One to Fifty, One Zone - Long OP

[Maya_Yam]

I think some people are misunderstanding YoshiP's comment. He specifically said that the airship will not fly over the actual map.

実MAP上を飛行するシステムではないです

I think that most people would have assumed something similar to FF11's airship anyway, but maybe he just wanted to make sure that people who haven't played 11 weren't expecting some pre-FF10 style user-controlled system.

From my other thread:

こんばんは。プロデューサ/ディレクタの吉田です。
Good Evening, Producer/Director Yoshida here.

引き続き活発なディスカッションありがとうございます。
飛空艇についてはご期待も色々あると思いますが、まずは移動問題解消を優先し、
実装コストを考えて、専用MAPがあって長時間の空の旅をお楽しみ頂く…というような仕様にはなりません。
突発的に発生するイベントなりが存在しないと、あまり面白くはないだろうと思っているからです。
いずれ拡張はしていきますが、まずは移動対応を優先、とお考えください（演出はつけます＾＾；）。
Thanks for continuing the discussion on this topic.
Regarding the airship, I understand everyone has different expectations but for now want to resolve the traveling issue first and looking at cost, it wont be where it has it's own map and long time to enjoy the adventure in the skies.
I think it would be more interesting if it had events that suddenly happens and stuff.
Please think of this as something to make traveling easier for now; in time we will add more/upgrade to this (Will add effect/animation^^; ).

アニマの問題についても、3国間飛空艇+マウントシステムとバランスを考えて調整が必要です。
今単純に緩和してしまうと、将来的な移動バランスを崩壊させかねないと思っています。
（単純緩和だと当たり前の移動手段が揃ったときに制限がかけにくくなります。
不便へと戻すパッチはMMOではご法度ですし）問題であるとは強く認識しています。
マウントの情報が出せるまでは、今しばらくかかりますが、もう少々お待ちください。
Regarding the anima issue, it will require adjustments to and balancing to the mount system and the 3 country air ships. (making quick changes will make it harder to add restrictions later time, not good thing to do in a MMO) I understand this is a big issue.
It will be some more time but please wait a bit more regarding mount information.

数人の方が触れている「リーヴバランス」についてですが、1.18から改修が始まります。
今後のコンテンツバランスも含め、かなりの長文になるので、
今週リリースするプロデューサーレターでご報告の予定です！
The issue some are talking about "Leve Balance" repair work will start from 1.18.
I'm planning to release a producer letter this week which will be talking about future content balance (long description/text) !

EDIT: changed text color to blue on the part about airship. Most likely we'll see when airship comes in and lands, like how ship has animation when it leaves port. But for now nothing else since he wants to add fun stuff onto it before he releases it and making it hard to do later + due to cost.

Ah, yeah I had read your translation a while back. Thanks for the update!

Oh, that part definitely peaked my interest! Yes, that would total be more interesting.

I made it to the end! Wow.. That was like a book.

Great thread, awesome ideas, brilliant OP. Definitely liked and I know it's old news now but it took me so long to read through all the posts... I just had to say something!

Definitely an epic post. Never too late to show your support!

Hmmmmmmmmm

[mikefmc]

*thumbs up* i hope something like this happens!

[Irana]

Dear god I still remember my journy to qufim! it was so long! and painful! getting to jeuno wasnt easy either! finding the entrance to crawler's nest! dear god!

Now in this game theres no zones...the worlds have no interesting names nor do you need to know em to party...

It worries me, yes. it worries me a lot.

[Innes]

definitely a great system in ffxi, to push players to new areas.
from west ronfaure, to valkurm"the dunes", to jeuno and onward.
especially, seeing higher levels riding their chocobos to distance lands, or watching airships float awaym and knowing you'll have to make it there someday. but not now. now, you fight your way though the current area.

i do see how the black shroud, thanalan, and lanoscea keep players in, 1-50/99.
this is probably to keep players occupied until SE releases their hoards of content.

still. GREAT OP.
