Too Weak To Be Worthwhile - Teleporting

[SilverObi]

I understand making the world feel bigger by focusing more on exploration and less on teleporting everywhere. That being said though, I feel we're close to a balance here in terms of playstyle available. I ran from Gridania to Ul'dah just cause I wanted to explore. Did it take a while? A bit but it was fun. Later, I got ported by a friend to Limsa simply cause I didn't have the time at that moment to make a big trek. Do i still run places? Yes, for the most part.

I think just having the option to go for a stroll or bypass it is good enough. As long as both options remain without being railroaded into one, things seem fine to me.

That first run to Jueno was indeed a blast though, XI's world felt big and scary and I hated not having a map lol. I never really felt though being made to run everywhere at first was a challenge per se, more like "well I got nothing but my own two feet so let's do this!". I like a good challenge but walking everywhere when there's quicker alternatives doesn't seem like a challenge, it just seems making things more time consuming than they have to be.
