Only way ARR takes a month to finish is if you're AFKing a lot or you walked everywhere and never used a teleport.

A completely unnecessary move given that teleportation is all around the game.

So while people can argue that you can walk to places in XIV the design is obviously made with cutting out all the details and immersion slow travel would bring. We can't pretend the conveniences of teleportation and fast travel haven't impacted the design of the game, they have. It's a teleport first and "I guess you can walk?" game.

The game really feels hollow at times.
Sorry, but I don't miss sitting around for 20 minutes waiting for the airship, then spending another 10 minutes doing absolutely nothing riding the airship. That stuff was a pointless time sink for the sake of a time sink. There's nothing immersive about that, its just annoying.
