(Even though the PS2 MMO FFXI managed it just fine and 1.x had ferry travel.)

    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"

    Your off by 15-25 minutes here, no ferry ride was 40 minutes long between these destinations, and you could fish or fight mobs on the ride too.

    None of these ferry rides between selbina and mhaura were over 30 minutes tops, and the 30 minutes was if you "just" missed the ferry that left when you showed up.

    If you got there when ferry was at dock the ride was 15 minutes firm.
