Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

I walk all over the place. I agree that if you Teleport, you miss out on so much good stuff.

Yup, there's a really nice glowing cave in Thanalan that I'd have missed if I'd teleported straight to Ul'dah from Gridania.

As for SW: TOR, I had every intention of getting that and playing it a lot till I got FFXIV. I really love star wars, got most of the games, all the movies, even one of the ancient return of the jedi light up lightsabers with sound and it still works.

But I dunno, I've never been quite so enthralled in an MMO as what FFXIV has, plus I can see an immense amount of potential in it and I just hope S.E can use that potential to it's fullest. Star Wars is all stuff I've already seen.

Plus in a choice between cat-girls and twi'leks, I'd rather be a cat-girl

<-- that one

But most of my crafts are mid teens to 20, and a few different battle classes are mixed ranks. I used Konata to feel out what each thing was like then made a judged decision on what i wanted Konata to do. I only finished making that decision in full about the start of this week so I haven't had time to build up many ranks yet.

your nuts lol, so the repeatable quests we get that are useless grinds... those are where we get locked from using it? i think i'd teleport to gamestop for a new mmo in a second over this. it should like some said the opposite of this, instant no anima ports for the leves and locals and then it ports you back to city. horrible horrible. lol.

You'd leave an mmo just 'cos you had to spend an extra 5 minutes running something?

If there is another MMO that I can enjoy about as much and doesn't waste my time... I might.

You mean to say that is not the purpose of an MMO to begin with? :O

I mean to say there is a sweetspot and MMOs that fail at finding it will be less successful and likely die.

5minutes, 8times, every 1.5days? and it's not just 5mins, ...one u'r saying run from city to location. that will take waaaaay more then 5minutes. it's a few mins just to go from say drybone to halitali or bw to halitali. to run to someplace like iron lake from city...is not 5mins. and again it's 8times for something that is grinding. adding running to grind is useless. running to places should only be for things that take u deep into big things. run to hnm so everyone ain't just porting right to it like the dodore or buffalo. sure. ..run all way threw boyda to do a quest, sure. run back and forth for grinding repeatable quests is ludicrous. i'd happily leave over this for a game one that uses my time wisely and entertainingly.

K, that pretty much labels that idea as a bad one.

Chocobos however...
