Way better boat ride now!

[Alzelia]

Does it actually move like real water, where your boat bobs up and down and the water has varying height, or is it still a flat plane where the boat just kind of "flies" through it?

The boat doesn't bob or anything, but the water has waves

Needs moar pirate attacks.

They should add fish and/or sea mammals jumping in/out of the water in the distance like they did in XI. Was a very nice touch, IMO.

Ok all we need now is
- Fishing
- Random mob attacks (like the LL opening but with more npcs on deck fighting)
- Bobbing boat
- Access to other parts the ship with random npc passengers (again like the LL intro)
- occasional pirate attack (when you have 5+ people on hte boat at the same time)

As much as its pure fluff, I WANTS MORE FLUFF CONTENT!

But nice work so far

agreed. Fluff content makes the game feel alive. Pirate attacks were by far one of my favorite things in XI. You're riding the boat...chilling...everything is calm...SUDDENLY! You have 2 options, stay topside and either destroy or be destroyed or run below deck like a little sissy.

Played XI for 6 years.
Took the ferry thousands of times.
Never got attacked by pirates, not even once. I hat to see it in a youtube video after years because I thought my LS was just making it up.

Please SE, let me experience one of those pirate (maybe imperial) attacks in FFXIV T.T

Actually I had no idea they did pirate attacks in FFXI lol.
Though i only played for a short time, to much standing about waiting for a group for me.

The ride is a lot better and if they keep expanding upon it with the ideas suggested by posters above me I'm sure it will be wonderful. That said there is already pirate ship models in game. The right side is fixed, but if you go at night there is a really weird moon effect on the water. the reflection of the moon goes around in circles.
