then why are we running around on birds v. I am just curious, watching the latest gameplay trailers, if such technology exists in game for modern fuel injected spaceship jet like vehicles flying about, then why do we not have trains, cars, bikes, or a more modern approach to transportation.

It doesn't bother me at all, I love chocobo's, I am just slightly baffled as to how it all fits into the game atmosphere. I feel like FFXIV is set in ancient times of magic and dragons and old flying air balloons, so where do modern space ships fit in, and why is it only van darnus who seems to be keeping up with modern technology where as we just happy to ride chocobos and ride flying air balloons to get between cities?

Looking forwards to August
