Make Airship/Train feel more "alive"

[Preypacer]

Seeing the land from the airship would be wonderful, though perhaps like others said an option could be put to skip it.

Yeah, I'm on board with providing the option.

In FFXI, it was quite popular for people to work on their fishing while riding the ferry. Having that option would be great for those who want to use it in that way. Or, just to take in the scenery (assuming they provide good scenery along the trip like they did in XI).

Then, you can also offer the option of "instant travel" for those who just want to get to the destination sooner than later. I feel that way about a lot of things that are debated as a purely binary "yes for everyone" or "no for everyone" issue.

They could implement some kind of activity to pass the time on airships, or trains, or ferries. They can implement content that's specific to those particular transportation systems. Not interested? Okay, fine. Just skip that and go straight to your destination.

I see no reason why it has to be an "either/or", "all or nothing" solution.
