    Fast travel is an immersion breaker for me. In Morrowind for example, I loved having to use ferries and silt striders to get around.

    Even in XI, I enjoyed having to use a ferry and airship.

    I enjoy the journey more than the destination sometimes, but I still understand that a fast travel system is needed.

    I guess I'd prefer it if we could only go to cities or something, so there had to be at least a bit of travelling.

    When Anima was scarce it actually was pretty cool, you would actually walk a lot of the time.

    I certainly loved exploring the world as a noob in ffxi, especially the first ferry ride, and airship ride. Even with scarce anima, explorition seemed to be a bit more self motivated for me in this game.

    I think the reason i would like the ease of travel as opposed to walking, or boating everywhere is that i tend to play a lot ... and practically live in the game. Doing a lot of events requires anima, and if you have none people seem a little less inclined to wait for you to choco to the location ^^;

    I also find myself not doing things because i have no anima ... or not doing certain things so i can budget anima for later use ... i rather have enough to do all the events i want without having to skip thing so i have enough for later, or beg others for an anima tele ^^;

    I am sure i will explore as much as i can when the game comes out, and learn everything like the back of my hand, and travel the old fashioned way when i have the time ... i just would like the option to go quickly if i want and not feel forced to do everything in exploration mode ... i want to explore when i want, that way it's even better

    I am sure i will adjust to whatever method is chosen ... i just hope it's something that doesn't limit people's want/ability to do many events quickly, since scheduling can become an issue ^^

    I can understand your point of view completely ; ;. I think I'll end up walking mostly everywhere unless I'm in a rush.

    And FFXI's attention to detail and scenery was just absolutely amazing!

    I hate those videos, simply because they make me nostalgia HARD over FFXI. I truly hope this game gets that kind of attention to detail.
