The answer is No. You're immersion is not effected and shouldn't be. It's an elitist standpoint that you are taking by dictating that people take the long way around so that you can feel immersed. Immersion is subjective. There is plenty to be immersed in the world of XIV and game design should not revolve around immersion, it should be a by product of good game design.
The point of discussion is for discussion. Most of your arguments simply say because it's my opinion. That was kind of the point I was making. You have no REAL reason why my opinion should be ignored when there are others who agree. I knew all of that stuff when I made that post, I would be stupid otherwise. Thanks for the intelligent breakdown of my argument, it's good to know there are smart people who disagree with my opinions. Though just because not all people enjoy what I enjoy does not make it moot, because I'm sure I do not like exactly the same things you do. Games WILL have to force their own values on everyone at some point in time. That means no one will be 100% happy. I'm hoping to get my voice heard, and so things that I agree with can be implemented with hardly any cost to the people who don't want it. In many of your other arguments, you make me out to be an extremist, which I am not. I do not make the demands you say I do. AND SORRY FOR THIS COMPLETELY SCATTERED ARGUMENT. The main reason for this post is:

I like where this topic is going. Perhaps the devs might see these particular ideas from other developers and it might spark an idea of their own. Keep it coming!
