I don't know about 1.0, but Ferry and airship travel was one of the most boring thing in existence in ff11, sure it fits thematically but that 40 minute boat ride between Selbina and Maruha was tedious as crap. And by appealing to ffxi you are using the same logic as "I only want white mages to be able to teleport to Aetherytes because that's how it was in ffxi"
