Personal Housing Server Limitations and the Future of FFXIV Development

i really don't think airships will ever happen, i think they budgeted for ~400'000 subscribers, and everything after that is pure profit. i don't think they'll go over their budget and add any sort of interactive flight, as that would require modelling a world. that is largely shortcuts + texture bgs. maybe they'll have a cute retro world map 'zone' that lets you fly over to cute chibi versions of landmarks.

I don't give a moogle's @$$ about personal housing. I have my room in my company and I am fine with that. But I am playing this game for two future things.... Dark Knights.... and Airships. I will flip a table if I don't get my Falcon. I'm defending you on this housing thing SE, please don't make me regret wearing my White-Knight armor today guys.

They apparently can't even make server space for instanced housing, what makes you think they can handle players flying air ships around in real time?

You're giving them free license to implement those two features in the worst state imaginable.

Maybe after seeing this valiant sacrifice, Yoshi will finally give you your /die or /playdead or whatever emote you wanted for your birthday.
