Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

[Gennosuke]

Chocobo =
1. Get there fast without teleporting
2. Fun and enjoyable aspect
3. Happy music

Airship =
1. Get there fast without teleporting
2. Get to admire the scenery
3. Fun and enjoyable aspect
4. Happy music
5. save anima in case you do need to teleport for some reason in the future

Teleporting =
1. Get there NAOW!
2. Allows groups to do a large amount of things in a short amount of time
3. Convenient for teleporting to and from a city for repairs whilst in the middle of a leve etc.

Running =
1. Get to admire the scenery
2. Allows for plenty of time to chat in an LS inbetween doing things
3. Best way to save anima in case you do need to teleport for some reason in the future

Downside to running:
Person 1: "Hey, we're gonna go do a dungeon, wanna come?"
Person 2: "Sure, just give me 20 minutes to run there"
Person 1: "Nevermind"

It seems you have forgotten to complete your list there, or was that intentional?
I've added in the missing part.

Except you didn't fix it correctly. You could choose an express option or the longer option.

Concept can be seen in the thread below:

Future Chocobo Ideas Thread

[Azurymber]

can we just end this thread now :x Konachibi has pretty well won

[Konachibi]

Indeed.

Note the WITHOUT!!!!

I've already decided I'm just gonna ride chocobos, I'll teleport if I absolutely must get somewhere quickly for reasons that would justify using 3 whole anima.

[Conkuur]

If the zones weren't all copy and paste I would say yeah it ruins immersion, BUT in any game you eventually see everything anyway and so transportation becomes a must. I can't tell you how many times I have run out of Anima and needed to walk a long way to my next destination and I just logged and called it a day. I think the Boat trip is to long and holds no fun or excitement. Now if they put special fish to catch or maybe some gil betting games etc it might be worth the long ride.

[Konachibi]

BEHOLD! Justified teleporting!
