Aethernets (breaks immersion)

[JunseiKei]

Lore-wise, aethernets are there for the denizens of Hydaelyn to enjoy comforts instead of taking half a day to a day just to walk to the crozier from the gates of Ishgard. It's no different than us using elevators, cars or bikes. Only it's magic and almost-instant.

(Ok. Slight exaggeration. Took me 43 minutes in Eorzean time to go from the gate next to Skysteel Factory to the gatekeeper NPC while walking. Actual walking, no passing through NPCs, walking down stairs like I would in icy weather, not jumping over ledges like I'm a parkour addict. On a ninja, so I was actually travelling a little faster.)
