Well, everyone would love a mission/fight like that. Hope they introduce it soon.

Given the context of "no map" it reads as it won't be a "zone" type of deal in it's initial implementation, which FFXI's airships was a semi-instanced map. More than likely given how the ferry in XIV currently is pretty badly designed they probably decided against it at the start and will flesh it out more down the line.

Kind of like how in FFIX you take the transport around Lindblum and it's nothing more than a quick transport without seeing said transition. It's just when you translate it the context is hard to fully to hard and in the letter it'll likely be more explained.

最後に3国の飛空挺移動（実MAP上を飛行するシステムではないです）はMAP大改修前になんとかします！
パッチ1.19に間に合うよう、頑張りますので、今しばらくお待ちください！

My japanese is crap but I feel like what that is saying is that the Airship will not fly over the "actual map". In other words, it will not be part of the map that players play in. Meaning it will be its own instance.

It will probably be exactly like FFXI and/or the boat to Limsa.

Exactly as I was thinking :D

And also play something like this " at least for me :P" and I will be happy sitting on the Airship as I fly to Limsa! :D

Which is exactly what XI's airship does, as while it's a part of it's own map, it's also a part of the map where it's route goes through, e.g if you're enroute to Jeuno from bastok you can see it fly pass Rolanberry Fields if you're standing near Jeuno and if you're enroute from Sandy you can see it flying past Batallia and so on. Given the fact the world is "seamless" it more than likely won't be in that design. So it still won't be exactly the same, since even though it's a small thing, it's just more world atmosphere that won't be present in initial implementation.

Which is why I said it will likely be more explained, but the general context seems that it will be "lifeless" at the start like the ferry is or like how IX's aircab's were.

I like how they said a main character from other FF's will be appearing soon and everyones like, it will be cid!, no no no, it will be Bahamut!!!. LOl they already said an Ifrit fight is otw. My money is on them refering to Ifrit.

Also, someone said earlier that we dont need a mailbox system. /slap Clearly you never playerd xi or maybe you just dont have friends in the game that live in other cities. Because I would freaking LOVE to have a mailbox system in this game so that I could send mats to friends that need them without them being online or in the same zone as me. Saying we dont need one because of RMT activity is lame.

Doesn't necessarily imply he's a bad guy, even though he's been one in a past FF title, since other innocent Garlond Ironworkers have fled from Garlemald in the popular sidequests in each main city. However, it is possible, he flees from there too and comes to one of the major cities in an update or what not?

I don't think he'd be in Ishgard, since all the Ishgardians are Elezeen, as far as I know. But who knows for sure?

---

Not that I am doubting you or anything, but could you tell me where it says that all the Ishgardians are Elezen? I'd be interested in learning more on Ishgard. Is it in one of the later missions? I guess I will eventually see it then if it is.

But in that case, Im still sticking with Cid being the character. The mention of airships coming, and a mention of a familiar character is all too coincidental to me!

I'm not sure I consider Summons as "Characters", weather its Bahamut Ifirt or Cid. I can careless.. I will be happy =)

This made me LOL.

Depends, I think mainly FFIV, FFVI and FFXI you could consider them characters as they were more than one hit wonders in those games.
