Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

i dont think it will be a serious threat to FFXIV though because there aren't -that- many people into it

Indeed, the differences between Warhammer 40k and FFXIV are huge and abundant. One is a violent sci-fi set in the future with spaceships and different planets, the other is a fantasy game with scorcery, swordfighting and kingdoms. All down to personal preference, but I imagine there's more FFXIV players that prefer it's fantasy genre over playing a sci-fi.

If you meant that there weren't too many people into Warhammer 40k though you'd be wrong. I go into a nearby Games Workshop quite regularly and it's always packed full of people, with new people coming in all the time. W40k - Dawn Of War really helped to promote it as a franchise as a lot more people started getting into the tabletop game after playing that, from my experience of talking to new tabletop players.

All I read was the first page of this thread. From that all I can say is that everyone on the first page needs to purchase a dictionary, because from most of the posts its clear 90% here don't even comprehend the meaning of the word "immersion"

see thats a really epic example of a game successfully pulling off immersion. I've played it for 5ish hours and had a lot of fun.

paperboy was immersive. I think a new paperboy on the wii would be epic where you could toss the papers with the wii remote, and drive different vehicles (ex. bike, car, tank)

Lots of people like feeling immersed, even if it means waiting in line for over 9000 hours..
