Basically a chocobo porter system (to towns or other SE approved locations like aetherytes you can dock with/drop down), and to make sure a gil sink doesn't disappear have a maintenance cost*. With a lot of optical tricks you could make the map load without too much wait on ps3 (distance with low res textures, with decent looking cloud cover = won't be terrible to load or look at).

Going to be sad if they design airships as a very temporary content, FF has done so much with it and I'd consider them a very exciting moment - unlocking that airship in the games that had an overworld.


I typed above as the patch notes came out. Saw the district information - I laughed and cried. Oh well like I said earlier here, it is a good time to let SE know what people actually want ("that game did it better, why are you doing it like this?" lol).
