Spawning on the ship deck

It's not a cosmetic change honestly, it's actually a system change overall.

Things to do on FFXI's Ferry:

(Along with fishing)

Things that are done with FFXI's Airships:

(aside just taking in scenery from city to city)

XIV's airship won't have..anything (confirmed) at initial implementation, so there are indeed important things to do first, but it's not a mere cosmetic change, the ferry is pretty...underutilized and done all around.

As awesome as the ultima/omega and tenzen fights were I hardly think you can include that in things that were done on an airship because they were so out of the norm. Unless you failed those missions you never fought on an airship again, and even then they were story quests that took about 100+ hours of playtime doing previous missions to get to. Any other airship ride was about the same as the boat rides are now, except they only lasted like 4 minutes.

I know reading is hard, but if you go read through the dev posts, and even interviews, you'll find that they are aware of this and plan to do something in the future

Can you link to the dev posts that talk about this?

[PrettyPrincess]

bahaha I'm not going through all those posts! Maybe if they had it to where you can sort through the dev posts by language I could probably have an easier time finding it

I hope they make boat rides more adventureous. Very boring now. If its raining i go below deck and chill on bench, otherwise i might craft or fish a bit.

~Airship fights would be neat thing too. Doomgaze was always on of my favorite FF encounters.

Waiting for: "But ferry is free at the moment so don't complain!!".

[Chinook]

Unless the "new" maps are remade and have a use for a ferry, that airships do not cover the travel route and anima system changes, I don't see them re-working the ferry anytime soon.

Even more since there are more important matters that make people quit this game at the moment.

Is it just me or am I seeing things?

When I watch the cutscene video of boarding the ship at Vesper Bay, I can see my character walking up to the upper deck while the guy on the cliff waves farewell to us. So of course I'm on the upper deck rather than below.
