Personally for me it does not spoil my sense of immersion. If I have time and am not in any particular rush I run wherever I need to go and conserve my anima. This way I get to see the scenery along the way; when we get chocobos this type of travel- i.e. not just porting with anima- may become more popular and players will see more of the world and feel "part" of it.

If I'm in a hurry when they release the airships then I will take this option instead (along with using anima, depending on where I need to get to obviously), and having it arrive instantly is not going to spoil my gameplay. To me it will just have the same feel as teleporting- or any other type of outpost, assault or BCNM warping to a dungeon or area that there was in FFXI. If they want to put a 5min or 10min timer on it in the future fine- I'll just go and pop the kettle on
