A more entertaining boat ride.

First off they need to fix the water movement. It doesn't even look like the boats moving while you're riding it.

+1 i miss the pirate attacks on the ferry in FFXI, be happily fishing then suddenly the music changes and silver beard comes out, casts flood for 3000DMG.....and i'm dead....but at least it was awesome! (no sarcasm here it was AWESOME, it's the kinda thing that immerses the player and makes them want to get stronger so one day they can come back and kick that dang pirates bearded butt!)

I guess to fix the lack of a need for a boat ride, there could be an NM spawn or a special fishing catch. Its aboot time they added another NM anyways, Uraeus is getting boring, I can start making a toilet paper brand out of its skin. At least, for the endgame people who started early, its getting boring.

Yes. PLEASE fix the water animation during the boat ride. I'm really not sure how that got by anyone before release.

Also the boat rides would be useful if they also lead to different zones that could only be accessed by boat (maybe some sort of tower or ruin dungeon...or maybe just a small island similar to those added in the Chains of Promathia expansion from FF11).

+ system information when ship is arriving at la noscea, uldah would be nice.

Maybe a guy to give the exact time when the boat will arrive.

I have always thought there needed to be something on the boat. It takes quite a long time as it is, but the fact that nothing happens what so ever is dull. Make below decks safe, and anyone wishing to have some fun above decks with some random enemies, be at it.

yes we need something to do at boat. Play cards in boat bar :P and to win one of rare cards from barkeeper. << Tripletriad freak. However any similiar FF card game would be cool. Meh, that wont ever happen I guess.

There needs to be more NPCs that speak generic pirate language that we can throw things at. Or even better a bar. Lets have some drunken effects. Pirates get drunk right? RIGHT?
