I do wonder what use we will have for airships. If it's travel, by free flying well be able to get from point A to point B in 10 seconds cause Eorzea isn't really that big even on foot. That's 9 seconds slower than teleporting @____@; I'm hoping for aerial zones and battles and floating cities. Getting flashbacks of my time in Allods now :x
Well, according to Square Enix, in a Letter from Dev,
Q: What are the advantages of making things in your underground workshop?
A: You'll be able to build airships and go adventuring with them. We were stuck on deciding whether to go with boats or airships, but we decided to go with airships first. We'd also like to do boats, but for now crafters will be able to gather together and build airships in these underground workshops. We'd like to introduce this before the first expansion.
