I do hope she slips up in front of Cid before they return and he has the good sense to give her a goddamn parachute. I'll be seriously disappointed if she dies from this, or if something ridiculous happens like Misija flying in from out of nowhere to save her. No spoilers, please!
Regarding this
I remember when I first started playing XIV and seeing the airships flying around and thinking "these things probably have a high fatality rate". A knee-high railing, no seats, no seatbelts, and a walkway that doesn't rise up and close leaving a giant hole in said knee-high railing. It's downright baffling how bad the design of airships are, and at one point I was wondering if Cid faked his defection and that Garlond Ironworks is just a ploy to get nation leaders on an airship and then go "oops, they fell to their death because a light breeze struck the Excelsior, one in a million chance encountering wind when flying through the air." And I looked through Encyclopedia Eorzea, I didn't see anything that says the airships somehow keep people glued to the floor when it's flying, and the cutscene with Mikoto sure as shit proved that they aren't safe. But nah, according to EE, Cid is a brilliant inventor specializing in airships and that the airships designed by Garlond Ironworks are second to none. Second to none at killing passengers probably. Airship designers in Eorzea are straight cracked.
