We can have a giant god dragon slaying airship that took down Midgardsomr with it, but the Regalia mount is too much? Azys Lla is literally an Allagan floating prison for the Warring Triad and Ratatoskr that we break into with the help of a flying ice lady fighting an enemy magitek airship. But yeah, the Regalia is too much. Same with fat chocobos, they couldn't fly with those tiny wings, physics wouldn't allow it.
I assume you're referring to me, since I mentioned the Regalia? I actually never said that it broke immersion: I said that the aesthetic did not fit with the rest of the game. This is just my subjective opinion, of course, but one which I feel entitled to hold. And I certainly never said anything that could be construed as it being THE thing which is out of keeping with the rest of the game's aesthetic. There are plenty of things that fall into category, in my opinion; but I wanted to allude to the fact that my threshold for aesthetic deviation is quite low, and that is why I made mention of my often running around in artefact gear rather than more novel/unusual attire.

Your argument is, loosely speaking, sound, so I don't know why you feel the need to erect straw men like these in order to support it.
