Does instant transportation effect game immersion?

Frankly, if you're worried about 'game immersion' get a life. That is all.

"Molly Millions", if that is your real name, most people play games for fun. And I guess immersion contributes to fun. Or at the very least, it contributes to engagement.

And anyway, maybe if the game was sooooo utterly immersive, then nobody would even need a life, because they could just live in FFXIV.

Ain't that the goal?

Nope. The goal is to make money for SE.

People aren't gonna pay for something that's boring.

Did I not just explain how anima can make the game boring too?

It's all about balance, child.

A. I bet I'm older than you.

B. People find long car rides boring. I like driving, and I think long car trips are fun.


It's about subjectivity, kiddo.

Many are, dear, senile though they may be.

Game parameters cannot be coded subjectively, unfortunately.

I would argue that one does not have to be 'immersed' in a game to have fun with it.

It seems to me that folks toss around this argument, because they have no other logical argument for their ideas/preferences.

I would argue that teleporting from quest objective to quest objective is pretty boring too.

Anima has its uses, but it also has its abuses.

Uses and abuses yes. If you don't like the system implimented or what it can be 'abused' for but abuse it anyways, that's your own fault. Duuh.
