[Challenge] Has anyone tried not using teleport?!

[Vidu]

I'm always doing that for 95% of story-quests because it feels more imerssive to me and less rushed (only to a certain degree though - I will teleport from Ishgard to Yanxia instead of making the whole round-trip...)
Since I usually play story-heavy quests (Mainstory, Hilli, seasonal events) with my boyfriend its really nice to get a chance to actually travel through the beautiful zones the game has to offer while chatting about the current events of the story in question. For story-quests it also gives me a feeling of everything being more... connected instead of just hoping from one scene to the next - its more of a journey than.

I wouldnt go a random day without teleport though - I mainly use it to get from one timed node to the next one; something that would be impossible without teleports.

Doesn't happen often, but every now and then I'll do it for fun. It can be quite nice to just enjoy the scenery sometimes. On those days I also run instead of fly whenever it's possible.

All that would do is make it take twice as long to get anything done. This isn't a game that rewards exploration like, say, Elder Scrolls Online.

This isn't a game that rewards exploration like, say, Elder Scrolls Online.

On the contrary, I find exploring the great views of the areas (and they look beautiful to me) reward in and of itself.

closest thing for me is when I'm doing the daily Heavensward and Stormblood hunts, going trough all the zones using only 2 teleports each.
First to Ishgard, then from Dravanian x-lands (depending on what route I took) to Churning Mists at the end
And first to Rhalgr's, then from Lochs to Ruby Sea halfway trough

But now on the first I'm just teleporting around since a: awkward zone transitions and b: I'm drowning in teleport tickets anyway

The first months after the release of ARR it was usefull to save gils. I use more teleport since there are Aetheryte Tickets (Hunt and Grand Companies) and sometimes still use mount or run just because I feel in mood to do so.

[Sigiria]

Yes I did, and I did more actually, not only I didn't teleport but I didn't use any mount at all... back then we just called it playing the v1 though and that was the only way to move around if you ran out of anima.

I used to do Stormwind to Uther Grave runs on foot when I was bored in WoW. Seldom tried to go from one side of Eorzea to the other on foot tho. Should give it a try.

Challenge accepted and done. Long but scenic. But if you truly want a challenge, make a level 1 character and run them to attune with the three major cities and Dragonhead. Never will you be so paranoid of every noise and mob. Good luck!
