I was surprised by the rhetoric in your response, especially when I was so light-hearted in my initial response. I'm no boy scout or defender of the weak. I've matched the rhetoric accordingly.

Okay first off, I'm not sure where I'm coming off as being offensive, so I apologize.

Those aren't my intentions. In the midst of all this, I enjoy debating with you Rhomagus.

So, If i've cited anything that elicited something as such, my bad.

Now back to the thread.

I posted the statement about immersion being subjective regardless because i got the idea that some people were trying to say they weren't being immersed at all. So I had to make sure that we were all on the same page of what immersion was. I know that we are now.

I stated that the people who enjoy certain aspects of the game are being shortchanged when changes are being made to accommodate for a casuals time. How exactly am I incorrect? I made a analogy earlier.

There is a basketball game going on. Certain people don't have time to watch all 4 quarters, David Stern wants them to experience everything so he decides to accommodate for them by making it only 2 quarters, now it fits their schedule, their lifestyle. Now being an avid basketball fan, I now have 2 less quarters to watch thus my immersion is being cut in half. I experience half of what I could, I'mma feel cheated! Please, don't get too technical man, it's just an analogy.

Traveling affects the immersion of being in a massive open game world. No other type of immersion (that I can think of right now) is immediately affected. The sleep metaphor is irrelevant because it's not related to the size of the world. Regardless of if I watch him sleep or not doesn't affect the feeling of how vast the world is. Thats why you can't use my argument on it. I still don't see why your being redundant in using it against my points. Once again, the only type of immersion I'm talking about is the sense of scale in this world and what is affected by it, thus transportation topics.

Off topic but...why do you provide unnecessary responses? Some of them are a given.
Like your response to when I said "We are being immersed into FFXIV, regardless"...
It was as if I'm not aware? Obviously, if I stated above that you are immersed only when your playing the game, I am. It seemed more of like a belittlement to my points/phrases instead of you trying to make an actual point to disparage mine. You do that throughout my paragraphs. Maybe I did that in yours?

...going on...after that you got into how the traveling/distance/massiveness points I made aren't applicable because of how IT's are built into the lore. Can someone please link me to this lore? I can't respond without reading this first.

Till then.
