Dragon's Dogma 2 Director Criticizes Fast Travel in Games

Hideaki Itsuno Encourages Developers to Make Travel Interesting, Reveals Limited Fast Travel Options in Upcoming Game

Dragon's Dogma 2 director, Hideaki Itsuno, criticizes the use of fast travel in games, suggesting it's a sign of a boring game.
Instead of relying on fast travel, Itsuno wants players to explore the game's world, with developers making normal travel interesting.
Dragon's Dogma 2 will have two fast travel options, but both come with caveats to make players less reliant on them.
Players can teleport to Port Crystals using rare Ferrystone items, or use Oxcarts that can be ambushed by enemies.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is set to be released on March 22, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
