    There is absolutely nothing wrong with FFXIV airships.

    They were designed the way they are to be in accordance with the lore and general gameworld design. If you stop respecting lore, then you get CON=WHM (lol fail). And then the game starts to become inconsistent and gimmicky.

    They look fine to me:

    FFXIV city states only just began airship travel, but their naval ships are much more sophisticated. If they had fleets of huge airships, garlean empire wouldn't seem like such a great threat to the game, since huge overpowering airships are their specialty and intimidation-factor.

    For the 2nd time, no ones talking about the sophistication or the technology of the ships nor the shapes of the boat, but the actual aesthetics/designs that are added to bring the product out, something that SE is well known for in almost every one of their games. Because atm even a harvesters tool has more detail on it.

    some pple can see the diff.
    some are like moms that think every blue color jeans is the same design >.>

    Okay, but if I try to imagine anything that is the same size as the FFXIV airships but of greater complexity, it all looks like complete rubbish, and I think they managed to achieve a nice design in FFXIV given the limitations on technology. I think their choice of intersecting lines and shapes and the building materials were artistically wise ones, and attuned with the aesthetic of the rest of the gameworld.

    its not so much the size of the fleet that makes the garleans a huge thread. its the armourment and weapon systems on thier airships that scares the bajeepers outta people.

    look at it this way, a flock of birds arent scary, they can be shot out of the sky. bu give those birds shields and lasers on thier heads when all you have is a american civil war musket, those birds suddenly become a damn sight scarier lol

    For all the people that say this guy doesn't post anything good, pay attention, because the man is speaking some sense!
