I heard from someone a while back that Yoshi hinted at changing the airship and ferry to be more like it was in FFXI... i.e. doing away with the cutscene, causing to have an actual travel time where people wait for the ship and then travel on it, as well as opening up the possibility to fish on the fairy (and possibly on airship with cloudfishing). Then of course we'd possibly have cool things like pirates trying to take over the ferry and things of that sort that we saw in FFXI.

I know not everyone is in favor of this but it's something I'd really like to see. I think it adds so much more immersion to the game and causes the world to feel bigger. Plus I haven't even taken an airship since the quest to unlock it... it's kind of sad

Can anybody confirm this at all?
