    You should ask this in the live letter thread. Good luck getting it answered though.

    Also, another note (and an admittedly albeit not-so-shameless bump >.>) the vast majority of non-airship machina employing ceruleum drives (IE: Vanguards/Vangobs) also have one or more such drive wheels that not only rotate normally, but ramp up whenever the machine is doing something strenuous like attacking.

    Again this just brings me back to my question .. why static on the airships, especially on the big ones where there are multiple such wheels, glaringly obvious and glaringly immobile? The above-mentioned enemies have them rotating as standard and they generally appear during gameplay, where the developers have much less control over the computational stress being exerted by the game (and where the game's generally being more demanding on average) than during the cutscenes that airships primarily inhabit.

    So it turns out the bloody great imperial air vessel is called the Gration. I discovered this upon performing a close inspection of the wheels mounted along its spine from flying choco-back.

    They're still not spinning.

    Immersion is a rather important aspect of the nature of MMOs due to the time spent in it.

    Like Butt Purge 2013, this was one of many cosmetics features lost in the jump to 2.0.

    You can bet the reason for its omission will not be satisfactory, either.

    If indeed we ever get one x.x

    Although for the record I too miss the non-flat bottoms >.> And belts for that matter. My favourite acton's just not the same since I haven't been able to cinch it properly.
