Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

Or, more rationally, it's a temp fix just like they have already stated, and they will later (after the map redesign) be made a full instance with content included. It's just a placeholder.

I wonder why they bothered with spending the time making the airship cutscenes and everything though. A far more rational aproach would have just to set anima costs for City-City warps to 0 for the time being.
