Airships: Cost vs. Frequency vs. Usage

[Delsus]

There's already been talk about adding a, please don't kill me for saying it, FFXI style airship ride in the future to make the trip a little more interesting. Not unlike the ferry, though far shorter and with something other than just a vast expanse of water to stare at.

I would like this, just with something to do rather than finding glitches on the airship to stand outside it lol

once they make the airship rides longer for no reason, is when i stop using them.

Then I can't wait for the day you stop using the airship.

(Although developers originally planned for both options to be available I can't see them removing the lulzport)

I like the FFXI style airship.

i use it all the time right now, but when they add the xi style airship i will use it as often as i do the boat(never).

You know the 3 airship landings out of the cities? i wish airships would dock there

There are more than 3..., 9 in each zone outside of town I believe.

Meh..today I used the airship for the second time.
I used it once right after it was introduced, because, well, new stuff has to be tested xD
And today because I was really tired and lacked the motivation to ride from Gridania to Limsa.
I was shocked that I actually still had to wait after I paid such a large sum of money!

The reason why I don't use airships is not because of the waiting though, I rarely use anima either, but because 5000 Gil is way too much.
I think I'd use it more regulary if every flight cost was about 2000 Gil.

Really? I think that 5k is way low, considering that a single R40 leve will net you 25~50k that's 5~10mins for a leve to pay for 5~10 airship rides. But I do a fair amnt of leves and mostly use my anima to go from city > camp to do leves > back to city > back to camp for leves, when I get on after work to try to speed along my leveling.
I guess if your 100% 50's or at least all that you want to do are, and your not doing leves and what have you this would change some.

Huh ?? you haven't done leves in a long time have you.
