Where the airship is currently placed, isn't it going to cause a problem of where the ship is going to fly too?
It can't go "round the corner" as a "drive away effect" because the bridges for leaving Gridania are there.
Plus, it's all enclosed by the cliff anyway.
So does that mean the ship is going to go forward very slightly to the middle of the pond and then shoot upwards? :S
Or do you think it will just move forward and then disappear... much like you do when your teleport?
Both ways to me seem a bit, I dunno, fumbly, silly? Doesn't seem to fit.
P.S - this is no way me moaning/QQ'ing - I can't wait for the airships no matter which way they do it.
Wait... Where's the ship in Gridania going to go?

There is already an airship that floats around Grid (like all areas, tho its only up certain conditions), So i assume it will follow the same path. And go up, over the bridges, but not enough to hit the branches as they are far up.

It could, like a hot hair ballon, just float up to a certain altitude and then go from there...
It's not exactly an airplane. -

I know, but it still would look odd.

In the other cities it's going to (I assume) glide into them.
Would make sense as they are open areas.
Seems like gridania would break the style. -

Gridanias airship port is under the adventuruers guild....

Maybe it'll go through a tunnel into the cliff and come shooting out the other end of the tunnel...
Like a Viper launch tube in Battlestar Galactica. -

I'm more concerned that the flight itself is going to be nothing more than a few seconds of skippable cutscene... We can already teleport using anima, y'know.

It goes to those giant airship landing posts across the land (I remember when I first started during the 1st month of the CE that there was one in Skull Valley west of the Aetheryte camp)
