down enough, I don't know what is.

Yes, having to wait 5 minutes for an airship is more complex. You must ask yourself, which is more valuable, five minutes of your time, 30k of gil for a teletaxi, or 3 anima? It's called a trade-off, or otherwise known as "something which requires thought". Novel idea, this thinking while playing a game thing.
