The word "Flying" in 1st expansion

[VallisRaine]

Well you got to look at more than just Ishgard for 3.0 Content. There are other areas that can be released other than just Ishgard in 3.0.

yea of course meant new place + ishgard sorry lol

[KenzieLynch]

It won't be flying mounts, more than likely he is referring to a city / place in the sky.

i hope we get airship battles, could possibly be really fun

i know we're going to be able to build airships in our houses at some point so i'm looking forward to it

[Arkghyom]

So anyone got any ideal what Yoshi-P could mean with this...

I don't remember this...?

You don't remember the big airships like the Dreadnaught Leviathan and El Bahamut?

Yet instead of housing soldiers with laser security systems and brigs we can instead have furniture and other possible fun features no one would care for. Like flying above grindania or ul'dah or limsa or whatever new zones or near some zones.

Be able to be outside our ships and enjoy the change in weather. Some safe others more visually appealing but come with their own dangers, like the much hated FATE event. Which forces you to protect your establishment. If you fail to do so. All the furniture in the airship gets broken and lasts that way for one or two hours.

At least with this the NPCs can have jobs and not be deadweight all over Eorza.

well what is in-game regarding flying and sky?

theres the floating city of nym, in outer la nosc. nymian race supposedly founded fairies, but delved too deep in magic and wiped themselves out, just like the amdapori. you can see corrupted nymians as ghosts and tonberries in sunken temple. but unlike the amdapori, it doesnt seem that they opened the voidgate or let demons loose, something else.

theres cloudkin, who resemble dragons. simurgh from the fate in upper la nosc, and the 2nd-to-last boss in pharos sirius are cloudkin. they supposedly live atop mt oghomoro or whatever titan's mountain is.

and we have major visitor from radz at han (or w/e its called). the far east, where jalazhan (new atma weapon npc) and the refugees from boat are from. maybe we fly across the ocean to their continent. also classic final fantasy, maybe the empire developed a flying emerald weapon or chupon will appear.

[Nihonnick]

I interoperated this as. Will we get there by boat, or by airship.
Boat being somewhere close. flying some where further.

I remember those as dungeons but when you said Airship housing, I was like whattt?

I do remember traveling on the airships and you could walk around and talk.
There was only 1 battle on the traveling airship which was a mark.

1 thing I really liked about FF12 was that the npcs would actively run around and actually do some stuff. Eorzea npc just stand around and do nothing... Except for that 1 miquote npc in Rev Toll who walks back and forth, but she doesn't talk.

[Starlord]

They said 3.0 will be the size of 2.0. If you take that into perspective, We would have Ishgard ( obviously) and 2 new areas. Then 14 dungeons + New content that takes place of coil, Expansion story, and other content.

The question originally posed to Yoshi-P awhile back was "sky or sea." He has now stated sky and flying are the way we are headed. An ffxiv version of sky is what this game needs. A large open world area with several zones and activities for soloers and alliances alike.
