I am so happy the airship ride is short!!!

If they make the ferry a cut scene as well then you can't fish there :(

Boat rides were longer like aht ughan boat ride is 15 mins, but you had that little break to set up crap, grab some food, do whatever. If time is a concern for you, you will be using anima, they said chocobos and airships are really just for to alleviate anima stress, casual/short time players will use anima and its an instant. Why complain?

1. If you had 5 minutes to go AFK on the ship, you had 5 minutes to go AFK anywhere. If your mind needs an excuse to be able to peel yourself off of the game...
2. Airship ride + waiting for it was easily ~15 mins wait
3. Anima as it is now goes too fast, maybe at some point it won't be so precious but until then...
4. Traveling between towns is needed so much because of guilds, leves, guildmark hunting, etc.

your pony is fight? well my horse is amazing so bring it on!!!

who doesn't want insta-travel lol

super-short airship ride!!!?? So you are happy that instead of shouting "2k for tele to uld" you now get to pay 2k to an npc to tele to another city @_@ only difference is a cutscene you will get bored of after 2482 airship rides.

I was so excited to be able to see the beautiful world of ffxiv from a birdseye view!! That would be AMAZING! And not to mention random airship enemy encounters!!!! lol

I'm just gonna hope that they really do make it longer in the future, I guess what they're doing now is just a quick-fix (i can only hope) to help calm the crowd

And seeing the world from a birdseye view won't get boring after 2482 airships rides too?

IMO they will keep instatravel as an option for people who only want to get to the other town.

That's funny.. I didn't see anyone say they wanted it to be 10 minutes.
And I don't believe "not instant" = "10 minutes" either.
The power of exaggeration is strong with this one. :x

There is nothing more awesome than standing on an airship, doing nothing for some period of time. In fact, I am going to look for this type of time sink in all MMO's I play and rage if its not present. I love it when developers waste my life.

In all seriousness, they could just make an option

1. instant airship cost more than non instant airship

For those of us who don't want to wait, pay the 1st class fee. I would pay it, EVERYTIME!

I am going by XI since it's our closest reference. /shrug

I like it too

This game need to be less realistic

too much realistic = too slow & boring gameplay

Exactly.

Gameplay should always be king, and everything else take a backseat.

Airship that take 3-4 minutes would be nice, and there should be atleast two airship travelling at the same time in the same route so people don´t need to wait to much. Events and minigames could be added to the boats and even special rewards. I really like the idea of random monster attack.Instant travell as an option looks like a good idea to me if people dont want to wait.

Atleast this is what I would like.

I just went thru this and liked all the Pony posts... and i shall

The OP till they resist no more!

I goto agree with the OP I'm actually happy to, especially that it is only temp, means I get to look forward to airships twice, not just once. :D
Oh wait.. Sorry OP! :p

But instead of laughing at the douches who think we should be forced to waste our time in an airship we should be happy that SE is giving us the chance to choose instead of limiting us to either way.

They need to not waste their time on making the airship travel thing then. If they are going to make it instant 99.999% of the playerbase will only use instant.. So any development farther is wasted time.

They seem to be planning content around airship travel beyond just sitting on it and looking at the world below.

I must say I am pleased. Though I still dont see the point of having anima and instant travel airship at the same time ^^; but thats my only argument and well, Yoshi doesnt feel its right sooo ... lets all party and celebrate airship will remain instant! wooooooo.

Oh well... lol

IMO it's very simple, since by design you need to jump between towns A LOT, they want us to do it without stressing out our anima supply. And since airships are so important in the FF universe having instatravel by airship seems a more appealing option than simply making town-to-town teleports 0 anima.
