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

Thank you SE. The boat ride from LL to Ul'dah is 20 FREAKING mins. Thats way to long. I want to get places not watch the water do the same effects 1 year after. i think the boat ride should be changed to a CS as well.

It doesn't take 20 min on the Ferry - it doesn't even take full 10 min. Don't exaggerate ;P

You know that the instant travel for airship is temporary right? It's been stated already.

Even if you are for or against it, the fact remains that it is temporary.

This thread is now about ponies


/ponies

I like this but then again i don't that 20min is like a break to go get something to eat and get stuff done. So i'm all for having it 20min.

GRRRRR THIS THREAD MAKE SHYD ANGRY!!!

the boat ride is that way on purpose.. its made so people can fish off it..

temporary airship is temporary. enjoy your 10 minute airship ride post 1.21 champ.

I like brown and white ponies!

Now we just need to find out how much it cost to travel on them and if there will be a timed schedule they will run on.

I thought it was way too long, too, and then I realized I could talk to the ship captain. We talk about many things.

MY PONY IS FIGHT.

This thread is now about 90s cartoons

/Rocko's modern life

(Also, when can I build my own airship and fight it against others?)

I want the 10 min (it's more like 6 min). I sure hope the air ships are somewhat big like the ferries, having lower levels and rooms.

sorry it's seem to be small lol noting like the one in FFXI there base of Old school wood type airship this one seem small and not that cool but w/e i can care less as long as it take me to Point A--> B

In that picture it is somewhat far away. I would say that it looks about 40-60' long.

For now, please enjoy airships as a method of transportation and look forward to what’s coming! ^_^

So no need to have this topic open anymore.

The airships in FF11 look about 150 feet long, the airships in FF14 look about 1/3 of XI's. I was just making sure that no one thought that the airships were going to be the size of a rowboat. (^_^)

Eh whatever guy. You can spend your *life* screwing around on long air ship rides, I would rather spend it doing something more productive.

I am so happy the airship is short too! This is such a relief. Please keep it this way between city states. This is so awesome and a great decision in my opinion.

Cant wait for them to change it to non-instant flights later on... Teleportation is for the instant if you want that.

I cant wait either. Airships rides were never intended as instant travel flights, regardless of how much they will take when they implement it fully, we already have instant travel in the game.

Want to go to LL, Gridania or Ul'dah instantly? teleport to the aetherial plaza there~! =D

People don't know the word "temporary" that much do they?

Why yes... im imagining a peddle powered rowboat with helicopter propellers and you steer with the oars. Sounds like a pleasant trip =D

hope Yoshida has better sense than to listen to the kind of loonies who want travel between towns to come with a 10 minutes wait. This game is troubled enough without wasting people's time.

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

This is what I dont understand. Instant travel "for people who only want to get to the other town" is already implemented in the game since release. It is a burden now only because there is nothing else to balance it out, we either teleport or we walk... everyone that has no time will always teleport out efectively reducing anima to zero most of the times on extended play sessions through out the week.

Having other method of transportation will even out all these issues we have. We will have options provided to us, instant travel (anima), travel between cities by airship (like the ferry? 5 mins travel maybe?) and faster than walking travel (chocobo). There is no need for two instant travel methods in the game, in my opinion.

Problem is, people who want to instantly get where they're going aren't going to use the "other options" because they take 9 million years to get somewhere. So in effect, it's like they aren't even adding other options, it's either Anima or taking a long time to go somewhere, unless Chocobos happen to be quick.

Of course, if Chocobos are fast they actually will outdo Airships with their archaic 10 minute ferry-esque travel times. I imagine someone with Quick/Quickstride could probably outrun a 10 minute wait from say, Ul'dah to Gridania, let alone a Chocobo.

Short?
It's virtually nonexistant.

I think town-to-town should be a special case of instatravel since the multiclass design of the game pretty much results in we having business in more than one town.

You know you can do that at ANY FRICKING time you choose to?! You dont need to be actually forced to waste 10~20 min getting somewhere to have a "break".

Sad part is he might need it, no eating or WCing unless the game says so!

Since it is airship, it should be fast. I don't think it should be longer than 5 min, even after patch 1.21

In XI I liked that if you left a little earlier than the rest of your party for Kazhaam, you had a good 5 mins to take a break. No airship was over 10 mins long in XI, if I remember they were all closer to 5. 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?
