    To both of you...

    That's gameplay, not standing on a ship watching scenery go past talking to the same three NPCs that say the same thing for 10 years ala XI. All I remember from the ferries/airships in XI is "stay in the hold, go to the bathroom, make a sandwich" come back in 10 minutes to play the game" they weren't exciting or memorable past the first time, the were filler. Fighting monsters over and over again... Well, that's what we do. I'm an adventurer. Not a passenger.

    Basically, once you establish things there is no reason to bring it up again. Do we have need to have a cutscene and instanced section to show that chocobos are a thing? Of course not it been established that chocobos are this universes stand-in for horses. Once you establish the big-bad is an evil sorcerer, you din't need to constantly remind me he's an evil sorcerer and how his magic works, once you establish we have ships that fly, I don't need to be constantly shown "hey! The ships fly! Isn't that COOL!"... Thank you but I know.
