Please let us *really* ride airships

[Kiote]

Even if they add a full ride flight as an "option" it will make no difference. They would have to put a vast amount of content on it just to get people to ride and they probably wont. The sad fact is that by adding a fast travel airship they have effectively killed the concept of a immersive real time travel system.

You can pretty much count the ferry as dead in the water as well..

i will watch the CS once and skip every other time.

Same here. Because I'm quite tired of seeing the same ferry cut scene over and over.

Here is a million dollar idea SE, from the mouth of the "I want it now" club.

Considering Airships will be optional trips for those who have "No time" yet are seemingly out of anima (How this works I will never know) We need to be more considerate to them! Getting from City to city is almost meaningless what are they going to do when they get there?

Grab leves and then...USE ANIMA to teleport to their camps? I THINK NOT! Chocobos are coming as well, I suggest we make a free optional cutscene for chocobos to pick-up and drop-off players at the Aetherite camp of their choice. Anima is limited and players are always starved for time. Why waste their time moving from point A to point B at all?

This is just the start of my revolutionary ideas for the game. Look forward to my next post about "Lev monsters being at a slight distance...how droll, make them warp to us."

I see where this man is going, and since I can't cater for myself anymore, I might as well help!

Path? Who needs paths? Open space is a waste of SERVER. I say we make this game like "zones" again. You exit town, and you select the camp you want to pop in! Then, the Aetheryte Camp is no longer has a gagillion feet map around it-- Make it a 200 Yamls (at the most) big circular map around the Aetheryte, mobs pop right at the crystal where you initiate the leve. PRESTO! I see no problem here, nobody will claim your mob or anything.

Wanna grind? Instanced. Every single possible camp/dungeon you grind on? Instanced. To which to teleport to, of course.

This is going to get awesome. We only need button mashing content and we are SET!

You should post this in the other threads too since it's obviously true and the same situation.

Thank the Twelve, I love you

Jynx quit giving them ideas. They're going to use the chocobo caravans that way ; ;!

I dunno about everyone else, but the mere fact that this topic has gone on this long proves that, yes, it is an issue, the player base is split on it, and it does, in fact, need to be carefully considered by the dev team. Any old slap-shod implementation just won't do.

ok ok... once they add the flight scene all they need to do is make it gil cost + anima (same as regular teleport)

problem solved lol

That would be epicly hillarious.
