Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

my first time, someone ported us there by mistake instead of my first time at dragonhead lol, so i got both for free port. not exciting at all. >< ..running first time is way better. but if they announced right now they will add this how many of u will race to get free ports to all crystals lmao. but anyway then the rest of game will least be fun.

but there was a quest that takes u into mor dona, don't matter if u port, it was fun getting to the quest spot, it was long run, avoiding agro mobs. more and more zones will probably have less and less crystals and longer runs or newer ways to get there too. and like i said in above post, if it's other then leves it will probably push u threw agro mobs an runs that can be called worthy of entertainment.

Don't forget riding there on chocobos too! Once chocobos are added I'm going to pretend the teleport option doesn't even exist, just so I can ride around all day on a giant yellow ostrich ^.^ (Fingers crossed it plays some new awesome variation of the chocobo theme when riding a chocobo, that would keep me entertained for hours!!!!!!! x3)

Me too. I can't wait, even for rental chocobos. I really can't wait for the "My Little Chocobo" system. So excited.
