A more entertaining boat ride.

They could add some fun to the ride with some games. Maybe some poker like card games to play with your fellow passengers or maybe an NCP brings something like Marmots and you can bet on races. It would be a nice distraction from the other things and add a reason for people to ride the ferry.

Some ppl don't want to be on the pc during the travel, i think we got to respect there bio break, but the option of fish/card gaming is actually something cool, ff always had cool side games.

Some NPCs aside from the lone captain would be nice. Like, a crew.

Its just discussion no sign from devs there. But I will stick to boat. And to what I writed before.

We could use system information, when boat is arriving there and there. So we know when to visit port instead of blind waiting.

I cant remember is there music for the boat ride? I turned it off...at a certain point...I dont think the theme was as catchy as 11 tho. Maybe...

FFXI boat music was great. I have the MP3 for it ^^

Quick question that occurred to me. If you can fish up mobs or the boat can be attacked by pirates, and they kill you, what happens? Do you return to the last aetheryte you touched, way back in Limsa/Uldah? Because that would be a bummer.
