It might only be me but they really ruin the sense that you're in a city. I know they wanted to make everything really fast in FFXIV but this is one thing I've never liked. Were a lot of people asking for aethernets to travel in seconds? Just feels like they make the cities too small and you never get a real sense of the city. For example Ishgard is basically Forgotten knight, crozier, and astrologicum. But if we actually had to move around we would move around other areas to get to other areas.

Just feels like one of those things that are here to stay but was a bad decision.
