New airships only automatic retainer ventures

It starts out basically the same as the garrison missions that World of Warcraft has been doing for the past year, but will be expanded on so that we actually get to travel at some later point in the expansion. While I'm not looking forward to the initial concept, I like the idea that SE might slap Blizzard in the face with a "this is how you do it properly" sometime around 3.1 or 3.2. Take your competitor's idea and make it much better... that's basically what made WoW money in the first place.

I'll reserve judgement I guess. Lots of other content to do anyway. I just don't expect much at this point. Maybe something amazing will happen. But i wont be surprised if that 3.1 airship patch gets...delayed.

A feature locked behind FC housing should be neither extensive nor elaborate. Your FC (if you have a house) gets to work toward something small and nifty as a group.

this would be an issue if they had said "all" airship content was coming at release, but they have said far in advance and multiple times that the airship system will be expanded upon on a patch by patch basis. First patch (3.0) build rank and explore/ think next is some kinda gathering system implementation then after that we get to board and potentially find new land masses to explore and find unique nodes mobs elites etc on.

To lazy to look it up but im sure someone ill post one of the airship interviews at some point :P mostly just wanted to say i too feel like "that game" has failed to deliver on alot of what was promised but i don't think its fair to bring their failures against this dev team.

I feel like they have totally missed the point in what the players like about airships in FF games.

I don't need a new proxy for retainer ventures. I don't need another cutscene to watch. I want to BE ON the airship dammit!

Umm that's just the 1st part of many to come out for this.. Or have you need been reading up on the other updates for 3.1 and 3.2? In 3.1 you will use them to fly to open world raids and fight with other to kill big boss and fight over them with other guides/groups. They will also be used in the masiv pvp maps l8tre down the line if SE keeps to there timeline. But then again they said the same about open would pprimels 2 years ago and there still not here.

But over all you can't ask SE to give you 100% of something right out the gate when you will alrdy have 100other things to do to pass the time for 4/6 weeks o.o

But seriously, when SE mentions something, don't expect it to come out next patch.
