Please let us *really* ride airships

[Choyi]

You're missing something important. People who use Anima use it to get somewhere quickly. Key word being "quickly". Now say they add no instant option for Airships and keep Ferry as it is. You couldn't go anywhere on either option "quickly" it would take at least 10 minutes for the Ferry as that's how long the ride itself takes, not counting the walk there.

Because they're not going to want to wait 10 minutes or more to get somewhere, they use Anima. Right? So when they run out of Anima, what are they gonna do? They AREN'T going to suck it up all of a sudden and use the long option. Most people are going to get a teleport from someone else at the cost of Gil, typically. What does that sound like? An instant travel option on the airship. And not even, because the airship will likely be limited to main towns and a few other areas.

Having options that don't offer the same or even close to the convenience as the method currently being used means the people will keep using the old method. So then airships become useless for a good deal of people, because the number of folks using Anima who don't care about immersion is likely not small.

Once again, I go back to what I said earlier; people who are against freedom of choice seem more like they just want to have their way, and their way only, the other people be damned. Or rather, like they want it their way with "full immersion" and WANT the other guys who want instant travel to be screwed over, like they get their jollies out of it. That type of thinking is honestly quite petty.

So again I ask, why invest dev time in making a airship no one will use? I say scrap airships and make a warp NPC avaliable between cities and put the same devs on making actual content that people want to experience.

Cause judging from this thread all the majority of players seems to want just that, an instant warp, while we're at it, scrap chocobos as well and just make anima unlimited, this is what you all want isn't it?

Hosestly if this is whats coming of all the waiting for airships etc, its a huge waste of time, like this I would have been much happier with the above suggestion and a bunch of new NMs, dungeons and whatnot instead.
