Theres a thing called anima

Right, we're selfishly giving you the option you prefer.
That makes so much sense.

This thread descended into madness about 24 pages ago lol.
We are obviously selfish because we don't agree 100% with the OP (OMG people not agreeing on the internet o.O /sarcasm) that airship travel should just be 10mins long so that the people arguing about immersion and realism get to sit there through the journey like the ferry, while the rest of us usually afk anyway.

SE are giving us options and choices and that is not to some players' liking because an airship ride where you can skip the journey automatically means we all want everything with an instant level-up, kill boss and get endgame gear button. Obviously they only play for other people because they won't ever get the choice in game to do what they want to do- and are always on the way to a group, or have people waiting on them, rather than just traveling around doing leves/quests whatever on their own time- so they will be forced to skip the ride and that's NOT FAIR!.............

I get bored of this kind of thing and tend to try and stay fairly unbiased and nice on these forums, so this kind of sarcasm is kind of out of character for me. But, am I really the only person that sees that a discussion that has turned into a s**t flinging contest over one simple option SE are giving us for an airship ride is pretty pathetic? If they made it with no options I wouldn't give a damn, but we are getting an option so of course us "casual", "new gen MMO" players are ruining it for everyone else by having even the slightest bit of happiness about it.

For right now, it is instant. But in 1.2 its going to be both.

@Shika I don't mind options if they can make it be sensible. I want them to explain how you can insta travel and make it make sense in the world. I want them to explain how you can take the same ship but one guy gets there faster. If they cannot make sense of it, it shouldn't be in the game.

Sleep through the trip :U

To the people saying that it doesn't make the game any easier they would be in fact. Wrong

By allowing the airship to remain instant it drops any need to ever use Anima in a city to warp to another city, conserving you Anima to spend on other things that make the game easier. So yeah...it does make things easier.

If people had to wait a few minutes "Hell even a minute lol" to move from city-city I can guarantee a large number of people would still deem the use of their time more precious than the use of anima and warp from city-city still. Therefor cutting them short of anima and the abillity to travel without the dreaded "Walking" mechanic the game has.

getting somewhere faster does not make the ogre easier... it does not make leves star 5 easier. FNM are not easier because of airship travel it makes travel faster.

You are Wrong

It's making them rush the game to finish the little content we have in this game. More anima, more easy travel. I wonder if people are actually going to use Chocobos. Funny, with all these people wanting instant teles and instant rides, you think they won't.

I can't even start to begin where you got off on that tangent. More anima makes things easier to do plain and simple, yes getting to a place takes some effort wether it's your or the poor sap you /follow and AFK on.

What you do not understand is some people WANT to rush content. that is what is fun to them. If everyone had one and only one way to play a game with no choices it would fail. Let them rush content. Its not your problem worry about yourself. Do the content how YOU want to do it. Then you will be much happier.

The reason this debate is fail is becasue SE is giving you the option of doing things the way you like it BUT you are still mad because SE is also giving others the option to play it the way THEY like and your angry about it.

Get over yourself.
