Whether or not we could just fly or sail the other way around the world is currently unexplored.
They should have bigger airships or at least a good ferry animation when leaving for Kugane. Travel immersion in this game is utterly forgotten because teleportation exists. I really do miss boat rides arriving, traveling and departing in real time between different zones and cities. There's really no reason not to since teleportation already makes travel content non-existent for those that don't have the time/like it.

The irony is that they do always try to have others options in game that don't involve bringing the teleport menu up but they are such an afterthought they feel terrible to use.
