Make Public transportation in Eorzea Free

[Renathras]

Too many aetherytes in the newer zones. That's the issue..

Do we really need 2 aetherytes less than a minute a part in some zones...

They could literally just have 1 per region and then go with the chocobo network to branch out from there

I mean, Sea of Clouds, Ays Lla, and Western Highlands are all obnoxious to get around for that reason. I feel like there's a happy medium. Mostly the only people it affects are Hunters, though, I guess...

EDIT:

I do agree, though, with the airships being free. They're basically public transportation that make routes, and not a lot of them (the 3 base city-states, + Ishgard, + Gold Saucer, + Kugane, + Radz-at-han), they don't even all connect (e.g. you can't go from Radz to Gold Saucer), and don't even have service to all major capitals; Old Sharl, Ala Mhigo, Doma, and Garlemald don't have them, and obviously Cyrstarium and Eulmore have their own network (if you did the Custom Delivery quests) but aren't connected to the ones on the Source. After the first three, they never even bothered making boarding/take-off/landing/disembarking cutscenes, it's just direct teleports, even if you're taking off or landing from one of the original three city-states.

Though I feel most people would turn them off, if they actually did just make brief cutscenes and actually have them connect to all the capitals, people might use them a smidge more...though emphasis on the smidge.

Regardless, I do think waving the fee for using them wouldn't be bad in any way.

Same for the ferry boats, though arguably it makes MORE RP/lore sense for them to charge a fee since they aren't "public transportation" with set routes and times, you're actually asking a captain to make a special trip for you, personally.
