Theres a thing called anima

[Etienn]

Jaber.... as I've stated many times already. The players themselves wont let me sit through it, because they wouldn't want to wait for me because they didn't want to ride it in the first place.

This^ why have the airship at all if just going to skip, i guess you newbs played ffxi in the later parts of it's lifespan?

[Jaber]

So what you're saying is that you can't enjoy the airship ride unless you're inconveniencing other people while doing so?

news flash new gen mmorpg player this is a se game and is FF, it's older bro did not have the option to skip, end of it, we want immersion, end of it.

It gets funnier every time you say it!

[Rokien]

Take a hint

Or find more crazy people to play with.

Take a hint from what? Please do elaborate.

Jaber, I'm saying that other people wont let me enjoy it because of me inconveniencing them.

[Jaber]

Yes, but what's stopping you from enjoying it during the times when it's not inconveniencing anyone to do so?

[Rokien]

Its just like how I'm not going to hardly use anima anymore because of chocobos. Anima is dumb, in my opinion and a few others. Whats a point in having an airship then jaber if your not going to ride it?

[Jaber]

Why wouldn't you ride it if you enjoy riding it, have the option of riding it, and are not inconveniencing anyone by doing so?

As for chocobos and anima.... If I feel like riding a chocobo around, I'll ride a chocobo around. And I'll probably feel like doing so a lot of the time, because it'll be much more enjoyable when it doesn't take forever to get anywhere.
However, I am well aware that I am not going to feel like doing so ALL the time, and that making everyone wait around for me is not a good way to make friends, so it's nice to have the option of using anima to teleport when I don't feel like running the same path for the tenth time.
Anima is technically not 'instant' as you still have... what, four hours of downtime to regen one point? When you've hit 0 anima after using it all on the swimsuit event you learn this rather quickly. You stop using anima and start running everywhere. And you tire of it. Very. Very. Quickly.
Immersion is only enjoyable when you want to be immersed, and you're not going to want to be immersed all the time, no matter what you think, which is why it's great to have the option to do so when you want and the option to skip it when you just don't feel like it.

What is wrong with wanting detail in something you paid for? We who do not want the easy way out, do not want insta travel airships (temp) or an option to skip the ride, it is no a cs, nor should it be done you new gen mmo player ^_^'.

Please stop saying it's the easy way. It's literally the same ******** level of difficulty as if there were a full ride.

You miss the big picture but ill leave you to your ignorance.

You miss the big picture but ill leave you to your ignorance.

I really feel sorry for you if you think a non-interactive airship ride is a challenge.

Again, it's the same thing we felt the need to stress to SE months ago: time-consuming is not the same as challenging. Why you feel the need to conflate the two all over again is beyond me. . .
