If van darnas is riding around in fuel spaceships...

There's an option now (Configuration -> Sound) for enabling and disabling Sound while riding a mount.

Good to know, thanks. Missed that.

All magitek in Eorzea that wasn't built by Garlemald was designed by the Garlond Ironworks, and they can only build so much at a time. With so many chocobos (with which the economy is linked), I imagine the magitek mounts are low-priority for their team's R&D.

How many trains are running through Thanalan? At least one of the track systems belongs to the Empire and rolls right into their Thanalan castrum.

You're welcome! :3

A little off topic, sorry for that, but is it just me or do especially Goobbue run slower than in 1.0? Or is it just their different kind of moving? I kind of prefer their old way of running :/

[Alerith]

The three nations and probably Ishgard aren't really Magitek savvy. It took Cid defecting from the Garlean Empire to start introducing it's mechanical genius to Eorzea.

Goobbuetech > Magitech

Also, yes.

An NPC in Ul'dah says that she has an idea for a two wheeled carriage that you power using your own legs!

... but why not just get a chocobo?

The cut scenes remind me of episode IV of Star Wars...

Well, why don't you ride a horse instead of ride a bike?

Soooo much slower. Ran a race with my lady. I was on my Goobbue and she was on the GC chocobo. She won by a malm.

[Lucke]

Has anyone noticed that chocobo carriages don't have wheels? Instead, they hover over the ground with the help of what I guess is helium balloons. That same technology is on Eorzean airships. They have some giant hot air balloon looking thing hanging off one side of the ship.

Does Eorzea even have electricity yet? Are all the light posts torches? Now, I dunno if it's just because of the graphics engine, but all the light posts I've seen in Thanalan don't flicker like fire light does, which means that at least Ul'dah may use some form of electric lighting.

*summons the Ferne signal*

I'm wondering just how technologically advanced Eorzea is. Does it use oil for a power source? Maybe wind or solar power? I think I've seen some mechanical engines around, either in the mines, or maybe the airships have some kind of an engine for propulsion and it uses that hot air balloon thing to get altitude? hmmm, interesting...

[Mika-Azatori]

the Garleans doesn't allow the 3 states in eorzea to get on with technology because the empire want it for garlemald only lol
It was already said in the old story that Cid was bringing the most technology to eorzea because he is from Garlemald.
And that's why the Garleans hunting Cid because he is a traitor in thier eyes.
