    Magitech might be an issue with making it justifiable. I mean our own airships still have a balloon taped to them to keep them in the air. :P

    Would like to see some more attention to this. It's a minor thing yet I think it would be a nice touch to have elevators that are either on a timer a la FFXI/WoW most other elevators or lever-operated. I definitely don't enjoy the idea of elevator rides turned into cut-scenes.

    As annoying as it was, missing the airship or the automatic elevator made me feel like I was part of a world, not the other way around.

    Keep in mind there were elevators in FFXI that would have a cutscene (top floor Jeuno elevator to mog house), but that might have more to do with it was a zone into your rent-a-room.

    Its weird being the only one to get on the elevator, even if you and a party member are both selecting airship or something. But really I don't care either way.. Maybe keep them as they are but atleast make the cutscene have other people getting on(even if they aren't player characters. Or if you are in a the cutscene shows all the party members that are going get on. That all seems too difficult though so maybe a real elevator is better.

    anyway bigger issues little time...

    Yeah, we definitely need a system that doesn't cause a cutscene whenever we go to an elevator. Just make it a decent speed. Also, this will probably not happen but I think a system that charges automatically for airships would be nice. Or just an avoid of a cutscene for going to the airship dock before the actually airship gets there, like an automatic gate.

    Why autocharge for airship? Just because you go to the airship instance doesn't mean anything. You still pay the NPC at the gate, then are put in the queue for when the airship arrives. Just being in that instance should not equal auto payment

    As far as airships go, I also wish they were not instant travel(dont kill me!) I would love to have an onboard airship experience with other players(pirate attacks by air!) Faster than the ferry of course but not instant. I think this has already been confirmed too it was just rushed and they are making the airship area, and sky/ground view while riding for 2.0

    Then a pulley system could be used no problem.

    You might have misunderstood me. I was saying that it would be nice to either talk to the npc and pay, then have the gate just open, and not have to see a cutscene. As far as the autocharge idea, I meant just having a open gate and as you ran through it would charge you. That may be a little less interactive then people want though. Also, it wouldn't charge you every single time you ran through, it would be a pay then you could ran through as many times as you want until the airship shows up.

    Or will the elevators remain as they are, little cutscenes that take us to a new floor?
    Not possible for any of the elevators currently in the game because they take you to new areas. the elevators that exist in FFXI don't do that.

    Also, the cutscene method means you never have to wait for the elevator to come before you can use it.
