    Ich really like the idea as posted above. Though, I can live with the way XI's ferry ride was. Just add in some more variety and danger/ adventure. Like... pirate attacks! xD Oder spawning sea monsters! Now that would be awesome.
    Oh and a shop... as I tend to forget my fishing rod!

    You know what this annoys me a bit.. The boat ride is just awful, whereas the opening scene from Limsa's boat ride is just phenomonal. I wish a dev would post on a thread about the boat ride because despite it clearly not being a 'high ranking' issue.. It is an issue and the current system sucks. They need to make the boat ride actually valid and usably exciting. Selbina > Mhaura. Mhaura > Whitegate..

    I guess they could make the boat rock up and down & add a splash here and there. what would be sick is if the sail moved like if wind was hitting it..

    or is that too much..

    Carzilla it's too much. It would seem like a game made after 2000 and we both know SE is still in early 1990 =P
    Today i experienced the boat ride and it was terrible.. the dev who tought it was a good idea should be shoot twice. Maybe someday they will add something interesting there but right now they should remove this timesink.

    My main dislikes of the boat ride is that the boat doesnt feel like its sailing at all, the boat doesnt react to the sea, the boat has no visable crew other than the captain/driver. Theres a awful tear through the ocean when you look off to the right on the boat...

    If i didnt have a fishing rod i would have absolutely nothing to do during the trip, i too would like to see pirate attacks and the like. I think the boat could prolly use a parley npc as well for those that dont fish or battle above deck.

    i think all of those things need to be fixed. I really hated it when i would get to the boat before it left then it would leave without me even though I was standing next to it payed and everything -.- though i haven't done this recently they may have fixed that... But it would be nice if riding a boat actually felt like riding a boat... then i might do it more. Oh and don't forget the random sea mobs that come on-board!~
