Sooo...Question...

What is the purpose of letting us take Airships when you can just teleport everywhere? It's like...a very lazy way of trying to bring life into the lifeless Eorzea.

It's not really for us. It's story that they are opening their borders to the other nations.

I know some people who are very fanatic of penny pinching. They'll gladly take airships and run everywhere to save a few gil, constantly chastising me for wasting gil while I reply "Opportunity cost."

Though, I'm the gillionaire, and they're scrapping around in the couple mil range.

How much gil would you be saving?

Penny pinching? In this game? When you can make easy gil daily? I mean, that seems very...odd.

So you take the Airship. Attune. Then never take it again cause you can teleport.

RPers use them too.

So..There's no real reason to use Airships other than to RP and to save maybe 200 gil a trip? o:

I like to use them when I'm already in cities and going to another one. More so when going to Ul'dah since you can go to Gold Saucer from any city for free, and from there another free trip to Ul'dah.

People use Airships. I do myself occasionally. If Im going from say Gridania to Limsa I its about 300 gil cheaper to spend 1 minute getting to the Airship and using it instead. I don't think it was intended to try and bring life to anything. Infact I think its actually been requested a few times that Ishgard get added to the Airship routes.

Not sure why it would be an issue. Adding a new Airship route takes almost no resources from development and has no real drawbacks. Its not like its supposed to be a really big deal. I mean you could argue there is an issue with Eorzea being lifeless but this particular thing has nothing to do with that.

Would you prefer they didn't add the route at all? Why?

When you're not good at making gil you gotta hold onto what you have I guess.
