You are playing the wrong game if you think that content like this will be designed around people who actually enjoy things other than farming, crafting, mercing, and manipulating the AH.

Cash shop only for $1000. Splitting with your FC is recommended. You will also need Ixal Beast Rank to 20. All crafting materials for cosmetics is locked until rank 20.
Just kidding :P
Because it's a Free Company feature, it'll probably be in the region of 100,000,000 gil.
I'm guessing we'll get the black chocobo/single person airships relatively easily or as part of the story.
It sounds like a lot of the content from the expansion will be locked behind having access to flight. They will not force players to farm millions of gil to access what will probably be a majority of the content that is on the disk that they just purchased.
As far as fc airships, I'm sure those will require some advanced crafting. We've been told all ready that we will be building FC airships.
It would be nice if they'd come in different sizes or something, like the houses, so also small FCs can have the opportunity to actually try it.
Oh I'm sure it'll be set to something ludicrous, after which there'll be another explosion of topics on the boards, just like the housing debacle.
Please look forward to it!
The amount of unnecessary abbreviating in the OP's post is driving me insane.
