Spawning on the ship deck

Because there are more important things to fix right now over a useless cosmetic change.

Of course there are, everyone realizes that. But if they start thinking about this now, they can add it to the list of things to investigate after the major stuff have been added and working.

It's not a cosmetic change honestly, it's actually a system change overall.

Things to do on FFXI's Ferry:

(Along with fishing)

Things that are done with FFXI's Airships:

(aside just taking in scenery from city to city)

XIV's airship won't have..anything (confirmed) at initial implementation, so there are indeed important things to do first, but it's not a mere cosmetic change, the ferry is pretty...underutilized and done all around.

As awesome as the ultima/omega and tenzen fights were I hardly think you can include that in things that were done on an airship because they were so out of the norm. Unless you failed those missions you never fought on an airship again, and even then they were story quests that took about 100+ hours of playtime doing previous missions to get to. Any other airship ride was about the same as the boat rides are now, except they only lasted like 4 minutes.
