Theres a thing called anima

[Shika]

Those things are different. Its like the "check" deal on ffxi. Also as I've stated before, people will force me to instant travel, because they wouldn't want to wait for me, Shika. In the end the people who want immersion in the game kinda lose, till those other people leave.

Possibly, but are you always in game heading to a party of people waiting for you? You can always enjoy it when you have your 5mins or whatever just heading off to check guilds or do quests in another city ^^

It's a fantasy game, nothing has to make any sense whatsoever (and some of it doesn't!).

I don't see the problem with SE giving us options:

If you want to experience in your opinion the full immersion of the game by taking 5-10mins to ride the airship you can; for others who this is not a game-breaking issue for they don't have to. Why are options bad? Do you really want everything in game to have no choices attached to it?

It's no different in my opinion to the enemy aggro icon and rank toggle on and off- if I want full "immersion" and feel that having this displayed on my screen I can toggle it off. If I feel like "actually I don't really care", then I can turn it back on. And having an icon and indicator to tell me what rank a mob is and whether it is aggressive does not "make sense" either, I mean we don't get this in real life do we? ^^

There will not be an option, Thus there should not be an option. ffxi did not have an option, and do no throw the excuse "oh this is no ffxi" because it will go through my right ear and straight out my left ear.

You guys act like ffxi or ffXIV was your first mmo, if it was I pity you.

there should be no skipping that is the point you guys just do not get. Easy mode, why must everything be handed o you guys?

Why shouldn't there be any? Because you said so?

There will not be an option, Thus there should not be an optio

Pretty sure you are wrong on both accounts.

No, I'm not always heading to a party. I'm just saying this for argumentative points. They will always have to wait for me. Its not being rude, its called I want to feel like I'm in the world. Not going to let other people take that away. YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO RIDE THE AIRSHIP ANYWAYS HURP DURP

[Lyndis]

I keep seeing people who are for the keeping the option of having the airship instant travel on refer to the airship ride as 5-1o minutes. A trip from bastok to jeuno in FFXI took just under five minutes. Because this game does have a more casual friendly atmosphere I could see it taking even less time.

The airship ride doesn't have to be 5-1o minutes long. And if you can't wait less then 5 minutes to get to your destination you probably don't have time for anything else (because you're crazy if five minutes of travel kills all your party time), so just log off on the airship and be there when you log back on. Don't kill things by giving people the option to skip this.

currently i use anima for: teleport to 3 cities - 3 x 2 = 6 anima (one city is home point)

field leves (emerald moss + treespeak; drybone + halatali; iron lake) = 3+1(i run to drybone)+2= 6 anima

local leves (LL: bald knoll, iron lake (drop items off when i do field leve), bearded rock = 4+0+0 = 4; Ul'dah: city quest = 0; gridania: emerald moss (drop items off when i do fieldleve), bentbrench, nine ivies = 0+0+4=4) = 8 anima

i log at dragonhead = 3 anima

that's a total of 23 anima i use per 36 hours. i have a limited amount of time to get these things done prior to leve reset and dungeon runs.

please tell me how i can stop running out of anima and why instantaneous travel option via airship is a bad idea.

I never said that but ok. Yoshi p already stated it was temp, so you're complains fall on deaf ears, it would not be fun to skip or fair, a cs is different no? if you are doing a quest or battle yes .... but this is a ferry/airship ride no skipping of any kind should occur even if only a cs, get over it.

are you a new gen mmo rpg player? because from your posts it seems like it. FFXI did fine with it's immersion a lot of other games have nice immersion, yet it's successor is doing worse than it, thanks to Se listening and hearing complaining from you whining babies.

[Etienn]

YOSHI P stated this was temp again, and the cs would come later on in a different patch, so it does not matter what anyone says.

the topic has been beat to death enough.

The Dev. comment says there will be an option.....

"For the system we are planning, we are making it possible to select the speed you want to travel based on your play style. If you would like to travel very fast, you can skip the cut scene and instantly be transported to your destination. If you would like to take your time traveling on the airship, you can."

I don't actually personally care one way or the other if there was an option or not. You're right that in FFXI there was no choice- if I had to spend 5-10mins sitting on the airship in FFXIV also, then that is fine with me. I was simply pointing out that for a few people that are totally against an instant airship ride and want to sit through the whole thing, then they will be able to

Would a dev please post on this issue we are having. Maybe clear up more things for us? I don't know explain in detail on how 1 airship splits into 100000000000. I would love to know, as I'm sure others do as well.
