Square Enix: "Lets make every second quest an escort quest and have the NPCs glitch out at least 10 times before reaching the destination, not follow aetheryte transport and reset to the other side of the world if you run too far away from them!"

The only thing that makes running from A to B more dull is by limiting the ways of transport. I appreciate the extra bits of dialogue occasionally offered, but was this really the best way?
