From what I read earlier in the thread, I was thinking the cutscene would only be temporary until they work out a system like XI's. So now it's confirmed the cutscene is staying and it's skippable? Or am I reading it wrong?

You can choose once both methods are implemented, since the CS version is easier to implement that'll be the only option atm. When they update it again they'll allow for the option to either watch a dinky CS or even skip the CS if they want to save time or for those who have time on their hand they can enjoy the scenery of flying the airship.
Hopefully they actually implement events into the scenery portion of it so it becomes more then just a nice view. Otherwise it'll be forgotten quite quickly once people enjoy once or twice lol.
Outrage!
I wish they'd concentrate on making a more static world rather than what makes gameplay more convenient. Make me a role playing game where I get to play the role of someone in another WORLD, not where I play the role of a gamer trying to grind and get awesome gear.
(Of course grinding is necessary but give me context to make it worth it.)
Boo don't like this response. Sorry but I'm not for catering to the "let's skip everything crowd". I like to enjoy things and if it's just an instant teleport always, that won't make sense and will kill the immersion. So person A gets instant warped while person B is arriving 5 minutes later? No no no.. that's just, just.. no
Airships are a staple of the Final Fantasy series. If people don't want to enjoy them, they MAY be in the wrong place.
I say make these ships right, not just a cutscene.
This is a terrible decision. They can't please every crowd with this game just by giving them options. If this was a single player game I could understand but this is an MMO. 8o% of the people in the world have no passion and no patience. Give these people the chance to have things their way and they'll ruin it for everyone else.
Can we do the same with the ferry please? I'd love to be able to skip that.
Options are a wonderful thing because not everyone will play the game the same way you do but doesn't mean they appreciate the game any less. It's nice to be able to "opt out" of events because dying on the ship from Sea Horror or whatever random occurance when you just wanted to get somewhere was not fun at all. Playing it safe and sitting in the bottom part of the ship was pretty much skipping the boat trip anyway. The airship ride will be a nice view but I don't want to have to wait through it every single time. When they add events to it there will be incentive to stay through the trip.
i cant say i agree with the decision to make the cut scene skipable. even if we can't freely explore; at least make it an even wait for everyone. if people really cant wait 3 minutes or so for a cut scene or two then they will be happy to use anima
So we can fast travel on airships?
Score. Thanks, Yoshida. :D
Meh. Not liking the response then. I think Anima should be there for those who want to fast travel. Leave the ferry and airships as an interactive experience. So much can be added.
