Please let us *really* ride airships

[Onizuka]

I don't understand why a request Topic is often seen as a complaint Topic here... This, for one, is the former.

Also, I don't remember Yoshi-P already said that airship rides would be just cutscenes the first time they were implemented. Can anyone please post a link to this statement?

Anyway, as I didn't read it before today, maybe I missed it or I forgot it, this was something new to me, and so I wanted to ask if there were plans to implement a real airship ride feature and when. If it's going to be after patch 1.21, as it's not listed in today's letter notes, that means after Winter (according to a previous statement where 1.20 would come for Fall and 1.21 for Winter), so I'd like to know if it's confirmed for the future or not.

For instance, I'm one of the few adventurers who don't have problems with Anima (I'm an explorer) and want to ride a chocobo just to ride a chocobo , so the same goes for airships.

Take it easy!

It's news to me too. So if this is common knowledge I apologize for the reaction. God the hole thing is like realizing that Santa's bringing only empty packages this year T__T

Hello, adventurers.

I read Yoshida-san's latest letter and I'm surprised that, if I understood correctly, we won't actually be able to ride airships, but there will only be two cutscenes for departure and arrival.

Now, I can understand that many adventurers would like to have a faster way to travel between cities... but this is way too fast, in my opinion...!

I'm opening this Topic because I don't see any plan to change this in patch 1.20 and 1.21, and I'd really like to properly ride an airship and enjoy my trip in Eorzea's skies with other adventurers. I had already imagined it and all, staring at the landscape and gazing upon sunsets and dawns from above, with a Great music in the background.

Will such a feature be implemented after patch 1.21?

As I'm sure other adventurers also have this desire, let the dev team hear your voice here if you wish.

Faithfully,

Cloudio Onizuka

It's the same as in other mmos, there's really no need to waste time or make it last 10 minutes unless there is any real purpose to it. If the airship can get attacked, i can PVP on it, have shops, play mini-games etc... Then yes hell ya make it rideable but until then i'm more then fine with the cut scenes.

Also if they plan to have long airship ride, it should be optional along with cutscene insta travel one. I bet you after a few rides majority of the people will just want the insta travel option.

Creating a temporary system allows for the implementation of the base mechanic, which helps ensure travelling-balance is established and concreted.

Fancy stuff can come later, maybe even with quests built in.

That and we were screaming "airships" like raving rabbits so they had to put SOMETHING in...

In life you can never satisfied everyone. Enjoy what we have and look forward to new features, but please do make your opinion be hear so we can have a future to look forward to.

+1 do want to ride.

I totally dig the airships!

I though am a bit disappointed because I was hoping we would get to "ride" the airships. A few min ride flying over the world as you travel woulda been nice. Like the ferry basically.

If they don't put in a "ride" on airships then they should take out the ride on the ferry. Ya I said it.

As long as we get a lot more out of the airships in patch 1.20+ I'm fine with it (as long as it really is a temporary measure just to get them in game for now) I really don't fancy just a instant travel cut scene for them.

I really want to see us flying over the zones in the future, and would love to see random attacks events and such.
but good news for now at least.

I'm fine with the quick fix for now but I dont want it to stay like that. I know I know some of you had posted saying that it will be addressed in a later patch ..can we get a link to that?. Also I see all these airship hubs around ezorea. I wanna be able to use them . Give LS/Companies their own airships and boats bring on attacks at random times to the ferry and player boats and airship. You state that you want to bring a sense of danger to the world.. this idea sounds perfect for doing that to me.
