Way better boat ride now!

It actually feels like the ferry is moving!

Did they fix the water texture on the right side of the boat?

Does the water in the distance actually move in the correct direction now?

Screen shot? I've been hovering at "5:09" time remaining for uhm. An hour.

My favourite weather is the lightning storm on the boat ride.
Fixing the sea makes it even more epic.

Sorry no screens, but its a completely new water, with reflections off the waves, and it stretches out and blends in with the Horizon very well

Sounds awesome. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will update sometime in the next week or two. -.-

Does it actually move like real water, where your boat bobs up and down and the water has varying height, or is it still a flat plane where the boat just kind of "flies" through it?

Sounds like you may have to go the torrent route.

The boat still kind of "flies" through it but it actually looks like you're moving now.

The boat doesn't bob or anything, but the water has waves

Needs moar pirate attacks.

They should add fish and/or sea mammals jumping in/out of the water in the distance like they did in XI. Was a very nice touch, IMO.

Ok all we need now is
- Fishing
- Random mob attacks (like the LL opening but with more npcs on deck fighting)
- Bobbing boat
- Access to other parts the ship with random npc passengers (again like the LL intro)
- occasional pirate attack (when you have 5+ people on hte boat at the same time)

As much as its pure fluff, I WANTS MORE FLUFF CONTENT!

But nice work so far :D

agreed. Fluff content makes the game feel alive. Pirate attacks were by far one of my favorite things in XI. You're riding the boat...chilling...everything is calm...SUDDENLY! You have 2 options, stay topside and either destroy or be destroyed or run below deck like a little sissy.

Played XI for 6 years.
Took the ferry thousands of times.
Never got attacked by pirates, not even once. I hat to see it in a youtube video after years because I thought my LS was just making it up.

Please SE, let me experience one of those pirate (maybe imperial) attacks in FFXIV T.T

Actually I had no idea they did pirate attacks in FFXI lol.
Though i only played for a short time, to much standing about waiting for a group for me.

The ride is a lot better and if they keep expanding upon it with the ideas suggested by posters above me I'm sure it will be wonderful. That said there is already pirate ship models in game. The right side is fixed, but if you go at night there is a really weird moon effect on the water. the reflection of the moon goes around in circles.

Maybe one day we could have our own boat and be pirates? That'd be sweet...

Did they add islands and stuff so it's representative of what appears on the world map?

Starting with Catdog and after, that's where I consider the start of the more recent generation of cartoons.

It looks the same to me in that shot. Ima have to ride the boat and see for myself.

The water seems like it moves faster but, overall it looks the same. I only rode it once but I didn't notice the z-fighting/draw order issue on the right side of the boat.

Thanks Shey! You're great! Now we need some jellies, orobons, and other random sea creatures attacking the ship. OH and Buccaneers!

hate to say but the boat... still feels way to stiff, it's not bounching of the waves.
Ships bounce from side to side in water no matter what, waves splashing against the hull etc.
Something i look forward to being enhanced one day.

But.... the pace of the waves / ship's movment feels / looks better now. (Atleast it dosent feel like we riding a non moving ship)

Did anyone else have problems with your game freezing/crashing when you're on the boat...? Happens to me all the time. Typically my cilent would crash 3-5 times in one boat ride.

Being ambushed in the middle of a peaceful ferry ride was exciting every now and then.

Haha, excellent! I remember the fun times of running down and seeing the boats in XI board and I'm telling myself "pleasedontleavepleasedontleavepleasedon-NOOOOOOO!" just as I'm about to make it to the thing.
