Do you not agree that airships are just a waste of time considering no one will even apreciate the fact they are in the game as they function the exact same way a allready existing system does.
How many times does it need to be said that the insta-ships are temporary?

They're going to redo the world maps. Why would they waste time creating a scenic airship ride just to redo it in a few months?

I'm just thankful they're putting them in. 0 anima from a town from within a town would work just as well. But airships are a part of what makes a fantasy Final Fantasy.
